I don’t think I was as helpful as I hoped to be there

Me, at work, seeing the delivery guy I was expecting: Oh, are you looking for [x]? His office is next to the stairwell.
Him: … so it’s not 211?
Me: No, it is 211. It’s just in that little alcove next to the stairs to the third floor.
Him: … so it’s not on this floor?
Me: No,

It’s been way too long since I went to an author event. That was such a delight

AMAZING book launch from @marthawells.com at the Somerville Armory tonight! And @hollyblack.bsky.social was such a fun, thoughtful moderator!

He is indeed!! I have a friend whose younger sibling was in school plays with him

I feel like this is SO likely

I wonder if Joe Keery would appreciate me referring to him exclusively as “Newburyport’s own Joe Keery”

So frustrating!!

“The left has been calling us racist for years, and now they’re upset that we’re posting racist sombrero memes?” Yeah man! You’re getting it

Just made cream of mushroom soup despite a high of 80 today. It will be soup season by any means necessary

Damn… apparently not everyone whose book was run through LibGen is eligible for the class action payout. For example: me 🫠

This is a very bad ruling for all of us who value the First Amendment.

Napheesa Collier you are so cool

I laugh, but they are both very effectively scary re: how big Canada is

Horror TV shows about how big Canada is:
- The Terror
- Yellowjackets

Oooh jealous!! It’s such a picturesque countryside!

Just saw a clip of someone getting tied to a big target on the ground so that the unseen killer could trebuchet wine bottles at him

The place I’m staying at for a family wedding has a whole channel on the Roku dedicated to Midsomer Murders. There are still faint glimmers of civilization left in this barbaric slaughterhouse that was once known as humanity

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

Literally the beginning of the end

And now I’m off to my gate to doomscroll on my phone

I’m traveling without my laptop for once and I felt so smug telling them at security that I had no electronics to remove 💕 Like oh no thank you, I’m 💕unplugged💕 this weekend 💕💕💕

I also really struggle with Spanish in particular! I just really want to pronounce it in Japanese

FGDHHDFH that would have been a great way to soft launch my business

Unrelated: just pronounced a Latin phrase like it was Japanese

My foreign language center learned one language exceptionally well and then said “we are closed”

An image of the novel "We Came To Welcome You: A Novel of Suburban Horror". The novel image shows three people greeting the viewer, their faces overshadowed. The central figure, a woman in a maroon dress holds a pie that has roots growing out of it and a single eye looking outward. The novel is put against the backdrop of a sepia-toned suburban home. Around the novel are the words "assimilation as horror", "Black, queer and mentally ill", "evil H.O.A." and "Adult Suburban Horror".

Listen its Latine Heritage month. Do yourself a favor and get this suburban horror novel where a butch Dominican has to struggle against an evil H.O.A while fighting a particularly haunted tree in her own backyard. you won't regret it!

RFK Jr.’s CDC may limit COVID shots to 75 and up, claim they killed kids A battle is brewing over mRNA vaccines, which could intensify backlash against Kennedy.

PSA: If you haven’t yet, it may be a good idea to get your COVID shot this week.

Reports suggest that CDC may further restrict COVID vaccine access to people aged 75 and up, unless you have an condition.

The committee that advises the CDC on vaccines meets this Thursday.

Anyway, I hope the people who called in threats to UMass Boston and all those HBCUs choke on their lunch today
