The most people have EVER liked Wuthering Heights, the novel by Emily Brontë, was when it gave them a reason to hate the trailer for “Wuthering Heights”, the movie by Emerald Fennell.

Good morning, Bluesky. I highly recommend taking the time, once a month or so, to send someone a fan letter. Not to me (although that’s fine, too). Just reach out to a stranger* and say: “I love your work.” I did it this week & it felt great, sharing my admiration & awe. *OK to tell a friend, too.

Something else on which I need to publicly comment, as a self-titled Swiftologist: I love the caption and absolutely despise the ring.

It’s been a long time since I said anything here but I’m catching up on The Gilded Age and I swear to god that people earnestly calling this show good is going to be my villain origin story.

I have to admit, the troll in me is rooting for Andre 3000 to take home Album of the Year for his jazz flute album.

to whom it may concern, mine and @andrewwrites.bsky.social and @mrsfridaynext.bsky.social's little podcast is briefly coming back from the dead to watch prime target

first thought, best thought: Post Malone’s career may be the best evidence that we’re living inside a simulation, because I genuinely like him and cannot help it, but you can’t tell me this isn’t EXACTLY what AI would generate if you asked it to make “really unexpected pop superstar” —

JESUS CHRIST

Why are all of Nikki Glaser’s Golden Globes dresses actively hostile to her golden globes?

I cannot express how lucky you’d be to get to work on your memoir with Nicole!

Once of the many things Trump’s re-election has ruined for me is telling babies and dogs “our long national nightmare is over” any time a they are being overdramatic about not immediately getting their way.

I just realized I could describe myself as “your favorite yapper’s favorite yapper” and suddenly, opening Bluesky was essential.

Sneak peek of FLIRTING LESSONS, my next book, in People today! people.com/jasmine-guil...

Saw a pizza cut into 16 slices at a roller rink this afternoon and was like “Damn, new Proustian memory just dropped.”

but the other reason this is so exciting is that I got to argue it with one of my oldest and dearest friends @mrsfridaynext.bsky.social, the only person in the world I could imagine making Elmo v Bluey a fair fight

and look, one reason this was so exciting is that when they asked me to do this, Smash Boom Best was already 10yo’s favorite podcast. When she heard I had been asked to be on it, she lost her MIND

this episode, this CLASH of the TITANS, is out today, and nothing in my entire career has been more thrilling for my family which is why I shamelessly exploit them throughout this podcast episode www.smashboom.org/episode/2024...

Researching and reporting my story about how truly horrible Facebook has become genuinely rattled me, and changed how I looked at the internet permanently. It's important to understand how messed up they are. www.wheresyoured.at/killingfaceb...

YES! We need to keep the cry in Christmas!!!

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn’t a selfie.

Free yourself and your families from the tyranny of motion smoothing.

If we want better fashion culture in the US, we have to lower the cost of housing and commercial real estate, support independent craftspeople, build denser neighborhoods, improve walkability, and get rid of overly restrictive zoning laws. Let kook culture thrive.

In September, I took a trip to Scotland to explore the many locations of Outlander. For The Daily Beast Obsessed, I wrote about this special experience and chatted to some of the people behind the Starz series www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/out...

The New York Times came out with their own version of this article today, so read mine instead

If you’re going to befriend a reporter, make sure it’s one like @meredithgoldstein.bsky.social who’ll make you sound like a legend any time she describes you in print:

I don’t always have good news to share first thing in the morning BUT… IT’S BOOKS WE LOVE DAY!!!!! apps.npr.org/best-books/#...

when you stop reading "believe women" as "women never lie" and see it as "one of the foundational myths of patriarchy is that women can never be trusted" it makes a lot more sense.

Forgot to mention: goodreads folks, my publisher is giving away 10 copies of THE MAN NOBODY KILLED. www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...

A question for the masses: if I don’t really cook, would I be miserable/probably fail at roasting a turkey? What I mean by “don’t really cook” — I am confident in my ability to cook pasta but have, on at least two occasions, managed to fuck up a boxed cake mix.

Bringing a special Twitter tradition to Bluesky: sending @rainbowrowell.bsky.social pictures of our Thanksgiving plates— from my gay Friendsgiving:

I never get over how small these numbers are. Look how easy it is to help out your favorite authors! (And your local bookstores!)

Woke up this morning remembering how, after Kerry's 2004 loss to W, the Democratic party and the press decided it was abortion's fault. When I tell you that this is not an exaggerated memory:

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

Congrats to Chad Michael Murray on entering his Christine Baranski era

he would like one chip please

many of us were not the last time, and more are not going to be this time if you have a “we” you’re confident saying that about, your we is much smaller than mine

It's wild how these guys constantly demand impeccable message discipline from tens of millions of random social media users but never from the, like, 25 dudes who constantly write columns about how random social media users are bad.

Seth's tool now lets you convert a starter pack into either a regular (content) list or a block (moderation) list! Thanks, @wandrme.paxex.aero

Some weekend reading if you are so inclined! First up, I interviewed costume designers Grace Snell and Jacqueline Durran for the LAT Envelope about collaborating with Saoirse Ronan on The Outrun and Blitz www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

making gladiator movies without gay sex is just goofy to me

never been to Norfolk so I don’t know this horse personally but in my heart I know he is gay

In 2019, I published this book about grief, best friends, charming strangers, and how weird it is when pitchers just can’t pitch anymore. It was on the Today show! My dream is for Bryce Harper to read it. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/573986...

I am at Emo Karaoke Night and I have terrible news…

Cannot recommend enough being lightly high and walking at dusk while listening to a good album, I have started calling it a Main Character Walk

deeply resent that AI features keep trying to claim the ✨ emoji as their symbol. that one's mine. those are MY sparkles
