Study break and sunset walk.

I'm sure there was an elegant way to do this. But I failed here.

You know you're really tired when even making a cup of tea feels like a challenge.

Just put the potato costume on and let me squirt ketchup on you. Don’t make this weird

INVENTOR OF THE LIBRARY: hey check this out

Dogs are still not impressed by sunsets

Dotting earl grey on all of my pulse points tonight. (seducing an Englishman)

Flailing mightily

at least we can all agree on "caramel"

This would all look a little more manageable if I'd had a breakfast burrito.

Monday you can fall apart Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart Oh, Thursday doesn't even start It's Friday, I'm in love

I’d give you my other walkie talkie

I did my first tempo run today and was supposed to use music to speed up and slow down but I was listening to an audio book. I used trees instead. There are some familiar trees, like The Bendy Tree, The Squirrel Tree, The Pepto Tree that are spaced about right. I think.

Being tall is nice because you can reach lots of things and also you can still be the bigger person while being petty af

Sooo...wanna go out for sandwiches?

Not every idea is worth airing. Not every point of view is worth hearing. Not everything that "a lot of people believe" should be credentialed by homepage space. Would the NYT editorial board run "Did Homosexuals Ruin Culture?" or "Did Black People Get Too Big for Their Britches?" I guess we'll see.

I've never entered a nook I didn't want to hang around in.

Sorry I dropped you during the trust fall, I was going through your phone.

Only minimally related. I just found out there are Headless Horseman themed romances and I feel like this is something I need to investigate. I'll report back... If I survive.

i am a big fan of anything that can be slathered

My dad's best friend, who he meet in college in Philadelphia, died of brain cancer, in the 80s. He told friends that he wanted to die with a hoagie in his mouth and was only half kidding. I don't know if they made his wish come true but I do know he'd take particular delight in the sandwich trial.

Thus far life has brought me far fewer makeover montages than expected

*This* is NYC, where I commuted to work for #publishers Simon & Schuster and Churchill Livingstone. 💗 For the newest cover of The New Yorker, Edel Rodriguez portrays Zohran #Mamdani, NYC’s incoming mayor, in the subway. Mamdani campaigned out and about in the city. www.newyorker.com/culture/cove...

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Snorting election results for energy this morning.

A storm is coming!

Remember when they said they need a Left Rogan for the “youth” Which youth?

Hate always has its moment. But love wins.

OK, California! Your turn! Polls close in 90 minutes.

Sorry we won & exacted vengeance, baby.

Sunset from the mountain

My ghost story draft doesn't have an ending. It might be destined to forever wander around the page, seen only occasionally as a vague outline.

Well that’s a nice wake up surprise! This piece I wrote for @zocalopublicsquare.bsky.social is a finalist for a Los Angeles Press Club National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Award! www.zocalopublicsquare.org/romance-genr...

Anything interesting happening today in NYC?

The temptation to lie down and do a snow angel here is strong

Morning sun

I gotta get back to writing bigfoot erotica

We kissed until our reading glasses clacked together and started pressing into my nose. While it was tempting, being the owner of at least a dozen glasses, to simply toss them onto the kitchen floor, I did not. These are the ones Oprah recommended and they have a nice, grey tortoiseshell design.

Mentally I'm here

Greetings from the East Branch of the Brandywine creek

Today's walk/run was on the old gold miners' canal path and was filled with happy dogs and people

They're serious about not parking here

The ratio of "Yes" on Prop 50 to "No" signs on the morning's walk through town is about 40 to 1.

As I walk down the street it’s hard to tell who is hungover & who is merely gutted by the Bake-Off semi-final.

Wait so long to do laundry that you rediscover an entire wardrobe you forgot you owned.

If you want to make Gen Alpha kids laugh, just find random ways to work the numbers six and seven into conversation. “We’re gonna leave here in about six or seven minutes.” “Divide your Halloween candy into sixths or sevenths.” Easiest laugh ever.

Just mailed in my ballot (yes vote on Prop 50!) and feeling very patriotic right now. 🇺🇸
