What a wretched thing to feel everything so deeply

rainy puppy walks ☔️🥹

Still have no copy of Coffin Moon, but was suddenly and without any warning standing directly next to Joe Hill - will she recover from this? Possibly (probably) not!

Getting my manis cured for our boy Joe tonight 🐉 (so glad to be alive rn fellas, even though I left my kindle at home ❤️‍🩹)

Del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN has left a hole in my heart and I fear I simply will never recover 🥲

Absolutely fantastic reads for the spookiest of months (except that finding physical copies of @keithrosson.bsky.social’s COFFIN MOON in the wild is proving to be absolutely impossible)

Listen I have almost finished Joe Hill’s KING SORROW and it’s been such an exciting and emotional read that to think I’m almost done with it is making me SAD

Quite seriously flirting with the idea of deleting insta and threads and facebook and using bluesky and substack as digital journals… it’s such an attractive idea to be almost unfindable but deeply knowable

Oops, got vulnerable on main again. open.substack.com/pub/bealiliw... #writing #substack

Finished reading Brian McAuley’s BREATHE IN, BLEED OUT last night and had the best time with it. Obviously had to watch SCREAM tonight to add to the vibe, and the vibe is immaculate

stay cute. join your local mutual aid. put up your own propaganda. meet your neighbors. kick a robot.

The new oven that was installed in this kitchen before we bought the house almost fully relies on an app that literally will not work. Why do I need an APP to set a timer on my god damn oven. Why do I need an app to set a specific temperature. These are the end times and I am glad it’s almost over

Going to see The Long Walk in t-minus 2 minutes. Will report back on how devastating I find the experience x

There are too many books I want to read and I am overwhelmed so of course I am meeting this challenge head on and not reading anything at all

Offsetting the terror of responsibility by moving the fish tank so we can have new windows installed, and then sitting down to play animal crossing and pretending I am not responsible for aquatic lives and finances

Wrote a piece about mental health and antidepressants the other night. Read it or don’t, I’m not your mother 😚 substack.com/home/post/p-... #writing #writesky #writingcommunity #substack

I don’t want to brag but I just rearranged all the furniture in my study and it’s perfect

What better way to deal with life than to write about it and publish it for the world to see? Anyway, I started a Substack (which is terrifying) and it would be nice (fucking excellent) if you’d take a peek and maybe subscribe <3 bealiliwen.substack.com?r=6ejb7e&utm... #writing #booksky #substack

My husband doesn’t love me anymore (asking me to fill up my own water bottle)

meet Vlad the Lad

The urge to wake my husband up to tell him in excessive detail why I didn’t like the book I just finished vs the knowledge that I should be kind and let him sleep

Yes waiter, I'll have a cup of tea, a scone, and if it's not too much trouble, perhaps some precedented times?

Read NOTES ON AN EXECUTION in one sitting today. Absolutely mesmerising, profound, and a little bit heartbreaking. I will now be floating around the house trying to put myself back together in time for bed 🥲 #booksky

Surround yourself with the kind of people who are proud to have a library card.

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.
