The absolute GALL of quoting Byron and P. Shelley in an adaptation of Frankenstein. HONESTLY.

Incredibly excited for this!

AI is a choice. AI is a choice. AI is a CHOICE.

NYCC! I’m moderating “Telling Jewish Stories in YA Fiction” with @andreamax.bsky.social (The Art of Exile), @sachalamb.bsky.social (When the Angles Left the Old Country), AR Vishny (Night Owls), and @levacrosen.bsky.social (Lavender House, Tennessee Russo series, etc.)! Thursday! 2pm! Room 406.3!

My favorite kind of email is when Venmo and Zelle are like, “You just sent someone money!” THANKS. I FORGOT.

when you’re pretty sure the rapture didn’t happen, but you just spent two days in shul surrounded by Jews so it’s not like you‘d be able to tell.

the thing about the Mets is that you do love them. you love them so much. THEORETICALLY.

Can’t wait to go to Disneyworld and ride the Jungle Fever Cruise, Don’t Test Track, Rise of the Vaccine Resistant, and It’s A Sick World! Plus there’ll be like no lines.

You really do have to hand it to the Mets, they can lose under literally any circumstance.

I hate this for me, but I’m going cold turkey on the Mets for now. I don’t need the stress.

Uhhh I think I have a synopsis for this book-thing. I don’t really know how I feel about it or how the story will eventually look. But… progress?

With respect to both, “28 Years Later was shot on an iPhone” is the “Ariana Grande had to audition for Glinda like everyone else” of 2025.

Statistically, realistically, this isn’t the collapse of the #Mets entire season. But holy shit it feels that way.

The #Mets right now are like a beautiful butterfly, crushing itself back inside the ugly cocoon.

Ah yes, this is the Mets

Okay but we haven’t seen the sun in New York City since like Thursday

I can’t claim that this is the best use of either my time or my money, but I got myself a refurb iPad and am trying to teach myself Procreate. (It’s hard, tips and advice DEARLY WELCOMED)

#LFGM!!! #mets

Doing “research” on minor league baseball for a feature counts as writing… my novel… right?

well finished THAT chapter

Sorting through some stuff. I have a lot of socks. A LOT of socks.

Did I get to the “BRILLIANT ECCENTRIC DETECTIVE REVEALS ALL” scene in The Tainted Cup right as Shavuos ended, yes, yes I did. Anyway, great book, would slap in animation.

Shoutout to the huge group of girls who just spoiled the whole of SINNERS for me in the AMC bathroom lol

HOW MANY TIMES, SOTO #mets

It’s World Dracula Day! Celebrate by listening to @inkasrain.bsky.social and I gab about Nosferatu! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

Juan Soto Remember How to Hit Past the Infield Challenge

It has been an extremely difficult week. But I did complete the synopsis for my Jewish horror film… so that’s one win.

I’ve actually been getting some creative stuff done recently, which I should feel pretty good about. But I haven’t touched the novel thing in weeks so instead I hate myself!

“We simply can’t keep meeting like this!” - me when I use the same bathroom stall twice

The reactions to The Last of Us season 2 are SO instructive in understanding how strictly gender can delineate “acceptable” character roles. It legit warrants a study.

Who do you think the guy is who has to time the standing ovations at Cannes, and do you think they ever just make it up?

At some point we should probably discuss the de-Jewification of Dina in The Last of Us, right

Dadblangit, this synopsis might finally be starting to turn into a movie.

I made an Andor tee shirt

ooh is LFGM back? I dig it. #Mets

omg!!!!

So obviously this is not my lane, but there is something absolutely delightful about the fact that being the Pope’s brother once meant you were a bloodthirsty Borgia or mad Medici, and now it means you’re two guys from Chicago who text the pontiff about movies and Wordle.

When you really do not believe that all of Star Wars should be like ANDOR… but increasingly really want all (or most) of Star Wars to be like ANDOR.

Same. Finally got to the end of draft zero on my horror feature synopsis. It’s messy as hell, still a badly-needed step forward.

I’m starting to feel kind of gaslit by how much Kleya looks and sounds like Leia in ANDOR. She turned up with her hair down in 209 and I did a physical double-take.

Thinking of starting a TikTok to chronicle my writing. Seems like a good way to distract me from writing.

MY SISTER WHO KNOWS THINGS, WATCHING ANDOR: What did they say Cassian’s alias was on Ghorman? ME: Varian Skye? HER: As in Varian FRY? ME: what HER: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varian_...

Happy Star Wars day! Throwback to the ultimate marriage of my interests, the Mandalorthodox panel I did with @tamarherman.com, @misfittorah.bsky.social, @jewishwonk.bsky.social, and Jenn Levine! (Kinda want to pitch this at NYCC this year…) www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdtL...

For anyone keeping track, I’m in the “literally rearranging the spice cabinet” era of writing procrastination.

The Disney+ subtitles write “anti-Ghormanism,” but the preferred use drops the hyphen so that the word properly describes hatred of Jew— I mean Ghormans as a phenomenon independent of the concept of any such thing as “Semit”— I mean “Ghormanism.” So it should be “Antighormanism.” #andor

STAR WARS PODCAST: And of course, EVERY Star Wars fan knows about the Ghorman Massacre. ME: …we… we do? 👀

The Mets figuring out how to lose a game when they’re up 15-0 in the eighth is WHY I’m a fan, tbh

Apparently excessive em-dash use is a sign of AI writing — UNFORTUNATELY IT IS ALSO A SIGN OF MY WRITING
