I picked up “The Ogress and the Orphans” by @kellybarnhill.bsky.social from the library, weeks ago. Life has been life-ing extra hard and I had no time to read.
Tonight, I decided to start reading it as my kid’s bedtime story. I’m blown away; she wants me to read more but I have a sore throat.

Yeah, no, Put It Back works on some things (ancient coffins, stone tablets from buried tombs, books with locks in the walls of a church) but this thing was just out there wanting to be found. It won’t go away until a full Magnus Archive episode of shit happens.

A bit of Burns, since it’s Burns’ Night:
“May Liberty meet wi’ success!
May Prudence protect her frae evil!
May tyrants and tyranny tine i’ the mist,
And wander their way to the devil!”
- Here’s a health to them that’s awa.

There’s great potential for an Abbott and Costello bit here, where the OP keeps trying to guess what I call it and I keep saying “Warmer.”

My kid just said that her doll’s shoes are just like “human shoes” and now I’m wondering if shoes technically count as a featherless biped.

Actual conversation with 6 y/o yesterday.
Her: I like Barbies, daddy.
Me: I don’t even know who Barbie’s daddy is.
Her: Nooo, I just like Barbies.
Her after a few moments thought: I would need to get a Ken for Barbie to have a daddy.
Her: I like Barbies, daddy.
Me: I don’t even know who Barbie’s daddy is.
Her: Nooo, I just like Barbies.

and now we know of Daddyboy (the girl) who has friends named Mommyboy and Bobbyboy, who are all orphans whose parents died in a car accident in a Supernova (which is a restaurant) and have a dog named Supernova

Know how they’re always saying, “If people who want guns can’t get them legally, they’ll just get them illegally”?
What do they think will happen if people want justice but getting it “legally” is impossible? That’s where we’re heading.

What the actual fuck? The DEADLINE was yesterday. Sure Dems, come on out and tell us how they broke the law by not releasing all the documents, redacting hundreds of pages, and adding photos of Bill Clinton that had nothing to do with Epstein. Where are the US Marshalls? The DEADLINE was yesterday.

Having grown up in Scotland and moved to the US, I’ve realised the differences in how cute comedy industry works back home. Basically, it’s easier to have a career as a comedian without having to “make it big” with a huge headlining show, because TV panel shows are a stable source of paid work.
I do think I've observed in basically all creative fields that celebrity is dangerous, because really good craft takes time, and you just can't do it if you're doing nonstop interviews and articles and things. Like a lot of authors' second or third works feel generic/under-researched.
Put another way: at some point comedians go from laugh lines to applause lines. Problem is applause lines are easy and boring. Laugh lines are very hard. To my mind an ideal life as a writer or researcher is you do that sort of hard when you're young and a different (sustained) sort of hard later.
