We can talk about inner peace and fulfillment all day long. But my turtle is clicking in delight at the sound of the dishwasher, and frankly I love that Distant Rushing Water is enough to make his day.

Sally would like to know if you’ve snagged your $1.99 copy of 🖼️ THE FRAME-UP 🖼️ yet and she’s going to stare at you just like this until you do (she was the cover model!) gwendabond.substack.com/p/daily-deal...

I know we all love Jake Paul, but I have discovered some things about his Mike Tyson fight that suggests he may not be the good guy we all think he is:

Mr. Turtle woke up slow, had a good drink of water, and is now all spread out listening to the rain. A true role model. 🐢

I urge every author to read this statement from the @authorsguild.bsky.social about the Harpercollins AI licensing deal.
HarperCollins AI Licensing Deal - The Authors Guild
HarperCollins has sent out requests to thousands of authors for the inclusion of their nonfiction books in an AI license to an unknown AI company. There is some confusion about the offer in the press ...

Art history YouTube shorts have truly been a saving grace these last few weeks. So grateful for this tiny content niche.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

After bailing out of Ireland before sectarian violence started in the 1700s, marrying into the Choctaw tribe, and choosing to take the other route once they saw what the Donner Party decided, the ability to detect Crazy White People remains strong and well in my family.
Give me one interesting fact about your family history that you learned.

I don’t mind Jimmy Kimmel (I dislike Jimmy Fallon), but there’s no way to see this but as a tremendous upgrade

No matter how badly your Monday is going, at least you’re not on trial in front of a national audience.

Being a modern horror fan means not knowing who to talk to in your Very Adult Career about new "Slender: The Arrival" updates... but you must talk nonetheless.

Wondering how to put out my annual work/branding survey and actually get responses.

Like I don't care if people vandalize it, it's all data.

I have no beef with Jimmy Buffett whatsoever. In fact, I admire the guy for his business savvy.

But I admit, I laughed when I heard someone refer to him as the inventor of "toxic stepdad culture."

No rush fees on any services booked through Black Bow in the next seven days.

Just putting it out there. 🖤

Are we in the second or third full week of September? There may be serious implications for my cleaning schedule. 😅

It's fun to watch Law and Order: SVU episodes because it's a masterclass in pulp fiction. And such dense dialogue!
