Neil Gaiman: That last post →
neil-gaiman:
People are asking if that last post was a joke.
I don’t think so.
But even if it was, it wasn’t. It’s nothing I haven’t seen before, many times, either as hate mail that came in on the FAQ line over at neilgaiman.com, or in other corners of the web — the saddest of which was a letter from a…
Neil Gaiman’s a class act, but you knew that.

Nobody told us what happened inside of the building across the street before my mother rented the house in the summer of 1983. Since we moved in over a weekend it was a few days before we found out that the small white building was an industrial bread bakery. As far as we were concerned, that…

“Please don’t do this. He’s his best friend.”
My mother was begging my father to not leave the house, to not take me with him and to not do what he said he was going to do when we got out there. I was waiting by the door in my blue and orange Mets jacket hoping that my mother would win this…

My wife and I hadn’t planned on waking up before dawn on a Sunday to run a 10K race but as the sun came up over Santa Monica on that October morning we were stretching our legs and looking for Lisa near the starting line. We did not see her face but somewhere among the thousands of runners she was…

thegirlblogger:
My nerves are raw, but reading these have made my emotions feel real, and knowing that despite my distance from the epicenter of this event, I am justified in my reaction, Lisa was an amazing woman who made this world better in actions and words.

Two weeks ago I found myself driving through my hometown at 7 AM looking for a place to get coffee. I pulled into the parking lot of a Dunkin’ Donuts and walked inside. It was Sunday and the line was shorter than I expected. I looked around for a newspaper but couldn’t find one so I walked up to…

Sentimental Accidents: Early Dismissal →

In a move that can best be described as “not completely thought out” my parents decided to have a baby while they were both still teenagers. When my mother was 16 and my father was 18 she got pregnant and they got married. My mother moved into my father’s room at his parent’s house and soon…
