I am deep right now helping my NASA teammates write sci-fi-like scenarios, and Rod Sterling keeps trying to dictate my words.

Mt. Etna, my doppelgänger, oh how we rumble at our core until our soul ruptures with melodramatic pyroclastic fashion

I've been writing a series of essays for PBS on men whose style I admire. The latest is about James Baldwin, a man who knew how to sing through clothes. www.pbs.org/wnet/america...

the biggest crime you can commit in this country is wanting to live a happy life.

Mass layoffs at NASA. Budget cuts coming. And it's only the beginning. It should disturb EVERY sensible person in the US that Elon Musk - the owner of the world's largest private space corp - NASA's second biggest contractor - is inside hacking and slashing. This was unthinkable a few years ago.

“These public servants — many of whom are just starting their careers— represent the future of NASA. Their removal does not reflect their abilities or commitment to advancing U.S. interests in space, only that they chose to join the nation’s space agency within the past year.”

every Drump supporter who has lost their job that is now saying, “i voted for him, but i didn’t think this is what he meant by cutting back government spending.” i don’t know what else you possibly thought he meant. Where did you think your salary came from? God?

i mean i guess firing thousands of IRS employees during tax season makes a lot of sense when you don’t want people to see your taxes

I meet my doppelganger in the confectionery aisle. Same specs & lisp & woolly hat, but she's my inner wild. Filling up her pockets with handfuls of pick and mix. I bet we share a bloodline & she's from the scribbly bit. Life is thweet, she tells me, when you get away with it. #vss365 #vssdaily

Moonstruck is a perfect movie.

TS Eliot - the Wasteland “This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper.” #poem #poetry

it’s like my rants about romantasy put into intelligible words. electricliterature.com/why-doesnt-b...

i watched a pbs special on The Gilded Age and i’m sad to report history does repeat itself.

It's me. I'm Gollum.

Ah, done for the week! Brain hurts and my poor broken nerves are misfiring like crazy. Feels like pop-rocks under my skin. Hygge time!

I’m not saying that my playlist is the best but… it’s the best 😉

skyrockets in flight imposter syndrome’s delight

The cyber truck in my neighborhood turned around in my driveway while i was talking during a meeting and broke my brain with its hideousness as its tires spun in the one inch of snow we got this morning.

I was invited back to Media/Lit for their End Of Eras Tour Taylor Swift Draft! Was a great time with fun people as we battled for our ultimate TS playlist. It’s a long one but a good one!

Midnight. We want your midnights. Pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea... In the middle of the night, in our feed, You should see the songs we pod about. #TaylorSwift #Swifties @alexmarcus.bsky.social @leahmarilla.bsky.social @dreadanddonuts.bsky.social @spaceswiftiespod.bsky.social

I watched John Ford's My Darling Clementine (1946) last week and I haven't stopped thinking about his remarkable use of shadows and light for days. #westernfilms #classicmovies

I’m conjuring new Ghost Adventures A guilty pleasure, where did you go Zak and Aaron, where are the EVPs I’d settle for House Calls Not Destination of the Damned Not much of a poem Just conjuring my show #vss365 #conjure

i picked a hell of a time to start a job as a historian turned futurist….

bobbin to needle threaded frustrations i cry for my mother (who makes quilts now in heaven) please teach me how to use this sewing machine it’s something i regret i never did #vss365

sometimes i think about when i did not think and my life grew worse for wear

"Listen. Never interrupt me when I'm eating. OK? After I open their skin, I like to slowly lap at their blood like a cat. Sucking is gauche. But if I get interrupted, the blood starts to congeal. And that's disgusting. Do you like lumps in your Cream of Wheat? No. You don't." #vss365 - CONGEAL

I could see him through the window the nimble-fingered rotund bandit but the joke’s on you, Sir Racoon I left no snacks for you! #FromOneLine 372

i found you mysterious goop between the oven and dishwasher sides congealed and dusty plotting my demise but now? Oh no! you can no longer hide from my soapy sponge when my hyper-focused mind has manic cleaning vibes and Mr. Clean is on my side #vss365

war heads blast the puckering of my lips from the candy coated fallout #vss365
