For the first time in 4 years, I'm in an apartment I actually like, so I put up my New Years tree and hung all the tinsel!
It meant so much that I get to do this instead of wading through moving boxes this holiday season, I got emotional when I looked back at the finished decor.

Merry Christmas to all! I had a blast caroling at Washington Square Park as I always do on the 24th.

I just refilled my #MetroCard for what I think is the last time 😢
End of an era.

Got my syrup for the road and on my way to partake in #ProjectElf! Remember: the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!

I think Wake Up Dead Man is my least favorite of the Knives Out movies but only because this one was way less funny and the ensemble wasn’t used as well as in the previous two but my god are these movies always such a damn fun watch.

Damn, I feel called out by the Argentinian Department of Health! "Excess sugar" and "excess calories" indeed.

I do not like your AI slop
I do not want this worthless glop
I do not read its overviews
I don't care what Grok says is true
I do not like it here nor there
I'm tired of it everywhere

Please get out of Firefox
I would not, could not, on the phone

Great fun celebrating the release of "Treasure of Ocean Parkway" with @sarvenaztash.bsky.social and @lancerubinparty.bsky.social tonight! Lived hearing them talk about the writing process, and can't wait to dive into the book!

Sophia threw a "Halloween at Hogwarts" party, and I took the prompt as a chance to cosplay the Fat Lady, after she's been brutally victimized by Sirius Black! Honestly, what kind of man starts slashing up innocent portraits?

There will be so many things to say about the legendary Nancy Pelosi's transformational tenure in Congress—but for now, let's start with "Thank you, Madam Speaker."

"it's inevitable" has never struck me as a compelling argument for AI. never seen a genuinely useful technology ushered in with the enthusiasm of a tired mom coming to terms with the fact that her kids are going to pick up foot fungus at a community pool.

I just read the sweetest book - "Confessions from the Group Chat" by Jodi Meadows! These MG rom-coms are like a warm hug, I just wish it could have gone on longer!

hpboy13's review of Confessions From the Group Chat
5/5: Jodi Meadows is 2-for-2 with her adorable middle-grade rom-coms set in Deer Hill. This book was lovely to read – it was such a treat, that I just wish I’d spent longer reading it than the 2 days...

Bonus costume! Yelena and I wanted our Freaky Friday outfits to be a big dramatic reveal when we performed. I'd already gotten the nightgown for the costume, and I'd purchased a lot of wolf paraphernalia for the release of MALFOY, so... closet cosplay of Big Bad Wolf and Red Riding Hood!

It was an awesome Halloween - great company, and a really fun night out! Any Halloween festivities that get me home at 3:30am can be considered a success. I got to walk through the parade demanding the crowd "woohoo" (a la the talkshow in the movie); we had quite a few fans!

With Halloween on a Friday, things got a little... Freaky! Here's what happened when Yelena and I landed on the idea of a #FreakyFriday performance at our school's Halloween social!

Happy #Halloween from Anna, I mean Tess Coleman! With Halloween on a Friday this year, is it any wonder things got a little freaky? #FreakyFriday
(I knew I'd do this for Halloween the minute I saw #FreakierFriday in theaters - iykyk)

5pm on November 1: let’s go for a walk, it’s still light out!

5pm on November 2: an early darkness blankets the land. Fallow fields lay bone-bleached by moonlight. The last memories of summer fade into oblivion. The last echoes of hope lapse into baleful silence.

For some characters, Halloween is nothing but trauma!
