The hot gossip in my Vermont town is that a donkey got loose, and people are making jokes on the Facebook post, and the donkey owner is not happy.

The larger-than-life Dr. Delshad, who’s “reshaped her fate” with scalpels, silicone, and syringes, insists her crimes are victimless. She sees herself as a martyr who’s been “beatified for beautifying.” Read "In Pursuit of Beauty" by Gary Baum stat! www.dailynews.com/2025/06/26/c...

I won first place at the LA Press Club awards tonight! Thank you so much, I’m honored 🥰

Oh hey look! It’s my cute lil audiobook narrating sister! www.dailynews.com/2025/06/17/h...

What has Chat GPT done to poor Thelma & Louise?!

Every single video giving a pool noodle hack tutorial makes me irrationally angry.

Thrilled to be a finalist for SoCal Journalism Awards in the Editorial category!! Thanks so much, LA Press Club! Special thanks to @noahmichelson.bsky.social for being such a pleasure to work with on this! www.huffpost.com/entry/la-tim...

I just ate shit at the puppy hotel, like fell, splayed out on the floor and the girl who worked there was Australian and said “OH NARRR!!”

Benny Blanco becoming the good guy relationship guru was not on my 2025 bingo card, but that’s cool…

I met Jelly Roll today ❤️❤️❤️

“There's no normal life Wyatt, It's just life. Get on with it.” —Doc Holliday. RIP Val Kilmer. ❤️ You were a real one.

@pedrobot2000.bsky.social what’s up? 😁

When someone asks why you’re not drinking tonight.

Sundays are for martinis and zine making

Does everyone’s desk look like this or just mine?

Penny (10) has already written 43 pages of her novel ("front and back!") and there's been a dramatic breakup and a kidnapping. I am, once again, starting from scratch and only on page 6. I think she might publish hers before I publish mine.

why are you soulless little brunchlords trying to hack and shortcut fun things like creative writing? go make yourselves actually productive and fix airline customer service or doing your taxes

Happy 1st Birthday to Miley Cyrus. This year she learned to heel, sit & shake. She ate 2 of my fancy pillows, one pair of Gucci glasses, one pair of Ugg slippers & 10 of my books. She greets me each day by standing up, hugging me and licking my face. We love her so much ❤️

New celebrity crush just dropped: Yura Borisov, sighhh, what a cutie. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnTW...

My whimsical life hack: I write my name and future accomplishments on a piece of paper and plant them in my houseplants. When I tend to the plants, I feel like I’m nurturing my goals.

Harriet the Spy was everything to me when I was young. She planted the writer seed in my brain and I remember buying a belt from a thrift shop and sewing pouches on it to keep a notebook, binoculars and other spy gear. 💔 www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMeA...

RIP Michelle Trachtenberg. Ugh this is so sad. 💔

I think there are legitimate use cases for these tools (think automation) but the one thing they cannot and will never be able to do is replace what happens in a human brain in that moment of crisis. truly insane that we're pushing an entire generation to forget how to think

all modern society is built around preventing anyone from ever feeling uncomfortable for even one second, and unfortunately that small moment of crisis is the place where all innovation happens

“I really want young people to come into this book and understand that if something doesn’t feel right to you, investigate. . . and if something feels like it can be changed for the greater good, follow that instinct.” - Jamia Wilson www.ocregister.com/2025/02/19/m...

She started grooming ChatGPT for kinky role play. This is fascinating: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/p...

The 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live is tomorrow night, so I'm sharing my favorite sketch of all time. Ryan Gosling and Vanessa Bayer fully commit in this sketch that's like Natural Born Killers meets Elf. Perfection. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ckrp...

I have reached the stage in life where I just want to eat soup, watch documentaries, read the Sunday paper, soak in the bath with a glass of bubbly, tear through books, hang with my honey and take walks to admire pretty trees. That's it.

Loved this one: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/p...

I had to borrow an old car with only a CD player for a long road trip recently and did myself the favor of relistening to Michael Chabon’s The Yiddish Policeman’s Union as performed by Peter Riegert. Got it from my library. Best audiobook performance I’ve ever heard, just an absolute pleasure.

Her memoir and Moira Donegan’s review of it in Bookforum are very painful and pertinent www.bookforum.com/culture/disp...

We are all witnessing a clobbering.

This was such a good listen: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/p...

I just realized the husband in A Woman Under the Influence (Peter Falk) is also the grandpa in The Princess Bride and 🤯🤯🤯

I did not have Jeremy Strong covered in coffee grinds on my Grammys bingo card.

Immaculate writing vibes tonight. 🚬🍸✍️

I read this in one sitting last night. My GOD this poor couple is MESSY. Riveting though. . . 👌🚬👙

I have the cutest husband in the whole world.

Real people need real help right now. Who knows how long it will take insurance to come through. My sister lives in Altadena, and even though she’s ok, a lot of people aren’t. This is my sister’s gym, they are good people trying to help folks who have lost everything. gofund.me/51781648

think i just solved a paradox. the trick is to have another cat open the box.

Can someone make a starter pack for baddie journos and authors? 🚬❤️🍸
