All of you have seen cave art, right? Either sketches or photos in books or online. If you're really lucky, maybe you've been in a cave yourself with a flashlight or something. But is it possible that the way we look at cave art today hides a key aspect of the art? 🧵

Ten years ago I met a man in his 70s on a train in Kerala. When I asked if he minded travelling alone he replied: “I’m not alone, I’m by myself.” I always remember this when I’m eating out by myself or do anything without companions. It changes everything.

This, by Mary Robinette Kowal, is very good. Sometimes extended writer's block is linked to depression. Sometimes it can also be linked to life circumstances in ways that are not readily apparent, and that don't seem like they should affect your writing. https://t.co/1MCV0F5Ovd

A 92 year-old nun died today in a Carmelite Monastery in Illinois. She was kind of an unusual nun. She didn’t sing very well. She was frequently late to her required duties around the convent. She threw sticks for the communal dogs which was not allowed. Also she was my mother.
