This week I finally met Brilliant Novelist and Friend of The Toast Celeste Ng! We met and hugged and had a long lunch and talked about
everything

The Bartender has given birth to a brand-new baby (artist's depiction above), so we thought we'd give her the week off. CONGRATULATIONS, The Bartender!
The following propositions will be discussed at Wittenberg, under the presidency of the Reverend Father Martin Luther, Lecturer in Ordinary at that place. Wherefore he requests that those who are unable to be present and debate orally with us, may do so by letter.
