i had a dream that i met the weeknd and asked him why he is the most streamed artist in the world when he's so mid. so that's what's going on in my subconscious.

I have one for you.

Sue them.

i don't know what she did to convince millions of people that criticizing her was actually deeply harmful, misogynistic, and problematic but it's something about taylor swift that i need to apply to my own artistry and marketing

literally my hell on earth

people only say "media literacy is dead" when someone doesn't agree with their specific take on said media

Talking About Myself A personal essay about personal essays.

i wrote about myself, and how horrible everyone's insistence on using self help coded therapy speech is, and also how awful the people in creative writing grad school are lmao. i might write more things, or this might be the last thing i ever write: substack.com/home/post/p-...

you don't know yet but inshallah you will see the light. i pray for u my friend.

one sign of becoming closer to god is realizing dunkin is superior to starbucks in every way

if you want to follow what i read which is sadly 99% princesses lately, i post everything on goodreads (www.goodreads.com/author/show/...), though i only leave a review if its a romantasy book that REALLY pissed me off like this:

The Fort Bragg Cartel by Seth Harp: 9780593655085 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Propulsive.” —The Washington Post “Engrossing. . . . Truly shocking.” —The New Republic “The Fort Bragg Cartel opens...

interesting alert: i read a that isn't about princesses. it was about drug dealing special ops soldiers. loved it + feel my perspective has changed (a sign of a good book) but the gnarly deaths made me want to go back to princesses.

here is the link yay: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/730414...

I have a project ready to be published on Substack- it's a horror novella about Taylor Swift going American Psycho on the Eras Tour but, with recent events, I should probably just write a cooking blog instead. Who wants to make chilaquiles from a recipe written by the whitest woman alive????

If you ever want to devote your idle time to William the Conquerer and the Anarchy, write a book about television! It will make you flock to anything with a castle, hot knights, and pretty jewelry.

I keep thinking that I am done reading about princesses- that my long-term project about contemporary culture is nearing completion, and that I can go back to good books about modern times. I download something good, and then immediately download 9x books about Eleanor of Aquitaine instead.

what is it with pets and their all consuming desire to eat expensive headphones

time to buy a new car to have more loans

first they came for the statisticians and i did not speak out because i was not a statistician...

I figure this is the right place for this. Big round of applause for me paying off my car loan!!!!!!!

now that i'm done with a year-long very intense manuscript... new fun serialized horror story project coming soon to substack.

At least crossing the northwest passage will be much easier.

I did get you the batteries.

this is the kind of insane, unhinged texts i send my husband after not talking to him all day because i'm on a major deadline for a book.

I should post more on here about my life but what is interesting about anybody's life.

its actually SO NORMAL

about to eat my first crunchwrap supreme

You shouldn't sell your sobriety so cheaply! Then after you relapse and get sober again maybe crowdfund a sober bar in Greenpoint.

Rob, don't! I'll do another one for you. Only relapse on stream if you get 1,000 new subscribers.
