I got that dog in me (I’m scared of the doorbell)

Back in 2020 I did a Twitter thread I labeled "Podcast idea #46203: Discussing the films and careers of women labeled 'difficult,' 'dumb,' or 'bad actresses' by the industry." Thinking it might be worth reposting and updating that on this here New Year's Eve.

Snoopy got some scraps from the Christmas baking.

Happy BirthdayEmily Dickinson
Tis customary as we part
A trinket—to confer—
It helps to stimulate the faith
When Lovers be afar—
‘Tis various—as the various taste—
Clematis—journeying far—
Presents me with a single Curl
Of her Electric Hair—
— Emily Dickinson, “Tis Customary As We Part (440)”

wish to get trapped in after closing time. These books leave me with nothing but some indelible dreamy imagery, what Dalí called the deliquescent imponderable, and I find that even if I didn't like them I liked spending time in them. I always read them at night.

and you wish the author would help you connect them but then you let go, and take a little holiday from trying to make sense of the world. I like it even more when the ideas are phantasmagorical and unsettling so that the story feels like a museum of the strange, but the kind of museum you don’t

I find it soothing to read a story that has no ambition or justification beyond being odd. It's hard to find a good one, that doesn't try too hard or sound affected, or end up trying to discipline its own ideas, but rather carelessly introduces unusual concepts—at first your brain flails a bit,

I love reading sad books because when your own grief is stopped up inside you like a clogged drain, you can grieve for a character on a page and understand that you're also grieving for yourself a little bit.

Honestly, there's nothing a child can do in public that's as much of a disturbance as an adult yelling at them. #yikes
