You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

tonight while recording a guest spot on a podcast i experienced an unacceptable level of disrespect from one of the hosts. so i decided to do what felt right for me and i left. i didn’t need to stick around to show i’m “tough” or “thick skinned.” i reminded myself that no one is owed my time.

Shattered visage in the desert by the stone legs
wrinkles its lip at you.

Individuation is not individualism.
We often punish, exile, imprison, crucify, assassinate, or devalue humans who have committed to walk an individuating path.

Alone Together — What A Shrink Thinks
We need each other and we harm each other. We serve each other and threaten to devour each other. We yearn to rely on each other, and we profoundly disappoint each other. We can't live with each other...

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

Imagine going to college, graduating, thinking you're entering show business, and *that* becomes your career.
Your boss, who is in the Epstein files, emails you like "we got a new client, congrats" and it's fucking Woody Allen.
A decade later, you're hired to do it for Louis CK

This is a really powerful piece about the enduring value of close reading, both within and beyond the university. I enjoyed its precise articulation, and very personal grounding, of faith in that value.
I wrote an essay for @bostonreview.bsky.social about what I learned about close reading when I taught at West Virginia University
