While dog-sitting for friends this weekend, I discovered my favorite hat, lost six years ago, tucked deep inside my rarely used laptop bag. What a joy! These are the critters who made that joy even joyful-er.

Screenshot of a social media post by “qasimrashid.” The text reads: Justice Amy Coney Barrett says she ‘didn’t know how to explain to her child that she has to wear a bulletproof vest to work.’ As a parent myself, here’s my suggestion of what to say: ‘Mommy is one of the nine most powerful judges in America, and at every chance to help protect meaningful gun safety legislation, I’ve chosen the extremely reckless and stupid decision of expanding gun access, even to violent sociopaths, thus putting your and my life in abject danger—but that’s the price of freedom.’

The life we chose. #writerslife #writesky

Screenshot of a tweet joking about endless revisions: “Writer tip: no, you are not done editing the book. You will never be done editing the book. Centuries from now, when humankind has moved to new planets, you’ll still be hunched over your desk agonizing over that one scene that just won’t work.”

I spent the whole day in the mountains on a lake and feel a 💯percent better. Would recommend.

It's me.

Social media thread joking about memory and rereading. Post: “Loving a book and remembering what happened in that book are two entirely distinct disciplines.” Reply: “Thus the conundrum—reread the great book, or a new one?” OP: “Option 3: read a new book you’ve actually read before.” Final post: “Me on page 324: wait a sec.”

What horror movie image still haunts you?

A friendly reminder to always listen to your muse. #writerslife #writesky

Classical-style painting of a bearded painter holding a brush, labeled “Writers and Artists.” Over his shoulder, a grinning skeleton playing a violin—labeled “their muse”—says, “Create that fucked up stuff.” The meme jokes that chaotic ideas inspire creators.

I mean, that window isn't going to stare out of itself, yunno? #writerslife #amwriting #writesky

Screenshot of a social media post that reads, “Sorry I can’t make it. I’ll be busy for the next three days doing twenty minutes of writing.”

Screenshot of a tweet. Text: “I was walking, lost in thought, and ended up in the Library of Unwritten Books. I couldn’t read my own unwritten books, but I read one of yours. It was really good. You should write it.”

Screenshot of a humorous text post (username “not-poignant” with colorful checkmarks). It reads:

“re-reads my own story: Damn this is some good shit

gets to the part where I stopped writing: WTF WHERE’S THE REST OF IT HOW DO I GET MORE

Brain: You’re the author, if you want more you have to write it

Me: flips tables”

I'm so excited for Sepp Kuss. He's my favorite male cyclist these days, hands down. #cyclingislife #giroditalia2026

Three-photo collage of a Sepp Kuss road cyclist in a yellow-and-black “Visma | lease a bike” jersey and helmet. Top-left: hands over mouth in disbelief. Top-right: smiling, mouth open while riding. Bottom: large image of the rider at the finish, arms raised in celebration, face sweaty with sunscreen on the nose, crowd and sky blurred in the background. Image shows him winning stages in all three cycling Grand Tours.

It's me. #writerslife

Three-panel meme of a weary-looking man in a brown jacket bracing against a wooden post, hand to his chest and eyes closed as if overwhelmed. Overlaid text reads: “WRITERS REALISING THE ONLY WAY THEIR BOOK WILL BE WRITTEN IS IF THEY WRITE IT.”

The last one would push me into writing something the size of War and Peace overnight. #writerslife

Alt text: A tweet by C.G. Drews (@PaperFury) reads:

"ways to fix writer's block

try turning the author on and off again
let them talk, they might talk themselves out of their own mess
if they're crying, put them in a bag of rice
say 'give up then' in a comforting way and watch them get back to work out of sheer spite"

This little psychopath turns 7 today. So far he's had second breakfast, tried to eat some shoelaces, watched birds from his outside tent, and had third breakfast. It's a life. #weewesleywheaton

"At the edge of our hope, at the end of our time, we have chosen not only to believe in ourselves, but in each other. Today there is not a man nor woman that shall stand alone. Not today. Today we face the monsters at our door and bring the fight to them! Today, we are canceling the apocalypse!"

How many of us remember Kreuzter, who gunned down over a dozen of his fellow soldiers at Fort Bragg, just a couple of months before I got there? Just me? Yes, let us make our military bases, filled with folks with PTSD, just as "safe" as we make our schools. Great idea, Kegseth.
