Good morning!
(This is actually my wife’s mug. I just wanted to gift you the song that is now likely stuck in your head.)
So many thoughts this morning…
- How blessed I am to know so many trans people.
- Everyone involved with this thing at The Hugo Awards should resign and never be allowed near it. The award itself should remain meaningless until this occurs: Leaked emails show works were excluded from Hugo Awards over China concerns
- The reported death of Alexei Navalny has me simultaneously feeling sad and also wondering why it took Putin so long to carry it out: Jailed Putin critic Alexei Navalny dead, says Russia
- Something just doesn’t pass the smell test with this story to me. Can’t put my finger on why. Just doesn’t seem plausible: How I Fell for an Amazon Scam Call and Handed Over $50,000
I am putting two facial moisturizers in a, um, head-to-head competition to see which one does a better job. This is the kind of exciting life one leads after age 55.
Freshly sharpened.
Big plans.
Repping the former brand.
Editing pass one complete.
Editing…
Can we also talk about the one thing when talking about the other?
A thought: If one side has the desire to do something, the power to do something, and does something… OK, let’s talk about that. If the other side has the desire to do the same thing and given the potential to do that same thing would do that same thing, yet, despite attempts has not yet but are fully committed to it… Can we also talk about that? I mean, is it OK to talk about both?
Here’s an imperfect observation:
Every writer must eventually write about writing.
Every pop/rock artist must eventually write a song about the music industry.
Every visual artist must try their hand at a self portrait.
