New #blog post: How and why #RayBradbury, a real, human author, chooses to use the em-dash, and why it's important to reclaim the punctuation mark from the machines.

Bradbury vs the Bots: Why Human Authors Choose to Use the Em-Dash
Last Saturday, the literary world celebrated Ray Bradbury’s birthday, as fans around the world memorized their favorite passages by the acclaimed science fiction writer and recited them on their channels, along with the hashtag #rayday. The tribute was inspired by Bradbury’s most famous book, Fahrenheit 451, in which (spoiler alert) a group of rebels memorize important works of literature so that they will live on even as the authorities burn all the physical copies.

Happy #RayDay! To kick things off, here is the birth announcement I uncovered in the Waukegan News-Sun. The date is an error. When I showed this to #RayBRadbury, he was elated! He had no idea this ran in his hometown newspaper.

I love this photo. Here is a teenage Ray Bradbury in the mid-1930s alongside actress Ida Lupino who would go on to a career as one of the first women film directors.

A young Ray Bradbury, roused from a nap by his Aunt Neva to take this iconic photograph. This was taken right outside the house I shared earlier.
