new england is still a calvinist experiment
i was born and raised in new england. for most of my life, i had no idea how different it was from the rest of the united states. even today, i still am reminded of things that are strictly new england based that don't exist elsewhere. what do you mean you don't offer coffee milk as one of the milk options to elementary school students? so like... why is it like that? every region in the US notoriously has its own things, but new england is some separate type of covenant. if you trace it back to...1

How different are things, really?
I was thinking about the past today, and how it feels like I haven't been really in touch with my feelings when it comes to writing in a long time. It's rare that I have the space and time alone to fully experience the world and write about it. I think back to a time in my childhood where I was writing a short story for school, and even though it was just a simple assignment, I felt so passionate about what I was writing. I can remember the way the air felt on my skin. There was a thunderstorm r...7
moderation
the extent to which i trust my intuition is a blessing and a curse. on the one hand, confidence is very helpful. if i trust myself enough to lean on my intuition and things go well, my confidence increases and i feel more capable. like power stances in the mirror have some scientific basis, i think this makes a difference. on the other hand, i am often duped by my own aggrandized or myopic self-narration. in particular, confidence to paper over a lack of discipline that is not healthy5
Right Place, Write Time
INT. APARTMENT - DAY Drew, (30), hunches over his desk staring at a blank screen, wondering if words will just miraculously appear. I really should be writing more, but I don't have a good script idea right now.1

Things that didn't suck this week
May 29 - June 5 Hope there were some things in your life that didn’t suck this week!1
shoulders are the poorest designed feature of the human body
on monday i was doing basic yardwork and somehow tore my shoulder labrum, which i didn't know until wednesday. i wasn't convinced that i could've had an injury like this from only shoveling mulch so i started researching how shoulders work. turns out they're pretty badly designed. most joints in your body are built around stability. hip is a deep ball-and-socket. it sits inside a cup that's more than half enclosed in bone. knees are hinges reinforced by some of the strongest ligaments in the bod...2
Gaysploitation Forever!
Do not let factoids, TikToks, Instagram reels, or neatly packaged retrospectives fool you: gay people have not always been represented in Hollywood, not in any legible way. They were present, of course, most commonly behind the camera. But on screen they flickered in and out like phantoms: suggested and coded, but rarely named. Queer cinema began in the margins. “Gaysploitation” is one of those terms that exists almost entirely in the margins as well. There is no official entry for it in the ca...1
what's your conspiracy theory?
i'm not a conspiracy theorist, but everyone has That One Thing. mine is that the water in the US is what is making everyone sick. i'm not sure who needs to hear this, but if you (or anyone in your gene pool) has a type of auto-inflammatory condition and you live in the US/UK/Canada/Australia, your symptoms are probably made worse by chloramine, AKA your tap water. what is chloramine and why is it here?1
Merlin Bird ID for the bird obsessed
I am not a seasoned birdwatcher by any means, but I love watching birds. I live near a very large state park that has undertaken extensive efforts to conserve birds native to our region, so we’re fortunate to have tons of birds right in our backyard When I discovered the Merlin Bird ID app a couple of years ago, I was immediately hooked. Made by the Cornell Lab or Ornithology, this app listens to the bird sounds around you and then (with a somewhat high degree of accuracy based on my experience ...2
