The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

By A Horse

Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.

I am thinking I would like to try cake.

Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.

Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.

I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You  know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."

Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

Michael Grant and I have concerns that the project is under-resourced. But one of the producers, Sev Ohanian, is a friend, as well as a genuine Animorphs fan. If anyone can make it work, he can. Fingers crossed. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

My answers for the below are so funny to me because it's like. No one has ever heard of Nurse Angel Ririka SOS. Japanese people barely seem to know it. That show's popularity was a Korean special, only—same with Kaitou Saint Tail and Akazukin Chacha. InuYasha has more longevity in Korea than Japan.

We’ve just released a new way to share your work, Ellipsus fam... Introducing: the Reader! It’s is a dedicated public sharing mode with formatting designed specifically for your audience.

When I read and encounter delightful words I want to use in the future someday, I write them down in a journal so I can revisit them. Today I was writing down "lapidary" but then saw previous entries like "orison," "evince," and "perspicacity," and it made me glad I collected them ahaha

I like it when I look at old things I've written and see flaws/think it isn't as good as it could be because it's reassures me that my skills and critical eye have developed from where they were before

I think this is such an important sentiment in modern day, when so many people fixate solely on 'relating' to characters and fiction—from The New York Times' interview with Director Park Chan-wook:

A screencap excerpt of a New York Times article:

And it’s not as if theatergoers have to empathize with Park’s motley crew of cheats, murderers and scoundrels, or necessarily should, the director said: “I don’t think the sole purpose of film or art is for the audience or the reader to think, oh, I would also do that. I can completely understand why they do that.”
He continued, “It’s actually to convincingly propose that there are people who would act differently from how I would in this world,” he continued. “I think that allows the audience and the reader to expand their imaginations and their understanding of mankind.”
