Where is Nightbitch showing? Loved the book, looked forward to seeing it but it's nowhere in Tampa. Why such limited release? Grrrrr!

My favorite piece of art at Art Basel in Miami. The First Reading by Frida Orupabo.

A bit late for this one, but what an eerie and timely read.

I was going to say a weekend palate cleanser but it is so much more. Like a full body, mind and soul scrub.

I desperately need a word for this: delusional hope that you will get away with deliberate inaction when you know it will catch up with you, like being too lazy to serve your kid a drink after giving them a snack, knowing they will ask for it once you sit down. (I swear my kid is well hydrated.)

First day on Bluesky, it's nice over here.
