Heavy Day
I mean, like, literally. Each of these boxes are about fifty pounds, I’d guess: Also the other kind of heavy, though—the Back to the Future kind of heavy, except this is about the past: those are all my papers.

Daunserly Light
Yeah, Twitter, like everything else, is imperfect, but when you see it crowdsourcing like this—just random people dogpiling a question—then it’s a bit closer, anyway (also? been researching this stuff for a story, so, was lucky to stumble into this): What’s the weirdest thing you remember misunderstanding as a kid?

Psycho Cat
I think this will be only the second cat-related thing I’ve ever posted in all my internet years (before then, it was just leaving cat-related stuff on utility poles, I guess) (which I was a fiend for). The other is this Mapquest cat, whom I so completely identify with. This is maybe even cooler, though:

Bram Stoker Award for Mapping the Interior
Amazing-cool. So honored. Couldn’t be there this time around, but could follow along online, and with people texting. It starts here: Then a zoom in on the night’s proceedings: Then Rena Mason and Victor LaValle presenting for Mapping’s category, long fiction, Paul Tremblay accepting, and Mackenzie Kiera behind the camera: Here’s a full list of …
