Great piece by @glynnismacnicol.bsky.social on the narratives told about people who don’t have kids open.substack.com/pub/glynnism...
Is The Bride! a good movie? I don’t know. Did my goth heart enjoy it thoroughly? It DID (the second hour at least)
cry havoc and let slip the cats of war
I've launched a publication with @palfest.bsky.social called "The Key." I am so excited to share this first issue with you: www.thekeymagazine.com

Mitski on stage at The Shed in NYC
Healed
If you have friends in Iran, life is a game of international phone tag trying to get word from someone who got word from someone else who heard somehow that they are okay
Seeing Sirat to “zone out” and “escape” was certainly a choice
Someone tell the kids how ahead of the Iraq war, though unsuccessful, there was actually tons of global discussion and pushback, and hundreds of thousands in the streets, and this time we all knew this was coming and there was nothing
Love to spend Friday evenings screaming into the void
The Carolyn Bessette saturation is TOO MUCH. I need people to know not everyone in New York was obsessed. It was also a time of riot grrrl and Sonic Youth and CBGBs was even still open. Stop putting today’s monoculture on our time! We contained multitudes! Enough!
The last time I saw Mitski her fans were so psychotic (I mean, devoted) that I didn’t go to a show again for like a year. We’ll see if this time is different! Love to not learn lessons.
Sorry for the old lady screenshot but I refuse to log into that hellsite on my phone

Snow really teaches you that jaywalkers are the lifeblood of this city. Imagine what life would be like if we all waited at crosswalks all the time!
The only thrilling awards show fixture this year is Wunmi Mosaku and every fashion and makeup choice she makes
Relatedly, I cannot and will not learn about this sad monkey it’s too much
Even as a winter appreciator, the coming BLIZZARD is testing me
We must end the cycle of “promotional drag” www.cnn.com/2026/02/20/s...
This was a great episode from @jewishcurrents.bsky.social, with @naomiaklein.bsky.social talking about Epstein, the role of anti-Semitic conspiracy, and, of course, capitalism jewishcurrents.org/epstein-and-...
I try to keep up with what the kids are saying but this “-maxxing” thing, particularly when used ironically by adults, is out of control
Alex Kliment is one of the smartest people I know (taught himself fluent Arabic and Russian and pretty much every musical instrument on the planet) and his puppets are very funny
