Cascade Writers still has a few slots open this summer — Workshop with me, David Levine and Beth Meacham.
Tai Nasha No Karosha: Reflections on a Week of Blogging — Michael Chabon ruminates on being a guest blogger for Ta-Nehisi Coates, including some very funny and striking thoughts on what it means to be a novelist.
Space Invaders: Why you should never, ever use two spaces after a period. — A lovely rant. More than a bit overdone, but a lot of fun to read.
Criminal Minds Greatest Hits — Do not drink fluids near keyboard while watching. (All blame to
matociquala.)
From Mud Boots to Polyester – Fashion’s Still Nothing but Shelter, Status and Sex — √Recently, some rather better-dressed humans took a close look at the DNA of clothing lice and determined (based on an assumed rate of mutation) that humans first started wearing clothes about 170,000 years ago. A nifty squib from Science In My Fiction.
Asking a Rude Question — Andrew Wheeler on the Tuscon shootings and the subsequent spike in gun sales.
