@jkachmar.com and i are watching the sonic movies and every time we're like ENOUGH of this slop lets turn it off!!!, jim carrey robotnik comes on screen and we're like. okay. another fifteen minutes.

i’ve played enough jrpgs to know how this goes. a village boy, his hometown love, a mysterious wizard, and a talking animal are going to band together and battle the ceo of palantir at the end of the world

ARC IMMEDIATELY DISTRIBUTED I wasn’t kidding lol

ok, appx 12-1:30pm today i will be hanging out in this general area near the 7 stop, a block away from javits. i will have one(1) ARC of sublimation with me, to be given to whoever "wants it most" or "finds me first," idk. also you can just come say hi regular style lol

what if I just loiter outside the javits center today while bookcon is happening. No I don’t have a ticket. If you find me outside I’ll give you an ARC or a firm handshake. Whichever you want. Ok I’m sort of convincing myself to do this bc it would be funny lol

Successful hummus creation

making chickpeas in the instant cooker purely on vibes and cobbling together advice from like four different blogs. itll probably be fine.

not to spoil a fantastic article but i used to live next to the restaurant with the best free bread in america and they would have tables out on the sidewalks and i would fantasize about grabbing a basket of bread and fucking booking it every time i walked past. its pretty good bread.

this post brought to you by the concealer i like being THIRTY DOLLARS

does anyone want a girlslop pinktax essay about how i feel like i, 30, have to buy and wear makeup and some nicer clothes for all my Author Public Appearances but if i were some 30 yr old dude i could just show up in jeans and a t shirt and no one would give a shit?

bought clothes online and every single piece fit I never lose

copped an arc from @goastromo.bsky.social !! feat. my vases hehe

that’s why you can’t sleep. You’re always on that damn gong.

reflecting on how i managed to marry "someone from my hometown," "someone from the internet," and "someone i met at a party" in a sort of quantum superposition. (we're both originally from the same area but met at a party as adults, and proceeded to mostly talk online for like 4 months)

locking in and editmaxxing for the next hour

i would like to thank SFBC for this incredible honor that truly, i could never have dreamed of winning. never would i have expected to be worthy of this award. (go read their writeup, its got a lot of good stuff and some familiar names!!)

the hotel im staying at also has a waterpark. thats not what im there for. but i could do a really powerful move tonight.

horror movie about a town where to leave, you have to get someone to replace you and your role. MC is a stranger whose car breaks down, etc.

The first episode of @dreamingagainstthemachine.com is up! @reveleth.com and I had a lovely conversation about who gets to be a futurist, radical almanacs, and our least favorite manifestos. Give it a listen wherever you get your podcasts! pod.link/1890733564/e...

in my youth i had longed for both a pill that would instantly make me skinny and also a machine that could do all my writing for me and it turned out that i actually didnt want either and my revealed preference? thats right. suffering for my art.

helen dewitt has achieved what no one else has ever achieved: an unironic rendition of "buy my silence permanently. for $8000 a month. i will stop."

been thinking more about the right to privacy recently bc ive been trying to do more video content but im hamstrung by "i dont think people in my life or random strangers actually consented to becoming video content"

U GET IT

YOURE not blockading, IM blockading

breakthrough in the book. involves teeth.

tryna put together a March photo dump for insta and being smacked in the face with like oh right we got married on March 1. That was the first thing that happened in March.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

we should send more guys to the moon. i love the vibe when we send guys to the moon.

very amusing to me that you need wet guys and dry guys and guys in the sky to get the astronauts outta the capsule.
