You can only say “But that doesn’t make any sense!” so many times.

Looks like cedar lath, in which case there’s a decent chance it came from here—the site of the old Port Blakely mill, down the road from my house, which hit a boom (“the largest sawmill in the world,” allegedly) shipping lumber to SF in the decades after the quake.

Was there actually someone who got their face eaten by a leopard they mistook for harmless?

“Leopold Bloom—you seen this guy online? He eats with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. I’m talking thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, roast heart, liverslices. Best of all: grilled mutton kidney which gives to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine. He calls it offalmaxxing.”

I didn’t mean “correction” in a bad way! You were telling me the *correct* title. Guessing it came off as a little snippy or agitated or defensive only because we’re communicating on the Internet.

Thank you for this revelatory correction. It tracks!

When I was an adolescent there was a song called “Sadness Pt 1” that was some trance-y dance beats under Gregorian chants—very heady, very ethereal stuff—and boys and girls at Bar Mitzvahs used to grind on each other to it.

We're going to hear from bigger writers, better writers, and writers who worked more closely with her, and I will read every one of their stories. I'm so grateful to have been a small part of her big world.

Over 1,400 people stepped up to shovel snow in New York City as the city was hit by a major blizzard.

Zohran bumped pay from $19 to $30 — and got nearly 3x the number of emergency shovelers compared to the last big storm in January.
