Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

A lot of people are knocking this thing for being redundant but I would ask you to please consider that it is also ridiculously expensive.

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

Future historians: As their computers ate and destroyed all their languages we can only assume that what happened was magic became real and that's how they defeated global genocidal fascism

“I Love You Always Forever” by Leona Lewis

My brother married his partner this weekend! They have the most amazing love story, and this display of 1,000 hand-folded paper cranes is just one piece of a beautiful wedding. So lucky to love and be loved by my brothers.

CHOTINER: And you didn’t know this person - what did you call him again? CELEBRIMBOR GREATEST OF THE ELVEN SMITHS: Right, his name was Annatar but CHOTINER: And you taught him to create a ring harnessing all his malice and cruelty? CELEBRIMBOR: Well I mean I was deceived CHOTINER: So you’ve said

She put her head down in her arms and cried, and her cheeks were salt and wet. She cried for the waste of her years in bondage to a useless evil. She wept in pain, because she was free.

Omg, it looks so bad 😆

Every day, I find myself wishing that our new book, Read This When Things Fall Apart: Letters to Organizers in Crisis, was already out in the world, because I think it could really help people right now. Preorders really make all the difference in terms of helping a book become widely available.

This is why @mskellymhayes.bsky.social was right when she said it’s not hypocrisy, it’s hierarchy. I can do what I want, but when you do it to me it’s illegal, because I’m above critique and above the law.

ah, well

Life is pretty hard, but also you get to glimpse the sunset shining through autumn branches while the crickets sing in the wildflowers

Some of you would do well to remember the rule about not pissing off the witches.

Yes, it’s still 86 degrees, and yes, I’m planning on all the syrups for my fall bevvies — maple chai, pumpkin chai, apple cider chai, here I come

Nice try, House of Leaves.

I feel like we owe Kojima an apology because he’s like “This is my villain, Corrupto Moneyguy. He controls the media and eats children.” As it turns out, this is a nuanced and accurate view of global politics.

*inhales* I have an agent!!!! What a freaking wild 2025 this has been so far between losing my job, getting into a mentorship for my folk horror novel, and now signing with Amanda Jain from BookEnds Literary Agency! Little Me would be in complete shock not only because we defied the odds (1/2)

It’s such whiplash to get amazing news while the world is on fire.

The only way authoritarianism can succeed is by trapping adherents in this cult and its chosen, beneficial reality, and then watching moderates cave and collaborate. The way to defeat them is to actually address the material conditions that led to this and moving forward in a real way.

MAGA is a cult and Trump a leader who steals his supporters' money so he can enrich himself and enjoy increasing luxury. Defeating the authoritarian threat depends on understanding these dynamics and recognizing we have to offer a better alternative. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/maga-and-a...

babe are you ok you’ve barely written about your characters sighing, looking, or nodding & you’ve only typed the word “just” 40 times

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

Not to be all food Instagramer over here, but I was super pleased with tonight’s salad. Beef-and-bean blend, chipotle dressing, chips, avo, sour cream, cheese 😋

Times are tough, the world is on fire, and then I’ll take a giant breath of the air when it’s raining, and things seem okay for at least a moment.

Added over 20,000 words this week to the millionth draft of my demon possession novel. This girl has taken many forms — supernatural detective novella, Gothic horror novel, and now a super personal dark wellness novel. Finally finding a shape I like. 😈

First half of first draft: taking my time, wanting things to sound decent Second half of first draft: omg I hate it all just word vomit get it on the page I’ll fix it later I just want this to be over so I can edit

Stop answering every authoritarian overreach by just trying to save what we had. What we had didn't work. What we had brought us here. Start talking about what we SHOULD have. How things SHOULD be. The antidote to authoritarianism is a better, more human alternative.

Me: *raving about the state of the world and personal connections to some fucked up people in the Administration, thinking I’m doing good* My therapist of five years: Ok, let’s just breathe for a second. Me: *inhales, then bursts into tears* Ahhhh, therapy.

A lot of people confuse writing with typing. Writing isn’t typing. It’s the entire process and yes that includes going for a walk or rearranging things in your office.
