Grateful to share that I am a @NewAmerica Us@250 fellow for 2024-2025. I’ll be working on a story about @FoundryField, a ballpark and communal art project that amplifies history, creates new space for play, and both expands and complicates understandings of our national pastime.

Nah. I, and about every writer I know, love em dashes. We learn to edit against them in revision. If AI is overusing them it’s because it was trained on the pirated writing of many real human beings for whom the em dash is instinctual, artful, considered, and not always logical.
LindyMan@PaulSkallas

A shortcut for detecting if something is written with AI is they all use this symbol "—" throughout the writing. It's relatively rare when a human uses it, maybe once or twice, if that. But AI chats love using it. No clue why.

I can’t explain it but being a writer is sorta like that Seinfeld episode where Kramer studies how people shower

As you may have heard, most (not all) of the people who produce Outside magazine (and the website) were laid off on Thursday. The ex-ME has a complete archive of issues going all the way back to the 1970s. If anybody knows of a library that might want to house these, lemme know.

This is the first piece of a book project I'm working on about Timothy MacCarry, a Catholic anti-war protester who died under mysterious circumstances in 1971 at the age of 22. It is, I think, a timely story. I hope you will read it and share it widely. therevealer.org/against-war-th…

Those who come here risking life and limb to harvest the food that appears on American tables or to rebuild American cities after disasters should have as much claim to being American as any of us born into it do.
