Lovely email today:
"I had the pleasure of reading your story in Maudlin House. I really enjoyed it. While, obviously, rich with the allusions, references, and puns for which you are known and loved, I felt it had a certain gravity that really suited you"

My sister was bummed when she saw me wearing the socks she'd bought me for Xmas. I told her not to worry, that when I find a pair of socks I like I always regret not buying 3650 more pairs to last me 10 years

A bookshop.org shopping cart showing three graphic novels: on top, Hello Sunshine (teenagers, mystery mental health); in the middle S.I.R. (teenagers yuri with motorcycle jousting); at the bottom, Brooms (teen witch illegal broom racing in the U.S. south). They’re all amazing, buy them
If you need to get presents for teenagers this holiday season can I recommend these graphic novels that I am buying for my teen: BROOMS, HELLO SUNSHINE, and S.I.R.

I do think Reagan knew what he doing, trying to co-opt it like that

We're hosting an emergency fundraiser to help fund a kidney procedure, this account is ran by someone in the US and is currently uninsured and we need support. Currently we're $14.7k away from meeting our goal and avoiding medical debt, any bit helps

Ever since seeing Deliver Me From Nowhere last week, I keep singing Born In The USA but with "demolition woman can I be your man" right before the chorus.
SPOILER ALERT: This isn't in the film. Def Lep don't even make an appearance
Do you like Mazzy Star? Do you like In The Mood For Love? Did you know Dave Roback wrote and recorded two songs with Maggie Cheung for the movie Clean? This and much more in the latest Counterforce
