It does feel that way with the media, doesn’t it? I feel like whatever I do, it’s not going to be enough to prepare

#books 2-7 of 2026 should be no surprise to anyone who has talked to me in the last 2 weeks. @rachelreidwrites.bsky.social’s Game Changer series has been a stellar distraction

Thanks for saying this out loud. I feel similarly and have always wondered what those sitting in the stands around me feel

My father, a long-suffering Bengals fan, suggested I email Brown back and request that he pay for my season tickets and if the Bengals have a winning season, I could reimburse Brown 🀣

First book of 2026 complete! @paulalafferty.bsky.social, this is a gift! I grew up loving Arthurian legends and to have this page-turner from Guinevere’s perspective is magical. I can’t wait to read the rest. Thank you!!!!

Yesterday would have been my mom’s 80th birthday. She died at 44. I cannot imagine what she would have been like at 80. I’ve had so many years to grieve, but this feels bigger. I’m trying to give it space. The holidays are hard for so many of us.
Here is a picture of Lilah that brings me joy

I can only imagine Burrow’s frustration after a great series resulting in a TD, ensuring no shutout, only for Miami to turn around and make a meal of our defense (with Miles Murphy a notable exception)

β€œMarriages don’t break up on account of infidelity. It’s just a symptom that something else is wrong?”

β€œOh yeah? Well, that symptom is fucking my wife”

One of my favorite scenes of all time. I hope next year is better for you and for all of us

Almost as cheap as the Bengals but not quite. Mike Brown will own that crown until he dies and Katie Blackburn will inherit it and wear it proudly. I feel your pain.

Really getting tired of the full-throttle push on all channels to β€œbuy! Buy! Buy!” on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It seems so much more desperate and out of control this year. Is it just me?
