I know I’ve fully embraced the Birkenstocks life because I needed to run an errand and looked down at the Danskos I left sitting by the front door and thought, for the grocery store??, who am I, Miranda Priestly??

Rest assured, at any given moment I am fucking infuriated & full of despair, and like recognizes like, because when the nurse was checking me in at my doctor's appointment last week, I said, "How's it going," and he said, "Living the dream," and I said, "OH NO," and he said, "Midwest cry for help."

I know this is extremely vulgar idealism, but I do think we should try to aggressively reassert the norm that lying is bad. Not in a "Four Pinnochios" fact-checking kind of way, but in a way that frames this kind of lying as moral degeneracy that is fundamentally corrosive to the human spirit.

This is such a weird little thing, but in the wake of the news that Skype is shuttering in May, I can't help but think about how @mollyolguin.bsky.social effectively got together over Skype. Like, we knew each other IRL, but then we were in different places and Skyping every week.

Writersky is talking about writers and ages again, so it bears repeating: there is no expiration date on writers except for death. Up until your last day, you can be writing, you can be published, you can be produced, you can sell. There's no "Too late." Only you can decide when your done.

Back in January I downloaded that app that externalizes self care by nurturing a little baby bird every time you cross something off a list. Today, I’m proud to announce, my baby bird reached probably the most important milestone it’s possible to reach.

One thing that I’ve learned in adulthood is that it really IS good to introduce people by including an interesting fact along with their name, like they say to do in Bridget Jones’ Diary.

Rewatched 1917 tonight and I will never know how anyone will ever be able to take in any (re)presentation of this era as anything other than antiwar, but also people will always see what they want to see, and that's what built The Pasithea Powder.

if your beans didn't soften while cooking it's not because you salted too early. it's not because you added too much acid. it's not because the beans are too old. it's because you're impure of heart and the beans Know

"This is a still from Charles Chaplin’s 1940 film, THE GREAT DICTATOR. It occurs at approximately the 1:59:32 mark. If our home releases and prints are different, the most important context for this essay is that we discuss the split second before Charles Chaplin speaks the film’s final speech."
