trying very hard to think about non-election things rn. like for instance how in the buffy episode where faith steals her body she has the exact cadence, intonation, and editing rhythm of jenny nicholson making fun of a star wars character she doesn't like

A quick announcement for November!
tl;dr — Emily is taking November mostly off to write a book! This means free Wednesday newsletters are on hold all month. But Monday Rundowns, the monthly mailbag, and essays by @lilywrites.bsky.social will still run for paid subscribers!

As a show of respect, and because it would piss off Trump, Mamdani should adopt a shelter cat to live in Gracie Mansion and name it Curtis
Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night.
He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

Farewell sweet Prince
Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

I feel weird asking this but uh. anyone know good churches in the Twin Cities? I have been unchurched for a couple years but seeing priests at so many protests lately and reading a Marilynne Robinson novel is having the effect you'd expect on me

Loved this essay, which is free to any and all!!
In this week's free newsletter: @lilywrites.bsky.social on Longlegs, J-horror, and what American horror film could gain from telling more stories about the past usurping the present
American film could use a little more J-horror in it
American horror looking to break clichés should borrow some ideas from Japanese horror films, writes Lily Osler.
