Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

trying to convince myself that when i write a fairly important passage on a scrap of paper, lose it, forget what i was writing, and then attempt to write the same scene again months later, that my second take will be better than that original i lost rather than some desiccated recollection

Twice a year, Hawai'i experiences a strange moment where the sun appears to be exactly overhead & anything that is completely vertical casts no shadow. Let's learn about Lāhainā Noon, subsolar points & 'Kau ka lā i ka lolo', meaning "the sun rests on the brains."

From a Reddit forum, a photo of a can of coconut milk with a blue label, papyrus text and a flip-top, on a sidewalk.  It seems to hover because there's no visible shadow.  The pavement is sort of unevenly colored, with bright spots, and the grass along it is green and lush.

Adore this unexpected WINGS OF FEAR comic in a 1988 Bunty book in which a strange girl called Leonie uses her ‘power of controlling birds’ to attack random people who piss her off.

i'm sorry but the moon is a complete boondoggle that should never have been put up there in the first place. we still have to send repair missions up there a hundred-plus years later all because taft was trailing in the polls and decided to learn magick. i don't know why he thought it would help him

partner just executed the worst guiness pour i've ever seen in my life. was fighting for his life against the foam and losing. non-alcoholic, into a plastic cup full of crushed ice. tasted like if soy sauce were chocolate but also grass. despite all of this, shockingly good experience

my partner does screenwriting and (much love, I watch and enjoy a movie 2-3 times a year, great medium) i have been trying to lure him to the realm of prose writing by misquoting grr martin: come with me. you can have as many horses as your heart desires

“Who will teach me to write? a reader wanted to know. The page, the page, the blankness of eternity which you cover slowly; which you cover woodenly, ruining it; the page, which you cover slowly with the crabbed thread of your gut: that page will teach you to write.” —Annie Dillard
