My living room by day and night

This is the first Halloween that I’ve gone as myself, hope it’s not too frightening for the people

One thing I’m not going to do when I release a new project? Acknowledge it happening. I’ll listen to it in three months thank you so much.

👏 NEW! Witchgrass - a podcast from us pirates on the Permanent Record Research crew, featuring @kennedycatherine.bsky.social and @mjbanias.bsky.social. A cold, Canadian story that will teach you how us maniacs do what we do. Wherever you get your podcasts: open.spotify.com/episode/4vWj...

Animals should not be allowed to die, but especially not this one. Stole him as a baby off a farm where they were going to kill him because he seemingly had no eyes (they were just infected & closed), and he was the chunkiest sweetest boy. Whenever he goes now, he’ll still be chunkiest and sweetest.

Got my period, made a roast about it

First Sunday at home since the September move. I’m still in bed at 1:30pm. This life may very well be worth living.

Going no-contact with my partner for a week (she left her phone in an Uber on the way to the airport , leaving me to negotiate over the phone with the driver I found on Instagram to get the phone back, a man who seemingly believed I could have psychic knowledge of a strangers phone)

Y’all are gonna wanna see this snack plate lunch

I keep notes for myself like I’m an amnesiac with a memory that resets every morning. Sticky notes on cupboards and mirrors with painstaking detail and accuracy. Alarms every few hours with thorough explainers. Human supporters. And yet, I’ll be lucky to remember to pee.

I’ve been in the new place for almost 5 weeks and I’m back to saying that if literally anything ails you, I hold the maybe egotistical but certainly somehow true belief that if you came and laid on my rug and let me choose a weed strain for you and then a corresponding meal, you would be ok

Witchgrass: A Small Town Investigation. MJ Banias and Kennedy Chappell unearth a case the town seemingly forgot. Following threads from waterlogged files, redacted reports to shamanic visions, chasing a truth from inside an unlocked apartment. Coming soon. www.bullshithunting.com/p/witchgrass...

🚨NEW! From yours truly and @kennedycatherine.bsky.social A Fake Prince, a Game Show Contestant and the Devil open.substack.com/pub/bullshit...

My last real *corporate job, I was written up twice. Once for trying to fight a thief in the parking lot who was breaking into colleagues cars. Guess this is a "liability." And once for asking a guy in management if I could fight him in the parking lot cause he was pissing me off.

🚨NEW! From @kennedycatherine.bsky.social and arguably one of her best: open.substack.com/pub/bullshit...

In all inboxes: The Trick to Cooperation. Systems may run on routine, but for those pulled into them, that routine can feel destabilizing and demeaning. Today, Kennedy reflects on what it means to navigate a case from the other side, from the witness stand. www.bullshithunting.com/p/the-trick-...

Not to say the most obvious thing that's been said 100 times but God the irony of being prescribed a medication that's supposed to help you do things like remember to take your medication and then absolutely not remembering to take that medication because that's your number one symptom, awesome

In paid inboxes: A Fake Prince, a Game Show Contestant, and the Devil. Bullshit Hunting drifts through Maryland, DC, and California, unearthing impossible threads between Groucho Marx, exorcisms, and slapstick comedy. For the history heads and horror nerds. www.bullshithunting.com/p/a-fake-pri...

I got this haunted chair on Facebook marketplace for $30 and I’ll never love anything more

First week in my very own space of all my own that no one else can touch unless I ask them to, and all I’ve done is work long hours, write a little, hang art and make food and pull shots of espresso

If we’re constantly supplying light bulbs with a power source, why do they die

“I love you, and you need to drink more water” is something I’m saying way too often for someone who doesn’t have kids

Dropping into inboxes today: Sh*tistics: Accidental CSAM Edition. In this sharp piece, Justin unpacks how language can shape the outcome of a criminal matter. From inflammatory phrasing to damning testimony and misleading embellishment. Have a read. www.bullshithunting.com/p/shtistics-...

Have a real bad tummy ache for mysterious reasons (ate a bag of nerds gummy clusters for lunch)

Currently, every bit of my new home is covered in boxes, styrofoam and garbage. But here, a peek that is a sneak. My pantry came with one smashed unusable glass door, but whatever, she’s trying. We can all relate.

I’ve been staying with my parents until my new place is painted and ready, and tonight is our last night. I’m gonna miss doing my favorite thing: making them dinner while they’re so completely stoned.

Not every haunting leaves blood on the walls. Some leave census errors, deeds that won’t stay still, a home with two addresses. A staircase that changes sides. Welcome to Crooked Walls, the newest account in our fictional OSINT series, Accounts Vary. www.bullshithunting.com/p/crooked-wa...

Two things, maybe related, maybe not: 1. moving into my new home, and plan to be very insufferable with the nesting, decorating, furnishing content, so stay tuned. 2. money should not be a finite resource and we should do away with budgets, and it should not be so expensive to live.

Hey, read this one. Really.

🚨 NEW! From yours truly: The Prosecutor's Software Club www.bullshithunting.com/p/the-prosec...

I respect the woman I was when I committed to cranking out a new, four chapter horror story every month. I did, however, forget that I am not Stephen King and ideas don't grow on trees!

Mixed some kale with cucumber, spring onion, mint, dill, lemon, garlic, and grilled some steak.

@kennedycatherine.bsky.social writes about being a professional bullshit detector, running across a bullshit hobbyist during off-hours. A far more graceful and articulate response than mine, when forced to parse reality through crafted omissions and disclosures.

What a day!

No footprints in the snow. No signs of life, but a door left ajar, an attic full of tapes, and a camera rolling.

Made dough out of spinach and ice cream out of coconut milk and banana, whatever man, I’m the trad wife to my own career-oriented husband (me)

A 12 year old girl just asked me if I am 16. I don’t know if it’s because I was in a generally shadowy area or because I’m wearing a ball cap and Carhartt’s and she thought I was a young boy

Shout out to Laura Linney for being one of the first women to make me go, hmm, and also for posting a captionless photo of Stephen Colbert today that made me think he died

To keep my brain alive, I'm shooting my shot with my personal Substack. Check it out. open.substack.com/pub/kennedyc...

Obsessed with the Coldplay lovers. I have a new shame metric. Anytime I go to bed feeling sick with myself, I’ll remember how two people ruined their lives via jumbotron and that’ll take the edge off.

Actually how I built my career

🚨FRESH! A brand new thing, from our queen of the macabre @kennedycatherine.bsky.social You *must* go listen! open.substack.com/pub/bullshit...

You now have the opportunity to weigh in. AI woman or Megara from Hercules? open.substack.com/pub/bullshit...

Have a new series dropping Monday and all I can hear while editing is the last two real comments I had on audio projects—I sound like if AI was making "woman," and/or I sound like Megara from Hercules. Can't wait to see if these still check out.

Really hating doing my therapy virtual style. I need to be cross legged on that couch, crying and putting on my Sprite chapstick, not watching myself do it? This feels court mandated.
