This.

I wrote a movie! For more info follow on Instagram at @thebendisnear. ❤️✌️

I bet you anything Barron applied to Harvard and didn’t get in.

“Why limit yourself? Why breathe in the exhaust fumes? Why be toxic? Come over where the life and light and air and sound is.” - Russell T Davies. 💙

“I’m out of cash,” I told the man at the NYC hotel loading my bags into the taxi to the airport, “but here, you can have this rubber duck.” He took it, and smiled.

When I get nervous about AI, I just call the Amtrak 1-800 number .

This is my favorite kind of story. And why I always keep an eye out on walks.

Okay! I’ll play. “Carolyn Keene” Robert B Parker Val McDermid Annie Dillard Jeanette Winterson

It turns out that the Batman cock comic may be my best investment.

Radioactive crocus are the first sign of spring. 💚 #Portland

“It can all go away.” - Adrian Brody.

I missed some of the Oscars but I did learn some cool dark family secrets.

“It’s not too late.”

“Together our voices are stronger.”

Halle Berry’s disco ball dress is fantastic. I bet when she’s in the car, it fills the whole space with rainbows. ;)

I am loving the high lighter yellow dress.

I was voted “most dramatic” in high school. Which should not surprise anyone.

Well I had a little difficulty signing in to watch the Oscars. Did I miss anything? My live ABC feed went from the red carpet to an ep of 20/20. :)

“The current trend on the red carpet is timeless glamour.” - Red carpet commentators. #Oscars. We understand that timeless and trend are contradictory, right? Spend some time with it. It’s like a zen koan. :)

My truest self.

The podcast in which I defend St Elmo’s Fire.

Who would ever get rid of this?

This one’s for you, Andrew McCarthy. 😘

How cute is this? Also THIS FLIGHT HAS FREE WI-FI! So. If anyone wants to talk.

That movie I wrote. Called THE BEND. Cleo is the star. That guy next to her is just her dad/director. ;) @jameswestby.bsky.social

When I get a thank you card my immediate instinct is to write a thank you card for the thank you card.

Research material.

@kellysue.bsky.social I gotcha something. It’s super weird. So I think you’ll like it.

I think I just want to raise kittens.

The footage of people getting reunited with their pets in CA just slays me. These are people who’ve lost everything, but when they see their pet, who they thought was dead, it’s like they won the lottery. Nothing else matters in that moment. I want to live life like this.

Fully 1/5 of the posts in my insta feed are AI. Surely there is a way to regulate this. No?

Jack Smith would obviously be played by Jimmy Stewart.

I had an old ring when I was a kid. It opened up. Revealing a secret compartment. I assumed it was for poison. And only right now have I realized that maybe it was for a lock of hair or photo.

What is it called when you do a re-listen of a rewatch podcast?

There is a lot of devastating stuff going on right now. But there are still unexpected faces that show up in pasta. And if nothing else I can entertain you with this.

Ariana Granda is 31 years old. So when she is on the red carpet taking mincing steps and tossing her ponytail she is playing a character. We don’t have to do that.

Louise Brooks is my Marilyn Monroe.

For Sale: Katanas, Never Drawn

One more thing: if you’re posting about comics events in & around Portland, use the #pdxcomics tag. There are so many cons, signings, readings, classes & meetups here, but there’s no central place to look for info. A regular hashtag will make it easier for pdx folks to find out what’s happening!

@kellysue.bsky.social 911. I need to know the brand of that red glitter we add to lipstick.

Update: the TikTok round brush has been ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I think this pretty much sums me up. #BedSideTableBooks. Show me yours.

I did that thing where I ordered a silly outfit online last night, and also a TilTok round brush. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Right now I am all into my Law & Order UK rewatch.

Like all great drag queens, Lucille Ball created a character. You can tell because her eyebrows are in the wrong place. Drag is just high performance womanhood. I say that having been recently waxed. :)

I would be willing to give up fluoride in the water for semaglutide. Like if we had to trade. Ideally I would like both. Also, a tiny squirt of lemon.

I just like to show off the presents that @chuckpalahniuk.bsky.social gives me. It doesn’t matter what’s inside. He does all of the wrapping himself. Which is maybe his great talent. I mean the writing stuff is cool too. But seriously, look at this.

Corgi. He had a rough day you guys, making sure everyone was in the correct vacation house.
