Remember when you had to leave the house to buy things?

Unknown woman, as fresh as if she'd been painted yesterday: the pin (the pin!), the folds, but mostly the eyes. Rogier van der Weyden, 1440. Today is his day.

None of the books you losers are writing is gonna be as good as this

Cover of the day ⚾️

HAPPY PUB DAY TO DAWN POWELL and @ilanaslightly.bsky.social!

What this timeline needs are some good book covers

This fact always incenses ppl but it’s not the same as a staff writer and a news outlet, which is the parallel many make. Authors aren’t employed by publishers.

Cover of the day 😦

absolutely thrilled that FOOTBALL SISSY got a starred review!

Confirmed: a Mamdami sweep in my family

Caught myself humming Charlie in the MTA as we head into hour 6 in the terminal

REALLY BORED NOW

At the press conference after the MN shooting the police said they exchanged gunfire with the assassin & then he ran back into the house but this detail doesn’t seem to show up when I read about the manhunt?
