MY GOD

Five more zaps and this year from hell is ending

This is one of the best books I have ever read in my life. My god, Maralyn and Maurice are going to live in my head forever. Congrats Sophie Elmhirst you’ve written a gorgeous book

The thing about working in an archive is when you watch a tv show and they are wearing gloves while handling documents (that's a no) but not when they are handling photographs (which they should be) and then you just complain about it until your husband gets annoyed

I would have sworn on my life that is Jason Issacs playing Santiago in Interview with a Vampire and it is decidedly not lol

Hollywood…call me

No joke but I have watched Amadeus about a thousand times

Next up

My husband and I have a two person book club 🖤

Wait is pinocchio like....frankenstein for kids?

Listen if you're a government worker and you're not getting paid, don't work. Let it all grind to a halt. Show them how capitalism works

Obviously Florence's new album is amazing but is it possible that Sympathy Magic is the best song she's ever written?

okay I'm in

To the youths of New York City For the love of all that is holy sitting on the subway steps is a CARDINAL SIN. Elderly people and people with disabilities need the handrail. I'm not fucking kidding with you right now. GET UP

Is anyone watching Invasion? I started it before Halloween Times but then haven't gone back. I can't decide if it's worth my very small amount of viewing time (mostly just weekends)

Also this story is going to live rent free in my head for the rest of my life

i just read Kaleidoscope by Ray Bradbury. Guys other than Something Wicked This Way Comes I've never read Bradbury before. I feel like my life is about to change for the better

You know I'm really glad I'm in an okay place with my grief cause like 90% of horror movies are about that

I love this

SEVEN!

Inside us there are two wolves

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Things that make me happy right now: Only 8 more radiation zaps left Got another 1500 words down today My husband & I are doing a very cute two person book club reading Interview with the Vampire and we chat about it on the couch each night Mamdani won Kayla won I am loved

I am 8 radiations away from being done. EIGHT!!!! I will still have to go for injections every three weeks until June, but this daily/weekly grind that has been going on since June is finally finally finally winding down. I'm getting myself a present when it's done

This bonkers interpretation of what happened yesterday is "cute" to say the least 🤪 Yes Mike. The people are frustrated. They expressed it by voting blue

Also my neighborhood, which in the past has skewed VERY republican, went blue! And we elected our first woman city council member! Congrats Kayla!

NEW YORK CITY I LOVE MY TOWN

That feeling when you didn't get to all the horror you wanted to see in the two months of watching but you promised your husband you watch LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE

Great chat! Love anything with @allymalinenko.bsky.social!

1500+ words today in the monster book. Felt good to write

If you use AI I want you to know that for the rest of my life I'm going to hope you never ever ever find the cool side of the pillow again

Boosting!

I swear this is the only thing I'll tell you about it because spoilers but as you know Fox replaced Eric Stolz in the movie & when they told Christopher Lloyd that Eric was leaving he was like "who is Eric" because Stolz is a METHOD ACTOR and insisted everyone call him Marty lol

I’m so excited

So many historical documents are going to be lost to future researchers cause they can't read script and it's a damn shame

If Clayface becomes my mayor I'm gonna be so mad

It is not even 10 am and I have voted, been radiated, and cried

some patron just told me I have the perfect sexy librarian voice and did they send me to a school to learn to talk like this so I'm just gonna go home now

🖤🖤🖤

“In analysis you work to turn the ghosts that haunt you into ancestors who accompany you.” - Bruce Springsteen Born To Run My god this book hit so hard

I haven’t heard the audio but I’m so glad people like it

In BANGOR 😭😭😭😭

And I wept through the whole thing. John Candy was everything

In Bangor 😭😭😭

I Like Me has been on for five seconds and I’m already crying

Writer pals, as we venture into “best of” list season, remember to focus on your other accomplishments. That new draft, the books you’ve read to hone your craft… Maybe the new thing you’re doing outside of writing (these are so important!) Zero in on what you can control, and keep your head up. ❤️

Great job, everyone, we did it again

I’m on NPR!!

Sweet dreams Halloween people

Now it’s Halloween!
