[billy joel voice] shawty’s driving through the city tonight

A digital illustration of the Yipyips from Sesame Street. They are essentially just fabric tubes with mouths that are either widely agape or closed into a huge underbite, with ping pong ball eyes and curly deelybopper antennae. In the left is a blue one, agape. On the right a pinkish-orange one, underbitten. Between them is an antique radio: wooden in a pointed arch shape with two dials and a lit tuning indicator. Most of the front of the radio is a fabric covered speaker protected by a decorative wooden grille part of which is in the form of lettering reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

I find myself enamored, conceptually, with Crustacean Thursday.

no because some of y’all weren’t listening to grandpabbie and bulda when they said everyone’s a bit of a fixer upper - that’s what it’s all about. father, sister, brother, we need each other to fix us up and round us out!!!!

i think i see a glimmer noticing the little sparks and embracing gratitude, as a treat.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

whoever decided that lush needed chelsea morning themed bath bombs shaped like a bowl of oranges too…….. i wanna talk to you i wanna shampoo you wanna renew you again and again applause applause life is our cause etc etc

#22 Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

And if I told you this book transformed my soul….

In actuality, what an affirming, hopeful novel. And at the same time, I spent so much of the time yearning for my own ancestral knowledge — which is inaccessible to me due to… ya know. colonization.

get me to god’s country (the animation building)

shoutout to andrew gold!!!!

life if actors and also people you invite to your wedding read emails or filled out forms when you asked for them

#21 The Tenant by Freida McFadden

Ooh boy. This was a tough read but I couldn’t put it down. I kind of couldn’t stand anyone for most of the book, but was pleasantly surprised by the twists and turns. I will never get over the hair incident though — I’ve not gagged like that at a book in a while.

#16-20: Stevie Bell Mysteries by Maureen Johnson

I wish these books had been written when I was in high school purely for what they would have meant to me then. I enjoyed every second of this series in a way I haven’t enjoyed a book series since I was a teenager. What an absolute blast!

If you use AI to pump out a book, that is not writing. You wrote nothing. You stole from other authors and used a tool made by maniacs. People will know. You've taken away rather than given something. Also...

wasn’t gonna drink tonight but i’m missin’ joann fabrics like a MF

nobody wants to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and go a-wassailing anymore

this would be like if there was a musical about phineas gage and nobody told me. 👀

could someone please explain to me what kind of magic is in the earth and water in massachusetts because i’m? changed.
