  1. A dying father. A ten-year silence. A son returns to find nothing has changed. No forgiveness. No reconciliation. Just the quiet choice to walk away. A flash fiction about estrangement.

  2. Wow. There's nothing quite like seeing one's own life situation captured so precisely in words. I'm only a chapter or so in, but wow.

    (and a little encouraging, since I seem to be handling things in the recommended ways, for what it's worth🤞🏼💔)

  7. Is anyone here reading what might be called 'dhammic literature', meaning literary fiction that explores dhamma-related themes - the human condition, suffering, happiness, perception.

    In particular I am interested in conversations about the New Weird and how it 'estranges' us from habituated perception. Also looking for reading recommendations.

  12. "All the parts about me that I hate the most, I got from you. All the parts I love the most, too. The romanticism, the love of history, a deep attunement to emotion, movies, and music. My teary-eyed, lachrymose nature. My love of journalism and photography." —J.Y. Lee for Off Assignment

  17. A flying visit: Palaver, by Bryan Washington, reviewed

    I’ve never been to Tokyo, but sometimes I wonder: why bother with the plane ticket? The imagined Tokyo is more real than the actual city. For westerners, it is a place whose USP is its unreality: its irreducible strangeness, its intense Japaneseness. It’s a city where lonely…

  21. My mother will never meet this baby. Depending on how hard my father tries to belittle, guilt, insult, cajole, or bribe me, he may not either.

    The idea of paraphrasing this quote (Andor season 2) is my husband's, for when I tell my father in my third trimester:

    "You want Syril in your life, you will think before you speak...I will guarantee a level of engagement, but it will be inversely proportional to the volume of anxiety you generate in our lives.”

  23. Familial estrangement is not a new phenomenon. It just looked different with our own parents and their parents; In my own experience, it's very common for adults my mothers and fathers age (50's) to not see their parents except on holidays like Christmas, they don't call or message their parents every day, or even every week, they often live far from their parents as well. That is how their generation has decided to distance and deal with their own trauma...

  29. We use AI to think less. Cogitation is costly; so:
    • the more we use AI,
    • the more we offload processing,
    • the less we ponder,
    • the shallower our thinking becomes.

  34. Watching Star Wars 4 and the scene where Emperor Palpatine (Darth Sidious) tells Luke "Strike down your father and your journey to the dark side will be complete," and I immediately thought of my ex and her kids. 🤣🤣🤣
