WHAT: Aaron Esh (spring 2026)

OCCASIONS: legerdemain or leaving a single black rose on the pillow of an exiled dictator, causing him to stutter, “they’re b-b-back” when he sees it.

IF IT WERE A SCENT: deck of cards, dipped in bourbon, on fire

EMOTIONAL RANGE: ruthless/sexypants

19 years into marriage, there are still surprises. I just walked into a room and my husband looked up from his sketchbook and said “What’s going on with the word ‘bride’? Why is it so…equestrian?”

This is all of us rn

Photo of two Tozzi Puppet Factory hand puppets posed in front of a white background. One puppet is fuzzy white fur with yellow, black and orange striped arms. The other is bright green with gray hair, wearing a printed tank top with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. They both have an exhausted expression on their faces

September 11th haunts me less than it used to and that feels right but also hard to believe. If you’re interested, years ago I wrote down my experience of that day.

I’m so sorry, Jeff. I just now came to your page to see those beautiful dogs—always a little pick-me-up. You and your family have given them such a great life. Thanks for sharing it with us.

A year ago, doctors told me I had neuroendocrine cancer of the pancreas. I’d probably been living with it for a decade. I will likely never be cured. But after a year of surgeries, radiation and monthly shots with a giant needle, I’m not going anywhere anytime soon. defector.com/my-life-with...
