A sentence just uttered by my husband in our hotel room: I don’t know, i really don’t know what would happen if you put bottle cap candy in the coffee maker, it never occurred to me to put bottle cap candy in a coffee maker

The first step to a great reading year is buying far too many books while you’re Christmas shopping, right? . . . right?

Look I love T Swift as much as the next guy, but I cannot adopt orange as my color for any kind of era, I do apologize

Look Dua Lipa’s book club got Percival Everett, I’m just saying sign me up for this shit

Taylor Swift: I’m getting tired even for a phoenix

Me: I’d like to report the murder of Joe Alwyn

I just learned there is a Bread cover band called Toast and I—don’t know what to do with this information? Seek them out?

Realized when I picked my kid up from school that we were both wearing (different shades of) purple Chucks and well—I didn’t really expect that apple to fall very far I guess

It’s the day of a game 7 night, so cheers to having no idea whether your day will turn out amazing or heartbreaking

It got down to 50 degrees, so they’re selling lil bundles of firewood outside the gas station, welcome to Texas

Unrelated, the only thing my toddler would eat for breakfast was a whole wheat hamburger bun. Ok you adorable little weirdo

And after all that end-of-season drama, the road to the World Series is through the fucking Rangers?? Ok universe, I see you

Attention Texas!! I’m wearing a sweatshirt. This is not a drill, I repeat, THIS IS NOT A DRILL

All sports weekend has commenced with an intense AF first quarter of Texas OU. Looking forward to excessive amounts of baseball in the afternoon

Look I don’t make the rules, I’m just telling you it’s a Wuthering Heights, Symphony in Blue, Hounds of Love kinda day
October 3, 2023 at 4:30 PM
Well hello there, October baseball. Nice to see you again!

Taylor Swift infiltrating the NFL and bringing all the Swifties with her is the absolute best thing in the world right now. There’s no shade in that statement. I am delighted by the entire thing

Me to @cobost.bsky.social as he left just now: Ok so I will get my computer out and send in the forms to register our son at the schools he’s been attending for three weeks.

The moral of this story? It’s never too late to become the flaky writer you always knew you were

A note I just made on my own story: she’s definitely a Tupperware party kind of mom. Why yes, I am old, why do you ask?

It’s September. It’s still over 100 degrees basically every day. And yet, I declare it Shirley Jackson season

My kid has been back in school 2 days a week for 2 weeks and we’ve already gotten 2 separate, shitty colds. (No Covid, I tested both times.) Toddlers are biological weapons
September 1, 2023 at 4:19 PM
Oh hey it’s only 96°. I forgot what normal heat felt like. It’s not even hot? I used to think it was hot but then we had 45 consecutive days of 103-107 and now I’m broken
August 30, 2023 at 7:11 PM
I’ve hacked living in 100+ degree heat every day. Simply get a cold from your toddler so you have chills but no fever. Problem solved! 😩

Hello internet friends, does anyone have anything exciting or particularly good they do with bok choy? I got 3 . . . heads? Is that what they’re called? Anyway the Q remains the same

Musicians my 2.5-year-old can identify: Belinda Carlisle, Taylor Swift, the Talking Heads, the Clash, the Cars, the Beastie Boys, Bob Dylan, and fucking Joni Mitchell—my job here is done

Friday I sold the house I lived in when I started my MFA, got married, and had my baby and now all I can listen to is Paprika Plains

(but also thank Christ that is over my god)
