My local Indian grocer (I’m in Toronto) airfreights Alphonso mangoes in season. The smell on the street is a delight.

Alan Cumming explains why trans people are like superheroes

Grew up in the 60s/70s, hate that this word is in my brain. (Along with many other slurs that were common currency at the time.)

How far back in time can you understand English? An experiment in language change

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.

I actually do have a copy of Chainmail hanging around somewhere…

We’re All Minnesotans Now Let the North Star State give us direction.
