#oneaday Day 874: Mon capitaine
Patrick Stewart has passed away at the age of 86. This one really, really hurts, so I thought I'd talk a bit about that today, since as I type this, the news has pretty much literally just broken. Patrick Stewart is one of those actors who, once you had let him into your life in...

Earworm of the Moment
Mortality is universal. Everything dies. No worries, I’m okay. All is right in the world. I’m just in a introspective mood, and my thoughts shifted to morbid pastures. Tír na nÓg is closer by the day, but I’m not ready to enter yet. I’ve got a lot of living left to do. I have to...

'Would You Like to Reload a Previous Save?' (➤Yes / No)
Revisiting my maladaptive daydream of waking up at twelve years old with all my present knowledge intact, I weigh the seductive fantasy of correcting every regret—being a better brother to Byron, buying Bitcoin with birthday money—against everything that would be erased: 500,000 words, hard-won relationships, the album that got me through a specific winter. A meditation on the future self who would trade almost anything for one more ordinary day. The door is already halfway closed.

I Want to be Unremarkable
A meditation on the contradiction of writing publicly while wanting to remain unremarkable, drawing on Daoist uselessness, Epicurean lathe biōsas, state legibility, and Deleuzian imperceptibility—and why the only peaceful path is to keep writing and surrender to shared oblivion.

Is the Juice Worth the Squeeze?
A laminated poster with an unsourced quote changed the trajectory of my entire life when I was a teenager. On the immutable transaction of trading days for how we spend them, the urgency of risk-taking in a world that needs it, and what it means to give everything you have before your inevitable departure.

The Web We Lost, and Other Losses
I got the chance to revisit some of the themes of the Web We Lost in the broader context of how we confront our mortality and impermanence in the digital realm on WNYC a few weeks ago. I’m pleased with how the conversation came out, and if you’ve got 15 minutes, you can listen to it here.

Things to remember when I'm dead
The following is a brief list of things that you should not do at that point, long in the future, when I have died. - Do not display my dried-up, beef jerky-looking carcass anywhere so people can line up for it like it’s Space Mountain. - Do not go on a multi-city "Anil’s Dead!" tour where my…

So, I should note, the
So, I should note, the extraordinary Greg Knauss is writing again. His terrific novel-in-progress is a dark rumination on the concepts of disability and aging and mortality, and perhaps that’s why I was reluctant to link to it. I’ve been contemplating the same topics of late, though unfortunately…

miserable birthday greetings
Whew! After a long Labor Day weekend hiatus from updating this site, I have finally returned. Lots of new ideas, but oh so little time to upload them… First of all, some poetry. A reflection on aging in general, and on my birthday in particular, courtesy of my good friend Jonathan Markle. (This was…
