all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

My kid is playing this game where you unpack stuff to decorate a room and it’s playing Shoegaze in the background?

The people of Los Angeles deserve more than quick soundbites and sensationalized coverage.

I’m coming with questions lol. what song is the one with the horns? I don’t know if i recognize it. Did they play songs off Like Clockwork? And the last one isn’t a question: shit I wish I went to this lol

Woop! Check out The Barre Incidents on the list bc Emily is cool like that and we get to submit to have our book on the list. and check it all the awesome choices on here bc it’s OCTOBER BAYBEEEE

One of the cutest things my 7 year old does is get excited when anything is the color gold like it’s priceless. “Mom, it’s gold!!”

...And Out Come the Toys is an absolute blast. It has great pacing, and there are gruesome scenes that actually shocked me. I knew there would be death but I didn't expect them to be so brutal. I loved how creative the deaths were and loved that the narration doesn't flinch. You get details, I promise. Typically, it's easy to watch characters get tortured because there is no reason to care. In this story, you do actually learn about the characters and they really are just a group of friends trying to have one last hurrah before being separated by life. There was genuine dread when I read this book because I did care for these kids.

What an absolutely amazing review of ...And Out Come the Toys!!! It made me so happy to read it!! Also, it was a ton of fun coming up with death scenes in a toy factory, so it's pretty awesome to see it sticking with people.

Trying to chill and not overshare the plot point I added to the new book. Trying to chill and… not… overshare…

A coworker told me about this band called Geese and I keep seeing news about a band called Goose and almost telling him about it. But alas, they are different bands.

Happy book birthday to THE BARRE INCIDENTS!!!!
