I have a cool job. If I was asked to map out a 5 year plan to get here, I wouldn’t have been able to. You just have to keep moving forward. open.substack.com/pub/catherinem…
you literally just have to get really good at continuing.
The math on this image is insane. New Horizons transmitted at 2,000 bits per second from 3 billion miles away. Slower than a 1990s dial-up modem. It took 16 months to download all the flyby data. The spacecraft had to hit a target box 100km wide, arriving within 150 seconds…
It took 9 years and 3 billion miles to get this shot. Pluto’s icy Mountains.
Waiting over 20 years after the movie came out for the kids that grew up on it to have this type of money is genius.
The biggest LEGO ‘LORD OF THE RINGS’ set ever will reportedly release in June and cost $650 The set will be the city of Minas Tirith and will be made of 8278 pieces (Source: BrickTap/Reddit)
my favorite suggestion to combat this misunderstanding:
Lets put cup handles on nuclear cooling towers so people remember that isn't smoke, it's steam...
Some truths only come out after three bottles of Piedmonte, two shots of Blackbird, a dozen oysters, and one A&W Momma burger. And only if you’re with good, trustworthy company. The stars rarely align, but they did tonight. So glad they did.
“Divorce is a writer's business,” Anahid Nersessian writes in our new issue. “You can paint a wedding but not a divorce.” yalereview.org/article/anahid…
“It takes romance out of the candlelit room and puts it straight into the calendar.” Some sentences just knock the breath out of my lungs. I pray the muse visits and drops a banger like this on me. When I see it in the wild, I know the muse has favourites. And I understand why.
Because it is the most adult romantic sentence ever written, and it still sounds like a kid blurting out a secret. Most love lines are about intensity in the moment. Fire. Fate. Chemistry. All that shiny stuff that lives in the first months when you can barely eat and you think…
just spent two hours crafting a thought, only to realize I didn’t agree with it anymore. this is one of many reasons the act of writing is so important, and should never be outsourced. thinking hones your writing. writing hones your thinking.

There is this lie we all secretly believed : if a friendship is real, it will always feel like it does right now. You remember that version. Three hour calls about nothing. Replying in 0.3 seconds. Seeing a meme and sending it to five people because all of you were permanently…
this is the best reply to anyone with a creative impulse who resists because “everything’s already been said.” writers have always repeated the same ideas in new language. repetition is how ideas stay alive, and it’s astonishing how quickly we forget

I’ll renew my @torontolibrary card so I can read Lewis’s Mere Christianity. Thanks @dieworkwear !
A friend of mine who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability,…
I’ve killed so many darlings, banishing their blood to version history of this doc. The ones I’ve spared are written by hand in real ink, paper. To them I feel sympathy--I let them live, cluttering my desk. The others will be immortalized in my journal. Writing is a violent act.
great list, my mods in () - clear (self-selected, meaningful) goal and direction - concentric circles of friends (who i invited/invited me to things so i… - always (had) something to do… - (and still have enough) of unstructured time + daily movement (run,walk,etc) unbeatable
been reflecting on this as i hit a kind of rock bottom for me, the later years of college shine in my memory for the lack of responsibility, very much but also - clear goal and direction - concentric circles of friends - always something to do - tons of unstructured time
Every couple generations we remove a load bearing rule because the problem no longer exists and find out why the rule existed.
The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.

Also ‘sloppy’ takes a new meaning following the coining of ‘AI slop’ Sloppy now could also mean “so blatantly LLM generated as to warrant disgust, planting a seed of distrust wrt the person who presented it and all their future contributions”
Men should study writing if only because the male equivalent of sending a selfie is sending letters to her. Men want pictures, women want words.
if you're actually articulate you need to be writing extremely horny emails
