#1: Why I'm Embarking on A Life of Crime The truth about true crime is that we're all drowning in it.

Do you have a simultaneous attraction and allergy to "true crime"? When you dip your toes in do you feel like they come away stained with blood and greed?

@janeespenson.bsky.social I am so honored you follow me at all! I was the kind of Buffy fan who knew all the writers’ names back in the day, you’re a heroine of mine.

would you like to pay less than $1 million for a property on an island with an unreliable ferry, one grocery store and a 99% chance of flooding in the next 10 years? joke’s on you, the last owner paid an insane price in the pandemic & now they’re charging double because they put in a hideous kitchen

Marilyn Monroe passed away on this date in 1962. Monroe and Joe DiMaggio carved their initials into the Coq d’Or cocktail lounge’s wooden bar at the former Cape Cod Room in Chicago. hometownstohollywood.com/travels/cape... #MarilynMonroe #Marilyn #Monroe #Chicago #CapeCodRoom

I miss Peak TV and the new movies in the theatre every week. Yeah, a lot of it was bad and lazy. But at least there were interesting experiments to watch at night, in the theatres. Now there's just nothing. I hate it.

Just remembered the classic CanLit novel about an archivist who has sex with a bear.

It would be so much easier to get through this time if there were more resources for art-making.

Completely obsessed with Will Sharpe’s performance in TOO MUCH.

Also Adèle Exarchopoulos but that goes without saying.
