a man and a woman are sitting in a car looking out the window Alt: From Jurassic Park, Sam O’Neill and Jeff Goldblum turning their heads in unison to look at Laura Dern, who is gazing out of the Jeep with a slight smile after having said “Dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the earth.”

She’s following the truest rule of any game. “Dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the earth.”

The lasting legacy of Shakespeare in Love is me, every week, waking up with a gasp and then soothing myself with, “‘Tis Sunday.”

All My Mother's Lovers: A Novel A Novel

Happy Valentine's Day! If you're into queer love and also women having an active sexuality even once they become mothers, even after they (*gasp*) go through menopause, my first novel, ALL MY MOTHER'S LOVERS, has all of that and more!

For some reason it always reminded me of Zack’s hacky sack performance art in She’s All That

This is what happens when you don’t give the spirit of Vincent Van Gogh the placement it deserves

The teetering-on-ridiculous themes are my favorite part of ice dance

I’m so confused why the takeaway from that is supposed to be that the issue is just the advertising being introduced and not…everything else.

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

you can’t wait for a nonprofit to save you when you see ICE kidnapping your neighbor or harassing parents at your kids school

I haven’t even used up all of the water I collected two weekends ago by dripping my taps to prevent frozen pipes, but today’s forecasted high is 81°

There's so much unnecessary bullshit we all gotta deal with just because it's making somebody somewhere richer.

Exactly what terrible fate are we collectively trying to avoid by always skating to Ravel’s Bolero? We’re already in a hell timeline, let’s break whatever pact that comes from and just see what happens

I cannot be healed by ice dance, but I can disassociate a little bit, and that’s fucking good enough right now

The cycle from Amazon killing bookstores to Bezos axing the books section of the Post is something
