I very much agree with this. As soon as I realized there were puns occurring frequently in Wordle, I got irritated. This explains a lot.
A breakfast at Morgan’s Mill in Woodland, CA before I dive into a little writing and a little working.
Perfect for a cooler Saturday evening.

Love that there’s a lending library easily accessible for kids.
Friday starting off right, at Pivot Coffee.
Really enjoyed this very insightful post from @annahavron.
Finished reading: Which Side Are You On by Ryan Lee Wong 📚
With (seemingly) everyone jumping from social platform to social platform, I hope people are coming to realize just how important owning your own website/blog is.
Establish a home base and let everyone find you there.
Just thinking about the many lives lost, upended in Korea (#itaewon) and India (the bridge collapse). 💜
Celebrating someone being attacked in their own home has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with character (or lack of).
So, that was the “big” flickr announcement? Props to TWiP and all but that felt very overhyped.
I’m underwhelmed.

Refreshing perspective. Brilliant while simultaneously grounded. Useful in many ways.
Finished reading: The Night Eaters: She Eats the Night (the Night Eaters Book #1) by Marjorie Liu 📚
Liu and Takeda are an amazing combination. The art in this is awe-inspiring. Looking forward to the next volume.
Watched: Rings of Power (2022) s1. 📺
Good overall and I really liked it. But it felt, at times, that it could/should be better.
Watched: Bad Sisters (2022). 📺
Well, that was a wild ride! Great ending.

Finished reading: Ducks by Kate Beaton 📚
Very well-deserved of all of its praise.
Finished reading: The Rabbit Hutch by Tess Gunty 📚
Wow! And for a debut novel, I’m in complete awe. I couldn’t put this one down.
Finished reading: Dance Hall of the Dead by Tony Hillerman 📚
Classic ending. Enjoyed very much.
“Buy Something”, Poorly Drawn Lines.
Uncanny. I’ve been thinking about consumerism a lot (A LOT) this week. And then this comes out. 😁
This absurd juxtaposition of overeating for prize money, with a donation of food to the city’s food bank, feels like an uncomfortable quandary of our consumer culture.
Finished reading: The Swimmers by Julie Otsuka 📚
The first part of the book, with the pool and the pool’s crack, was a gentle metaphor for how the rest played out. A very moving and beautiful story.
First time hearing a track from Nation of Language. From the Hill is really well done, and invokes some Depeche Mode vibes. 🎵
Lunch, a BLT + A. Need to make these more often.
