Said goodbye to the goodest girl today. Fifteen years of sniffing around and getting inexplicably excited about ice cubes. Go chase those rabbits, Ida bean.

Watched all of Adolescence in one sitting. Holy hell. Astounding work. I’ll be reflecting on this one for a WHILE.

The thing about A I (whether we call it autonomous or artificial or alternative or whatever) is that it is owned. There is a person or group at the root of everything A I produces, a person with goals and values that are so deeply concealed that commentators forget they’re there. But they are.

[watching anora] nobody in this movie would last two days at a conclave

Tagging @weratedogs.com to maybe help reunite this sweet boy with his family?

This is a long shot but anyone looking for a #lostdog around #garrison #minnesota

Re: the over-62 music grants— Is there a word for how, amid all the awful news, it’s the good news that opens the spigot of tears?

Beautiful.

I realized I make faces while I’m writing, basically acting out a character in a scene. Realized this AT the coffee shop. Mortifying.

I saw goodie proctor fuck your outie at the ORTBO

Was nobody going to tell me that Jason Isaacs is in the new season of White Lotus!? 🤩

Susanna Clarke. Take me on an adventure on the King’s Roads or drop me in the arms of one of Piranesi’s statues!

Getting fomo over that college/career meme going around not because I didn’t go to college but because I absolutely 100% did NOT have a career goal when I started college. People went to college with careers in mind?! Me: Yay more school! 😄

"Sir, thys ys an Abyss."

This is very cool! Bonus points for the phrase ‘a collaboration with time’ which absolutely did not have to go that hard.

me when any program's AI assistant asks me if I want help writing:

I joined a little five week social curling league and the first game last night made me feel like a kid playing outside on the pond again. When life gives you ice and darkness, make up silly games sliding rocks back and forth under the stars.

Graduate knowing less than when you started is too fucking real 😆😭

One rejection in —> One submission out. And even more importantly, more new words on the page.

Seeing 2024 out in a cocoon of Prosecco, half a chocolate orange, and Bath Haus by P.J. Vernon.

Without downloading new pics, what’s your energy going into 2025?

Really great reflections on the most important story a writer ever tells: the story of who they are as a writer.

Getting a rejection on a short story on Christmas Eve kinda sucks, but the personalized note of encouragement really lessened the sting. Once the New Years confetti settles I’ll dust it off and send it back out somewhere else and make it my first submission of 2025 😤

Animal Crossing: Poirot I’d play every playable second of it.

That’s a long time to leave all that candy trapped inside.

If you ever wanted a glimpse into the glamorous world of creative writing residencies…:

What a writing residency really looks like:

My family did “St. Nick” with no mention of the Krampus. I will be rectifying and reviving this tradition asap.

It’s been a few years since I read a Chuck Wendig blog and wow was it silly of me to ever stop! A solid pep-talk here, wrapped in a classsically chuckle-inducing package. Fuck ‘em, let’s write!

My kind of holiday tradition:

British novel: they died of sorrow. German novel: they died of despair. French novel: they died of heartbreak. Russian novel: they died of an axe to the head.

And that Insecurity Mountain is a doozy.

Last Christmas Ich gave thee my hearte But the very next daye ther came a wolf, Wyth sinews of whispers - quiet as frost, And the wolf stole my hearte, fled To a tower out of tyme biyonde all the stars. Seek now my hearte, Return it within a yeare and a daye: Thys ys thy queste!

Good morning! ☕️☺️

Favorite books from childhood? Mine: The Redwall series by Brian Jacques A book of Arthurian legends…no idea who it was edited/by The Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe (the biggest book in the school library, how could I resist!?) Contact by Carl Sagan Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

A perpetual tragedy tbh

Woke up to swirly falling snow - the fluffy Hallmark movie kind. Now I’m wondering who in this coffee shop is secretly an heiress longing to be loved for something other than her money or which guy is going to run into his high school crush that got away… Tis the season 🤭❄️

How I arrived at Bluesky;

It’s incredibly difficult to tell the difference between the kind of tiredness it’s worth pushing through and the kind I need to stop and listen to. Got it right today though! Tomorrow-me is going to really appreciate it.
