The type of note I leave for myself in a proofread. As you can see, I'm doing the important work here. The crucial fine-tuning. Sometimes, in other books, the notes aren't recent, and I've gotten pretty darn grumpy with my future self.

This fund for an elementary school in Thailand to fix damage caused by the earthquake has stalled out at 50%. Would love to see the needle start moving again. This is by my relatives so it's definitely for real. I know it's a rough time to give, but please repost.❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/rebuild-ph...

If you like quick romance reads, my "Dating a Demigod" series novella "Amusing a Demigod" is currently FREE! FREEEEEE! A muse, who's been exploited for her powers, meets the demigod of logic while she's in hiding. FWIW, it contains a drawing of a Corgi. #Booksky #Ad www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

I got my kids a Bob Ross bobblehead that talks, but everything he says sounds like found footage after a fan abducted Bob and made him paint if he wanted to live. Or maybe like they're broadcasting just the audio for his show over a fast food speaker because, once again, he's been abducted.

[P] Unfortunately, the executive producer of the Vatican just appointed himself the new pope.

Help and then yell like hell. I didn’t sign up to be a bad guy.

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

Oh, my humor is going to be bleak going forward because I really laughed at this.

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

I respect that for lent you're going to fast but I'm going with furious

Remember your carbon monoxide detectors. If you "keep smelling gas" or "I always feel whoozy when I come by this one spot" call the gas company. I called once, apologized b/c it was probably in my head, the guy tested the area, then an entire swarm descended on us because we had a gas leak.

On Chanukah, we’re supposed to “publicize the miracle.” My husband definitely got the memo on that one.

My mom got all her kids dried apples with cinnamon sprinkled for Christmas and they're amazingly delicious. It feels very old-timey that we've all been raving about the dried apples. "Dearest mother, we're grateful for the gift of apples at this yuletide and will treasure them forever."

BELIEVE ME WE’RE AWARE

I feel like people who voted in the leopards-eating-our-faces party are in for a lot of shock when the leopards come for them too. I wish we didn't have to live their regret.

I really enjoyed this one 💙📚

No one told me how much of parenting would be just ensuring your kids need less therapy than if they'd been raised by wolves.

PSA: You don’t have to be good at something to enjoy it. You can learn to separate skill from value and talent from joy.

Touché

Republicans seem jealous that they didn't replace their old man nominee with someone younger and more energetic. So they're pretending they did, by putting JD Vance out there instead. He is weird, but he can talk, which is better than the alternative. www.salon.com/2024/08/12/c...

He found a dead bear cub (WHAT?!) and originally planned to skin (WHAT?!) and eat it (WHAT?!) but went to Peter Luger’s and left it rotting in his car (WHAT?!) then took it to Central Park (WHAT?!) and staged it like a cyclist killed it (WHAT?!?!) to protest bike lanes (WHAT?!?!)

Tim Walz talked about how free school lunch reduces the unequal burden of domestic labor on women by removing one daily chore, and I immediately set up a recurring donation.

I think about this a lot actually.
