Speaking of writing advice, I feel like everything I've been thinking and talking about over the past few days can be boiled down to this. Go ahead and write the weird shit. Because (waves hands around at everything) at this point, why the fuck not?

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Hey Noiristas, #Noirvember is almost here, and I'm back with my #NoirvemberChallenge in 2025! Want to submit a #filmnoir question? Leave your ideas in the comments below. See you Nov 1st for the best month of the year! Special thank you to @jauntworks for this year's artwork!

@ladycatalina.bsky.social Happy Birthday! My birthday present is to tell you that Noir City in January is going to go down the musical route, according to Eddie Muller at the private Q and A for passholders at Noir City Detroit. Musicals (!!) and films about musicians is planned for the lineup.

Look for #NoirCityDetroit on the second day--matinee.

@queenofnoirs.bsky.social Noir City Detroit starts tonight. Do I rate a whistle? (Detour is showing along with Out of the Past)

Ready for Noir City Detroit. But feeling like I have been thrown off the crummiest freight train in the world. #NoirCityDetroit

I haven't even got my lipstick on! A woman has to wear lipstick. I'd feel positively naked without it! #SuddenFear #NoirAlley #TCMParty

So sad that that was John Garfield's last film #NoirAlley #TCMParty

I am a very picky eater. I would end up dead. #NoirAlley #TCMParty

#NoirAlley I had to pull the plug on TCM on Xfinity because I can't afford it anymore so I am watching on YouTube. Down side is ads keep popping up. #TCMParty

My mother drove me nuts, but I NEVER EVER talked to my mum the way John Garfield did. And Mum certainly never wore a robe like that. #NoirAlley #TCMParty

This ought to be interesting.

Michiganders when they hear Gavin Newsom is the coolest governor in the country. #BigGretch

Just going to leave this here

Listening to Jeff Buckley right now and wishing I lived closer to Ann Arbor so I could see the new documentary about him.

My parents witnessed Chuck Hughes dying on the field in 1971. I was at Pontiac Silverdome when Mike Utley was paralyzed in 1991. Industrial strength vibes going to Morice Norris. #OnePride

If you’re wondering how ICE recruitment and training is going under Kristi Noem—South Park already nailed it.

Have we reached consensus on the clinically correct name for this particular shade of blue? I vote for serge. Whatever it's called, I think it may be my favorite color in the whole wide world. #TCMParty #AStarIsBorn #SUTS

Mesdames et monsieurs, Magali Noel! #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Bonsoir, noiristas. Ready to get the Rififi knocked into me. #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Who wants to tell him they call this “Mexican Coke”?

Looking forward to Rififi next week. #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Everyone is greatly disappointed. Indeed they are running away from themselves. #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Music to riot by. #TCMParty #NoirAlley

Wishful thinking, Miss Habersham. #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Intruder in the Dust is not in any of my film noir books. Eddie Muller must have picked it for a good reason. #NoirAlley #TCMParty

NPR CEO statement on congress' decision to claw back $1 billion for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting

I love our public radio. It plays music you do not hear often in my area's other station. Jazz, blues are a mainstay on it. Why does the king wannabe have to after so many things I hold dear? I hate him.

today is a great day to support your local public radio and television stations

Public radio saves lives. Period. Last year alone, PBS transmitted 11,000+ emergency alerts — floods, fires, tornadoes, evacuations. Cutting its funding means silencing the alarms. This isn’t politics — it’s public safety. #SavePublicBroadcasting #EmergencyAlerts

The destruction of public radio is truly an existential threat to books and book culture. I can't say it enough.
