I lost my job, my kids have measles, and my town is flooded with cocaine now that Trump pardoned all the traffickers. But at least the State Department is using Times New Roman again.
Just making sure @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social see this
A stunning response (i.e., more than just a review) of GHOSTING, by Tyran Grillo. If you don't have the time or inclination to read the book, this serves as an excellent bluffer's guide to something we all deal with, at some point.
Absolutely! 💋
YES!!!
Just skipping down Bourbon St. in NOLA crying and wanting to shout at total strangers “He won!” ❤️❤️❤️ @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social
Large columned mausoleum marked with RICE. Bouquets of flowers, notes, and tokens cover the steps in front of the mausoleum door.
Got a Lift after visiting Anne Rice’s final resting place. Turns out my driver was also a location scout for The Mayfair Witches. I love New Orleans.

The cover of Sick Houses: Haunted Homes and the Architecture of Dread, by Leila Taylor. It's red and depicts a black Victorian-style house both upright and reversed.

@leilataylor.bsky.social Sick Houses is so freaking insightful, witty, cutting, deeply researched and I cannot put it down. I love this book!
Starting Wednesday season 2 reminded me (bc I do think an aesthetically amazing show that didn’t have bad politics is possible, but probably not with Tim Burton) of @leilataylor.bsky.social’s amazing book, “Darkly: Black History and America’s Gothic Soul.” www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/609185...
