i like some cozy genre stuff but as a Cozy Mystery enthusiast specifically i'm often like. ok this is sort of like describing your fantasy/mystery/scifi/etc as "apolitical", in that, is it really Cozy or is it just Unexamined

cop in The Wicker Man (leaving unharmed because he slept with that hot blonde): what a strange, sexy island

did you know: my new book about Antony and Cleopatra IN SPACE comes out on Tuesday. I would describe it as influenced secondarily by Shakespeare and firstly by the most egregiously low-budget Doctor Who episodes of the 2000s. it has an incredible cover www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/emery...

zaslav's asleep at the fuckin' wheel, watch TRUE STORIES for free while you can www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhTS...

finally catching up on severance and oh my god to anyone who likes this show i am absolutely begging you to read a biography of henry ford. the extent to which the eagan cult is truth in television

Here I am, a factory worker enjoying his lunch in the North End of Boston on January 15, 1919. I’ve survived the influenza pandemic, I’m feeling good about life, and I’ve never been more confident I will not be swallowed up by a flood of liquid sugarcane extract

nothing at work that I get as much unfiltered pleasure from as receiving an email that begins "nice to e-meet you"

too long to list all of them, the only one I remember sincerely disliking was Pope's "Rape of the Lock", which gave me the best paper I wrote in all of secondary school, you learn so much from going "I kNOW this is misogynist but I need you to BELIEVE me so I need to articulate WHY"

when I was a kid I took such pleasure in starting all my projects by getting a piece of printer paper and drawing a beautiful map with ice caps on the mountains and different handwriting for city names and country names and every inch of the country borders meticulously considered and now

i'm at a point in my writing life where i'm like. i know myself, and i know what i like. and i am simply never going to do another project that does not involve getting to utilize green's dictionary of slang on a daily basis

time for my New Year's Day tradition: baked potato stuffed with garlicky broccoli, asparagus tossed with sage porcini and rosemary and roasted within an inch of its life, hot apple cider, and crying my eyes out over HOLIDAY (1938)

the best part of NOSFERATU that people are not going to have access to is that i went to an open-caption screening and in that one shot with Thomas and Orlok in Orlok's castle the subtitle was "slow, rhythmic slurping"

If you don't want to open the door to a federal bathroom bill and a federal ban on trans people, take the time to go to www.usa.gov/elected-offi... and then CALL (with a phone) your elected officials. Tell them, 'I expect you to vote against any proposed anti-trans bathroom bill.'

if you're in the area and have the chance, strongly recommend seeing The Civilians' Sex Variants of 1941. idk that this is a "I think the show is great" rec so much as an "I want other people to talk about the show with me" rec, but it is amazingly rich, unsentimental, and heartfelt

getting an influx of followers and not sure why (I mean, I Know Why, but not sure why me specifically) but hello! I hope you all like obscure puns

The world is full of interesting light to stand in at night. More front porches and bodega doorways and red neon in hissing kitchens than you could ever hope to count.

they gotta make a Pepsi thats the wrong choice. its called Pepsi Bad & if u buy it, u get in trouble. no stakes at the store these days

love "Octavia fainting at the Aeneid" paintings sooooooooo much. Everyone Gets Mad At Local Twink

my grandmother's grandmother, married unhappily at the turn of the century to a man called Emery Valentine, made off in the night with her son, his diamonds, and his peg leg. I needed a professional moniker and thought, well, it seems that we're in the business of thieving

umbrellas have not changed design since the days of ancient greece. two things we've simply never improved on as a society: honey and umbrellas
