idk why i've been avoiding it but I just absentmindedly sat and wrote for like four straight hours and now i feel like a completely different, refreshed person!

sitting at my desk to write for the first time, definitely all year. forever connected by the feet to this beast who continues to follow me from one room of our apt to another #amwriting

while i knew @barrelhouse.bsky.social was open for nonfiction subs all of June, it took my dumb ass the entire month to sit down and write, and miss the subs deadline by two days. the actual good news is i just finished a draft of a new essay i've been threatening to write for over a year!!

All day today @wxpnfm.bsky.social is playing music from the year 1976. Have a listen XPN.org

put off going out into the heat all day. i finally get out, and as i exit my building at the threshold! a woman on the phone absentmindedly steps in dog (?) puke as i step into the heat. you guys, its too hot for this.

the book cataloging project is humming along. two more shelves of fiction to go, then the poetry bookcase. 412 books and counting. got me a chuckle out of Kaufman’s Antkind ☕️ 🎥

if you want to know what its like out there: since early March i've applied to 90 jobs. i've received 22 rejections and 4 interviews that went nowhere. the last recruiter that reached out...before the interview I had to take an AI personality test, which I guess I failed bc I didn't even interview

i also keep a running list of dialog and word pairings that catch my eye. alas i am not a published poet so it will not see the light of day as a "novel." which this is only bc they tell us it is. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

TiL the shitty boss at my former, toxic job—who was an ass to me and had shady behavior—was fired for sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. i would like to remind you all: trust no one!!! especially a man in charge

tried my hand at @bradlander.bsky.social’s fizzy coffee and made cold brew w plain seltzer. it was less majestic than i expected. i need to know your recipe!! plz release the deetz ☕️❤️

and it’s about to get even hotter! 🍋 🍋‍🟩

all the ways the cat woke me up this week: -slipping on the magazines on my nightstand -slipping on my pillow & falling onto my face (today!) -big stretching up the wall and screeching his nails (yesterday 😑) -sitting on my uterus -and the tried and trusted standby: screaming

kitty report from the yellow chair

doing a huge book cataloging project for our renters insurance and the boi has decided to help. books will be sniffed and whiffed

My issue with virtually all straight women discourse is that it presupposes that straight women are facing some unique issue when in fact all women of all orientations are policed and mocked for our sexualities

take me to the movies. nothing else will do letterboxd.com/sarahpaol/fi...

biiiiiiiig weekend plans

tired: drug testing wired: testing drugs

met these little ones (and their beans) last night at the kitty clinic. there is pureness in the world still and it is kittens 🫘

idiot report from a weekend w my family: my sister (attorney) asked me who bari weiss is and then cont'd to complain when i didn't listen to a podcast she rec'd bc "its a great way to get news." later her husband, who owns and runs a food business, (and is a father of two) asked me how to meal plan

“Cup of what?” on loop in my brain as i continue to exist as a tax paying new yorker who does not give a flying fuck

you have to find out when you get here that adulthood is actually just this, every day forever and ever lol

ROMANTIC LOVE WAS INVENTED TO MANIPULATE WOMEN

watched my eight year old niece brush her teeth with this today and lol what!

why does my sister have this many raisins?

💔💔💔

you guys its my birthday its also too hot now which means summer is here and the year is about half over!!!! 😳 youtu.be/XkGigEMADIc?...

today is my birthday and what i really want is for our air conditioning to start functioning and go below 72 degrees. thanks!!!!!!! send cooling vibes!!!!

ACAV

the single biggest takeaway i have from this interview is that on top of being profoundly incompetent, bari weiss and her flunkies at CBS are genuinely terrible human beings. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/m...

new thing is sitting in the middle. he’s moosh in the middle

lolololol not Jim McGuinn playing The Godfather theme on @wxpnfm.bsky.social Highs in the 70s 📻 📻 here’s hoping he goes deeper than Stayin Alive during this movie set xpn.org/wxpn-playlis...

RIP Marjane Satrapi

#vinyl spotted at Record City on Fenimore yesterday

sunday morning vibe check

none of you heard me the first time: please tell me how stupid Backrooms is!!!! I'm reading spoilers, I'm reading LB reviews, everyone is going to see it but apparently no one on this website is!!! please! tell meeeeeee

CBS just dismantled the most important and popular news show in the history of television at the behest of a president who regularly sics the FBI on his critics. Here’s why some NYU kids complaining about Jonathan Haidt represents the greatest threat to free speech that our country faces.

desperately need to know just how stupid Backrooms is. but not enough to go see it. waiting on Emily (no, not you!!!!) and Colleen to go see it bc as soon as their reviews hit my feed, i'll know!!!!!

today i was in a coffee shop and it was like being IN instagram. smooth brain design. people have lost all individuality, even the ones “in charge.” the monoculture is boring and lazy in every way. get. a. personality!!!!!

love to find a small piece of reality while perusing a local bookstore

Reminder

overheard in the park: “remember when you went to a sex party the night before you moved to LA?”

ty @themattmcd.bsky.social for alerting me to this bc i desperately love Wayne’s World and think MM is a genius. HBD, Mike boxd.it/evGo71

our rainy three day weekend movie programming started w revisiting One Battle (after reading Vineland ofc) and continued last night w Alex Ross Perry’s Videoheaven. what will today bring?! boxd.it/evmeJ5

I love that we as a culture were just like, "Fran Lebowitz is great. Let's do it again."
