Read the long NY Mag piece on the allegations against Neil Gaiman this morning for some reason. Feeling a bit sick now. To peel back a veneer of kindness and find there is darkness and pain and violence underneath. Cruelty. It’s a bit exhausting sometimes.

Conversations about 'scale' have always rubbed me the wrong way because it sounds like business-school and VC speak. And how the heck do you know as an individual? the answer is that you actually don't know. Do what you can to lessen suffering in the ways that you can. That's all.

I will NEVER stop being upset about Gladwell’s 10,000-hour rule, glorifying empty hustle culture, drawn from a study of the best conservatory violinists in a population, but Gladwell CONVENIENTLY NEGLECTS TO MENTION THAT THE MOST SUCCESSFUL VIOLINISTS ALSO SLEPT THE MOST BY A SIGNIFICANT MARGIN

Feel on the verge of tears. Seems like the wrong time of month for it. Do I investigate my emotional landscape? Watch something that will make me cry? Something that will make me laugh? Go back to bed? Stay scrolling on my phone with this inexplicable knot in my stomach?

Why is being a person so complicated? On Tuesday I had to hide in the loo to get away from too many people because I hadn’t had a minute of peace and today I am at home alone feeling like I just want someone here with me.

I don't make resolutions, ever since I discovered the two perfect ones years ago: 1. Become a more terrifying version of yourself. 2. Do what you already do, but more so.

I'm fascinated by the new-age belief that the autism spectrum is caused by aliens seeding the earth with higher-level souls, because of the implication that some of these mystical, advanced souls arrived on Earth and immediately abandoned their mission in favor of getting really into Digimon

One of my 2025 aspirations is to become a Sandi Toksvig caliber hugger. I mean I hate being touched by strangers but if I am going to hug people at all, let it never be some wet noodle nonsense. Let me be a firm but gentle beacon in this world.

You're telling me that Margo Martindale and Wayne Knight were once partners on a team of character actors who moonlit as private investigators to supplement film/tv income by busting bad guys with their acting skills and this has never been adapted into the longest-running show on NBC?

Do y’all know the movie Say Anything? There’s a part where her dad is like “why do you even like this loser” and she tells him about this moment on their first date where Lloyd points out some broken glass on the street for her to avoid when they’re walking.
