Race Bannon Bookshop As an author myself, and a prolific writer of newsletters and articles in which I often recommend books, I want to point readers to a bookselling site that empowers bookstores and the publishing indus...

Did you know that if you get your books from @bookshop.org they give part of the proceeds to support independent bookstores?

The spine of the book THE CHAOS APPLE, which features a tiny golden apple with a green leaf on its stem.

The apple on the spine has a lil' leaf. I am obsessed with the lil' leaf.

"Chaos is SO HOT right now! Your son hit the jackpot."

-My extremely Christian cousin, after my dad told her I wrote a book on witchcraft and Discordianism.

I fear I may have misjudged my extended family.

[the phone rings]

Me: "Good afternoon, thanks for calling [name of spicy shop]."

Telemarketer: "Hello!"

[long pause]

Me: "Hi, this is [name of spicy shop]."

Telemarketer: "... No. This is Mike."

I've gotta be honest, Mike. We're not off to a great start.

Me: "I was petty and passive-aggressive in a TikTok post, and now I'm worried about repercussions."

Employee: "Just do what I do and don't care."

Which is... really good advice tbh.

YouTube video by NewbieCanada Six Feet Under "Rapture Death". (4K AI Upscale)

The best rapture moment ever. From one of my favorite TV shows, HBO’s Six Feet Under. Only a minute, but unforgettable—do yourself a favor and watch.

Very good point. Thank you!

The directions on the side of the Tylenol package say to take two caplets every 4-6 hours.

I take three.

My autism powers increase exponentially.

I unleash a vocal stim that shatters every window in a five-block radius.

You know what would be awesome? If every service worker in the US pulled a no call, no show on Tuesday.

I relate to this so hard.

I do not know what happened in the spicy shop restroom, but it smells *amazing* in there.

I'm just going to accept it and not ask questions.

A customer is going along a wall of products, holding each item up individually, asking for my take on it, then vociferously disagreeing with whatever I say.

He's halfway done, though, so only 224 objections to go!

“Ass, grass, or gas?” I ask on my overnight shift at the ass, grass, or gas station.

Me: [coughs]

Customer: "TURN YOUR HEAD AND COUGH."

Me: [blank smile]

Customer: [maniacal laughter]

No clue, y'all. No clue.

I chose the higher ground. 😇

Thank you! ☺️

Customer: "Hello! I'm looking for a four-point harness."

Me: "Great! Our cross harnesses are right over here."

Customer: "Ah, okay. We called them four-point harnesses back in the day. But that was thirty years ago. AS I'M SURE YOU WELL REMEMBER."

Anyway, today is my birthday.

Celebrating my solar return with the Witches Movie Coven.

Cooler than this one?

Back in the 70s, Texas didn't just have chainsaw massacres and towns that dreaded sundown: We ALSO had satanic murder cults! Join the Witches Movie Coven this Wednesday at 9 p.m. EST as we barrel through RACE WITH THE DEVIL. (Link in the comments.)

Customer: "Hi!"

Me: [literally behind the counter] "Hello!"

Customer: "So, are you visiting from out of town?"

Me: "Um, no. I... work here."

Customer: "Oh, wow, really? That's great!"

Me: "I used to think so too!"

Customer: "My Uber driver asked if he could drop me off at my hotel, so that we could have sex. I told him we could have sex here, but he was too shy. May I use your restroom?"

In retrospect, I should've been like, "Alas, my extroverted Lyft driver is going to be in there a while."

Many thanks! ☺️

Dad: "I was bragging to my neighbor about you writing a book on witchcraft. Turns out, she's a Reiki practitioner."

Me: "Oh, wow. I actually don't know much about Reiki."

Dad: "Well, YOU BETTER LEARN. I told her she could call you to discuss it."

I feel like I might need a new management team.

My official Witches Movie Coven uniform has arrived!
