Awwww! ❤️
Mine is the opposite. Hates towels but loves jackets and sweaters.
I pulled a muscle or something and my hip has been hurting today. The fact that I prefer to sit chaotically criss cross at all times is not helping.

03.12.2025 20:22 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The new SLEEP ALONE cover was inspired by one of my favorite movies, Green Room. I love what Alan did here. The show poster style with all those creases and tears, the club stamps on the back…so many great details. I’m very aware how lucky I am to get two covers I absolutely love 🤩

We spent the morning revising a poem. I'm not sure if it's there yet, but Phoebe is optimistic. It's a very personal poem. Probably the most personal poem I have ever written.

Sometimes it feels like trying to live in the stories I write and the world around me simultaneously spreads my mind a little thin. It's like having one foot in each realm.

No one is more chill during horror movies than Phoebe. She dozes during every single one. It's adorable.

Under the Light, yet under, Under the Grass and the Dirt, Under the Beetle’s Cellar Under the Clover’s Root, Further than Arm could stretch Were it Giant long, Further than Sunshine could Were the Day Year long, Over the Light, yet over, Over the Arc of the Bird - Over the Comet’s chimney - Over the Cubit’s Head, Further than Guess can gallop Further than Riddle ride - Oh for a Disc to the Distance Between Ourselves and the Dead!

Phoebe is exhausted from the betrayal that is me cutting her hair. Gentle reader, she really needed it.
