30 years ago they were like we have to ban song lyrics for the children but it’s full steam ahead for the here’s how to do drugs until you die machine

i think american life would improve significantly and quickly if society was more encouraging of people to have Hobbies. the most perfect and serene state of mind that exists is when one is Doing one's Little Things

I quit Twitter about two years ago but it’s so embarrassing to have met the love of my life & built my writing career on that platform before it became the weird child porn ai slop app. can’t have anything nice can we

gotta say I’m really excited about our panel at AWP in March and you should be too :) I’ve been so out of the loop (for better or worse) with writing and writers so it’ll be great to see some folks again ❤️

Castle in the Sky. The older I get, the more value I find in stories that don’t overextend into all the insane world building but gives you the world as it is.

poets found dead on arrival

Icymi, I have a new story in @vol1brooklyn.bsky.social it has nostalgia for childhood, sinister going ons, and places you can't return to

all this is both foolish and unnecessary

James and I finally watched Glass Onion tonight and man it feels even weirder knowing that the insert Elon Musk character’s fake company logo even looks like what X is now, knowing that Twitter is dead. Honestly Janelle Monae should just be in every movie???? Ever???

The wisdom of Mr. Rogers is eternal:

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

We gotta imprison each of these shithead AI ceo's in a different data center like the minotaur

RIP Melville, you would’ve loved school cafeteria strawberry milk cartons

gotta say nothing depresses you quite like mandated reporter training for my day job, especially considering that the current US government just copes for pedophiles and abusive weirdos

me working from home: I could be playing Baldurs Gate 3 right now 😭😤😬

I feel this way about a lot of people

The year is 2028. A liberal elder millennial has taken control of the government. Everyone rolls their eyes at the new "department of good government oversight" (doggo). Until the purges begin

phone almost autocorrected to Happy Jew Year and honestly? yeah this Jewish gal could use all the happy years

Me, waking up this morning, to 2026:

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

2025 accomplishments: - read 10 new books (audiobooks & long drives) - Jewish storytelling panel accepted for AWP 2026 - did more freelance manuscript gig work - a full year of our new home in a new city I know 2025 was…..not great….on a larger scale but I’m trying to exist despite the horrors ⭐️

What do ye do when ye see a whale, men?

I’m a witcher (The Last Wish) so basically I’m a gig worker in a pseudo Eastern European economy

Then Frog and Toad went out onto the front porch to wait for the mail. They sat there, feeling happy together.

They say imitation crab is the sincerest form of crab

everything about Stranger Things ive been forced to absorb via cultural osmosis and memes since i stopped watching after mid-season 3 but it just seems kinda? Like? what do you mean Vecna was just. Some tall guy.

Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.

are we human or are we playing baldurs gate 3 for the first time with a playtime of 17 hours already

living in 2025, almost 2026:

Watching Miracle on 34th Street for the first time ever and man they were saying commercialism’s bad even in the 1940s. Imagine actually valuing customers and being socially progressive even if it is one large Macys commercial

We are now entering the weird liminal space between Christmas and New Year's Eve. Anything could happen during this time. You could feel weirdly nostalgic, you could see a photo of a cat, you could remember to feed your Neopets. The possibilities are endless.

James got me a PS5 for Xmas if you need me….no you don’t

James Merril’s poem “Christmas Tree,” written while he was dying of AIDS. 1995.

I find it moving that David Lynch loved IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE so much he couldn't talk about it without crying. His sincere belief in the redemptive possibilities contained in that film and what it said about people seems to me like a key element of understanding his own work.

I leap with thee; I burn with thee
