One of my great joys this year has been launching Tiny Cat Press (tinycatpress.com), which will focus on handmade, limited-edition chaps. I'm already itching to find the next tiny book to make! (But I just started a semester, so maybe that's a bad idea right this minute.)

To celebrate a new year, I launched a new little imprint to focus on handmade, limited edition chaps. These first two titles probably won't last much longer, so grab your copies.

There’s a tweet going around with the picture of the Bat Signal and asking when the Justice League or the Avengers are coming to save us
And I’ve seen a lot of “we’re adults, it’s time to grow up and be the helpers a la Mr Rogers” takes

Had coffee with a new friend and conversation turned to Twitter. I said I love Bluesky because don't miss all the outrage and the constant hot takes, the algorithmic amplification of rage. He said he doesn't-- he misses the community, because Bluesky hasn't captured that. We're both right. Sigh.

When Leo and I went to see Titanic, we were kind of bored with the story so about an hour in we started pounding on our armrests, whispering "Sink the boat!"
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.
