the internet just recommended me a cocktail that is mostly gin and lemon curd

if anyone needs me, my British ass will be drunk on the floor

the clicky clacky keyboard is for programming

the thunky wunky keyboard is for writing

I routinely ignore them both and just use the laptop keyboard

slept slightly wrong and now my neck is jacked

(I turn 40 next month)

I am 1000% adopting "You wouldn't be in my Top 8" as an insult

NEORSD is a treasure, amen

... which reminds me, I gotta pay my stormwater bill

hi, ya girl spaced out on dinner prep and accidentally made enough jalepeño bacon mac and cheese to feed the whole neighborhood

literally how did I fuck up badly enough to make two?????

The man on the left is tall and slender with short brown hair, wearing a cream-colored turtleneck sweater . The man on the right has brown hair, rectangular glasses, and a friendly expression, wearing a blue button-down shirt with sleeves rolled up.

Theo and Émile are:
✅ roommates (20+ years)
✅ colleagues (same)
✅ co-conspirators to magical homicide (20 years ago)
❓confusing to everyone because are they or aren't they (yes)

One was a high school principal/district superintendent, the other was a steelworker and then worked in freight forwarding (I think, my memories are unclear). Both WWII vets.

oh, what the heck, let's try sharing something for once 🤷🏻‍♀️ #WIPSnips

✨ stressed ✨

sometimes I don't think my prose is very good and then I read an actual published book with what I think is terrible prose and I'm like "oh"

we live on a rock floating through space and none of us have any idea what we're doing anyway

Saw someone post "you don't know how good you've got it until you lose institutional JSTOR access" and like...

sorry, can't relate?

(that lifetime pass is a hell of an alumni perk, I use it all the time for funsies)

He goes to a private school with an urban agriculture program and he's super into the campus farm and beekeeping club l, so this makes sense. It was just funny 😹 he put his phone down and then got honey all over himself and didn't check it again

Waited 15 minutes for my kid in the school parking lot before heading in to find him. He came winging out of the kitchen behind the servery and shouted "SORRY WE'RE MAKING HONEY DO YOU WANNA SEE"

woof the German Language School open house is tomorrow and I absolutely need to go but also I am barely a person this week

the only thing keeping my sanity intact this week is having Kathleen Madigan tickets for Saturday

The only thing I can think of is that this cereal tastes like shit.

I was going to say "probably" but then I realized I'm actually really sure it tastes like shit.

hungry but all I have are ingredients because I was too ambitious when I bought groceries

if I was just trying to get back into therapy it'd go faster but unfortunately I am pretty sure I need therapy and educational psychology and the good drugs, and I would prefer this to happen before I really fuck things up lol

nobody talks about how weird and difficult it is to get psychiatric help when you're not an immediate danger to yourself/others

like, I'm not well-adjusted, just really used to this shit? waiting 3 months for an appointment just because I'm not currently trying to die seems unwise?

hi this is absolutely not funny BUT I really wish that I had a good enough poker face to pull a Donald Trump when asked a question and just... stare into the middle distance and pontificate word salad for an unnecessarily long amount of time instead of giving an actual answer.

I have dated some SILLY LOOKIN' dudes and personally was down bad for Graham the entire time 😹 but I caught an interview where Kaliane Bradley notes there's no photo in the US edition and this was the only explanation I can think of lol

stick another fork in, because the first draft is done and I am now so tender I am falling apart

#booksky #writingCommunity

Nothing will ever be funnier to me than the fact that the UK version of Kaliane Bradley's "The Ministry of Time" has a portrait of Graham Gore in it and the US version does not, because Americans need to be able to pretend a male lead is hot or they won't buy the book.

Again, I need someone to listen to my ideas for a modern "CHiPs" remake where everything is exactly the same except Ponch is female.

*gestures at everything*

just when I'm trying to have a mental health for once

rude

dogs make it really hard to write sometimes

keep telling people the WIP is about a magic library that eats people but in fact the magic library that eats people is not that important for like 90% of it

#writingcommunity

someone on Spotify made a playlist that is just Green Day's "Last Night on Earth" for 10 hours and then "Bobby Sox" at the end and I just

I need to know that person is okay

I have doubts
