I know things are ugly out there--ugly and disheartening--but I hope you're finding some happiness in your personal life and that you've had some refuge in good books and music. My current personal delights:
"Rushmere" - Mumford & Sons
Nonseuch - unreleased Francis Spufford (2026)
Penguin (MAX)

Commission your friends for art. Give them dollars (this makes them happy) in exchange for drawing you like (this makes you happy). This is symbiosis. This is a healthy ecosystem.
Support your friends. Support art. Support your friends' art.

My only criticism of George Orwell’s 1984 is that it wasn’t titled 2025.

I am the mystery reader for my kid's kindergarten class tomorrow and I get to pick the book and I've never taken a decision so seriously before!

My fiancee just asked me "during the Civil War where did they fight?"
A woman has never given a man such a gift. I'm firing up the documentaries. Starting with Ken Burns. Recommendations welcome.

Having a big cast is not an issue, it's not equipping your story to handle a big cast that is an issue. There is no "big cast" problem there is just a bad writing problem. You can make a big cast feel alive in a story though tons of things it depends on how you use the space and the space you got.

Which ever one of you mentioned browsing the Kmart “latest arrivals” webpage, thank you so much. I adore catalogue shopping. Are used to love the Innovations catalogue back in that day.

Last night, I did something silly and looked up my kids’ poetry collection on Goodreads. Somebody left 2*:
“Maybe I'm not the target audience for this. There's a good chance I'm too old for this because it feels like a book written for 12 year olds.”
IT LITERALLY 𝗜𝗦 A BOOK WRITTEN FOR 12 YEAR OLDS

7 Stages of Pen Grief:
1. Realizing it doesn't work
2. Scribbling on the notebook
3. Scribbling harder on some cardboard or whatever
4. Looking at the full ink reservoir and frowning
5. Sucking on the ballpoint
6. Scribbling on the notebook some more
7. Throwing it across the room

The "is listening to an audiobook 'reading'" argument (no, it's listening) upsets me, not because people being wrong about it matters, but because it reveals a value system that insists that things must have the same name to be treated as equally valuable.
And that has broader implications

Do not mess with librarians. They let complete strangers borrow their books. For a living. Even the hardcovers. They are so much stronger than you know.

If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.
