Elder child is reading Persepolis so now bedtime snuggles involve explaining what a theocracy is and “what’s Iraq’s deal in this again?”

'The quest for passive income is really the quest for a 'greater fool,' the economist's term for the person who relieves you of the useless crap you just overpaid for. It rots the mind, atomizes communities, shatters solidarity and breeds cynicism'

Yes! This. It feels like there's damn near a whole caucus of American politicians that now exist solely so they can make money off donations/talks/merch/TV/fame. Santos obviously the apotheosis of this, but he's not alone. And media enables it.

Some advice: Write wherever you can, make money however you can, there are no rules, there are barely any publications. Do good work you’re proud of and don’t focus how other people succeeded because just about zero paths in journalism are replicable.

Climbed into 8 year old’s bed for snuggle time and she’s got the Codex Seraphinianus spread open on her knees and is thoughtfully following her finger along the lines of text and I just have SO many questions.

Yep. This is how I ended up reading a lot of middle aged man airport novels (Noble House) and humorists in middle school. I wasn’t actually kicked out of the kids section. But there was nothing for me. YA was like Sweet Valley Twins and Goosebumps and that was it.
