Retired from my desk job, I’ve been reading old work, updating shit, preparing for god knows what. Rereading this short story published in 2016 by Curiosity Never Killed the Writer, I thought: “This is the best thing you’ve ever written about America.”

“The defense of wilderness…permitted making a positive case—they could be for something rather than merely against amorphous forces…(It) represented the broader struggle to maintain intangibles against the pressure of utilitarian demands”*
Roderick Frazier Nash on Hetch Hetchy
I think about Gravity’s Rainbow more than other books I’ve read. It’s full of obscenities. It’s gargantuan and ridiculous. But it goes places I’ve never been in literature. A phantasmagoria turned inside out, the effects of which are profound.

Spent the day in East Bay Area, pleasant Mediterranean climate. Noticed: outlying farms, orchards, universities, bridges, trails, parks, libraries. By sunset I was back in the granite cliffs & pines & aspen of the Sierra. Rightwing hysteria about California is delusional at best.
Dusk along the Sierra Front as seen from my son’s soccer game at Carson High School last night. The huge, overarching, obliterating twilights of this region have been breaking my heart since I was a kid.
Interesting economic report on Trump’s anti-immigration policies. I’ve found some version of the American Dream still alive in immigrant circles, not so much in rightwing circles where finding scapegoats for fear and misery seems the predominant concern

One challenge of modernity: how to devote time to the people/places you love, activities/art you like, that deep time & inner appreciation, while outwardly society infernally shreds any semblance of life into commercials, scams and wars 😀

Three years ago today, Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups deliberately targeted civilians in Israel, killing hundreds, abducting dozens and holding hostages in Gaza. They committed war crimes and crimes against humanity including murder, extermination, enforced disappearances, sexual violence, torture, and other horrific rights violations.
In response, Israel began a relentless and brutal military assault in Gaza killing tens of thousands, many through direct or deliberately indiscriminate attacks, leveling entire cities and destroying critical infrastructure, tightening its illegal blockade and severely restricting access to energy, food, water and medicine, imposing conditions leading to starvation and disease. Among many other grave international crimes, Israel's actions amount to an ongoing genocide.
Governments must do everything in their power to stop the genocide, to ensure that victims of all crimes in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory receive justice, and to hold all perpetrators accountable.

I wrote about John McPhee's nature writing. And about slowness, detail, and a kind of literary journalism that is disappearing along with the natural world it describes.

Bonjour, friends! New microprose is up among The Itch Prize Winners! Publication #410 overall!🥳
My spouse has successfully turned me on to Arena Hash, Peruvian new wave. Good track here. I’m told “Y Es Que Sucede Asi” translates to “And It Happens Like That.”

sequel to the ritual, it follows that:
the body becomes the god, the god becomes the boy &
the boy becomes the night.

Harrowing long-form journalism, clear-eyed, multi-sourced, devastating.
For more than two months, I have been working on a truly horrific story about one of the gravest war crimes committed by the United States since Vietnam: The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. It was one of the first targets struck in the opening hours of the war on February 28, 2026.
At least 156 people were killed in the U.S. cruise missile strikes—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. We spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day.
It would be impossible to do justice to what happened in Minab that day with words alone. In more than 25 years in journalism and reporting on war, I do not believe I have reported on a more heinous single crime.
