The best thing I ever read about about "the pursuit of happiness," and it was so long ago that I can't remember who wrote it or where, was that we should read "pursuit" not as "chase," but as in "the pursuit of beekeeping"--happiness as a hobby we devote our selves to.
my hot take is that “the pursuit of happiness” is toxic and lets capitalists get away with not providing basic social welfare, so instead they attempt to sell happiness, when “happiness” is not a static state, but a side effect of self-actualization

Answer to my question.
We’re asking readers to not engage in any @nytimes platforms tomorrow and stand with us on the digital picket line! Read local news. Listen to public radio. Make something from a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak.

Well, it’s true. I DO want you to think about (fictional) AI.

Wanted to put a quick clarification out here re: the Book Shimmy Awards! -These *are* run by EpicReads, which is part of Harper teen marketing. Everyone creating content for ER right now is either middle management or a scab.

And now I’m also @ ProfessorEmily on Hive!
I’m @emilylauer@wandering.shop on Mastodon but have yet to say anything over there, I’m @PlantsForEmily on Instagram (it’s just plants), and my author page on WWAC is https://t.co/5RuoifGNDl and that’s where most of my writing is! I’m also still here.

As I highlighted in my blog anniversary series a couple weeks back, this has been by far the best year to date for Guest Posts--nearly 10 now in 2022 alone! & I'd love to share another couple before the year is done! https://t.co/QXGPYZiiLC

Looking for a gift? My book A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching is 25% off on https://t.co/6TR5tMvBdd if you use code CYBER22, and it fits in a stocking (that's my stocking)! https://t.co/b5sI9AofUl Don't make the same mistake this year and try to put actual pigeons in stockings.

Many of mine involve teaching in rooms where giant pillars obscure my view of much of the class

“The very bird, / grown taller as he sings, steels / his form straight up. Though he is captive, / his mighty singing / says, satisfaction is a lowly / thing, how pure a thing is joy. / This is mortality, / this is eternity.” Marianne Moore, born 135 years ago today.

is it possible that the fact that twitter is being slowly sucked into a black hole is prolonging election night

Also definitely come follow me on Mastadon or Insta if you wanna hear about my GIANT NEW PROJECT, which I'm even now on a plane to record. Or rather, to be in studio. I'm not acting. Or singing. But there are actors, singers, and a big damn epic poem. It's a musical. 🤗
