We've been hearing a lot about Nosferatu lately with the new remake having just come out. If you've been checking out the 1920s original film, you may also enjoy The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, arguably the first ever horror film! red-pens-and-playwriting.ghost.io/literary-fir... #Horror #HorrorFilms

The real answer is neither. Those are their hands. And the flappy things up by their shoulders are their ears. Trust me, I did bology in school.

If you're looking to transition your cat to indoor-only due to H1N1, great! There are many other benefits, too. But it may not go well if you just shut them in and call it a day, you need to commit to giving them an enriched indoor environment with lots of play. felineengineering.com/blog/indoor-...

Listen. This is important. There’s measles going around. Measles is the one and only thing (that we know of) that can erase your immune memory. It causes immune amnesia. You have to rebuild all your immunity. Go to your doc and get your measles antibodies checked. You do not want immune amnesia.

Sometimes I look at my writing friends and think god, they're so smart. The way they see the world and how they filter that into beautiful art that throw challenge back into the world makes me so damn proud to know them. If I could write something half as good as them, I'll be happy.

If you want to stand up to fascists, wear a mask. It’s one of the simplest and easiest things you can do to resist. It protects your health, while also protecting disabled and marginalized people who are in grave danger from fascist policies.

Such a great concept. No need to set a minimum wage. Just make the maximum wage for any company a multiple of whatever they pay their entry-level workers. If CEOs want more money, they have to pay their people more.

One of the core beliefs I've adopted in the last few years is that we generally underrate how goofy and stupid the American past was and that being attentive to that helps us see continuities with the present. It's actually not obvious we live in dumber times. Every day tests this belief anew.

This! If you can switch from Whole Foods to a different grocery store and buy your books from bookshop.org instead of Amazon, that’s still a big step even if you feel tied to Amazon for other items. If everyone divested 30% that’s more than if a few people divest 100%.

A good partner does not have to share all your hobbies, but they are the person who loves your enthusiasm, who encourages your niche passions even when they don’t understand them. Their greatest joy is watching you do what brings you joy.

You can learn A LOT from other people's experiences with writing and what did work for them. It often times introduces ideas that you wouldn't have & and can help you out of a bind. You're not any less of a writer if their advice doesn't work for you. You're not any less of a writer if it does.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #103876: Never worry about whether what you write "matters." It matters because you do. And one day, someone else may read it and understand that they matter, too. This is how we build a world, one connection at a time.

If you need to write a section because it’s necessary for the plot, and you can’t figure out a way to make it good or interesting, just make it short. Best case, you make it better in another draft. Worst case, you’ve kept the necessary but uninteresting bit short enough to not annoy the reader.
