Are you aging? (If no, you're in trouble.) Have you ever considered how much like puberty it is? Today on Jungle Red Writers I'm comparing the two (hint: liver spots are the new zits.) www.jungleredwriters.com/2025/07/agin...

It's my week at Jungle Red Writers, and today we're talking about food (and drink) of the season. For me, it's all about the Pimm's, baby. www.jungleredwriters.com/2025/06/only...

You give up your life for your child and in return she publicly shames your mustard buying habits before the whole internet

My youngest daughter is getting her masters in The Hague and @mainemillennial.bsky.social and I are constantly pointing out how silly Dutch is. The language is basically a drunk German trying to speak English.

Now I'm going to watch the latest episode of @marthawells.com's MURDERBOT, because sometimes even the Corporate Rim seems a kinder, saner place than this one

I don't FEEL that old, but looking back despairingly I literally can't count the number of wars, cold wars, military actions, operations and international police actions I've seen in my life.

That this can happen to a genuinely gifted teacher like Rob is emblematic of the bullshit surrounding our universities. The important thing to remember is, as much as it sucks, it's better to wade through shit than to kneel in it.

Life hack: Stop blaming everyone for all your problems. Pick one person you hate and blame them for everything.

Please, someone in development...

"I thought you LIKED romance," complained the stalker who kidnapped you and locked you in a mountain cabin filled with flowers, wine and music.

I cannot endorse this enough. Also, parents: it's not your job to entertain kids. Let them figure out how to entertain their own GD selves! That's how you develop imagination.

Nobody should be made homeless because of a GD broken ankle gofund.me/dbd8cdac

hi, cis folks! if you’re calling democratic reps about the maga murder budget, you should *specifically mention* it’s unacceptable to pass a bill blocking funding for lifesaving transition care FOR TRANS PEOPLE OF ALL AGES. if you want to stand with trans people, this is a big moment. 🧵 reps.fyi

I'm experiencing nothing but relief that a 5-day trip to the Hamptons,starting tomorrow, has been canceled. Why? Because I just got back from a four-day trip. Apparently, I have entered the agoraphobic stage of life

I am not successful at all! Please, everyone buy multiple copies of COLOR TASTE TEXTURE. Leave glowing reviews! Maybe they will let me publishing another book if you do so. 😅 Literally begging. 🙏🏻

It's the end of my week at Jungle Red Writers, and as usual, I have a scrumptious recipe from The British Butler herself, Celia Wakefield. How about a to-die-for, gluten free flourless chocolate cake? www.jungleredwriters.com/2025/05/oliv...

I... I already do this

My first house, purchased for $117,000 in 1990. Someone added one hell of a second bathroom, because it increased the value over a quarter of a million

I've decided to take all my money out of the market and invest it in flea and tick preventatives for my dogs #fintech

SCENE: A darkened kitchen. ENTER JULIA JULIA: Alexa, what-- JULIA STUBS HER TOE ON A DOG BOWL JULIA: Ow! Ouch! Crap, that hurts! Ow! ALEXA: I'm sorry, I can't help you with that.

Today at Jungle Red Writers, I'm considering the strange longevity of novelty songs. How it is I know the lyrics to The MTA Song when it came out 3 years before I was born, AND I never visited Boston til 1980? (Nope, my mom didn't have the album, either...) www.jungleredwriters.com/2025/05/char...

It's my week at Jungle Red Writers, and today I'm giving you all the fun facts about the papal election you're going to need at the bar/dinner party/farmers market this weekend. And no, I didn't make a joke about Cardinal Pizzaballa, that's been done www.jungleredwriters.com/2025/05/happ...

It's my week at Jungle Red Writers and we're starting out with a discussion on the scariest, wackiest "productivity" apps and advice we've seen. What efficiency/productivity hacks left you shaking your head in disbelief? www.jungleredwriters.com/2025/05/craz...

STAR WARS had been out for a month when my Trekkie friends and I went to see it on my 16th birthday in 1977. I was so enthralled, I saw it another six times that year. Experiencing the original trilogy unfold - plot twists and all - was one of the great joys of my life. May the Fourth be with you!
