Waiting until a major snowstorm to watch Heated Rivalry was the correct choice.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

Book 5 of 2026: HOWLS FROM THE DARK AGES, edited by P.L. McMillan and Solomon Forse. Gory short horror stories that take place in the medieval period. What more could you want? Let’s go, creepy monks!

You’ve heard a lot about my dead parents book. I thought you might like to meet my dead parents, Nancy and Dan. 💗

Book 4 of 2026: THE GENTLE ART OF SWEDISH DEATH CLEANING by Margareta Magnusson. I’d read excerpts of this before, but never the whole thing. It is…adorable? The cutest book I’ve read in ages. And tremendously useful, of course! Makes me miss my grandparents, though.

Book 3 of 2026: THE VILLAGE LIBRARY DEMON-HUNTING SOCIETY by C.M. Waggoner. At first I thought this was going to be a typical cozy mystery—and then it wasn’t typical at all, which I very much appreciated.

I’ve learned a lot from volunteering with hospice patients, but most recently I’ve re-learned that I love Yahtzee! I used to play with my grandparents all the time when I was little, but recently one of the patients taught me to play again. She always wins.

Book 2 of 2026: BABEL by @rfkuang.bsky.social. I literally just spent five straight hours finishing this book because it was so good. You must read it. I insist.

Been kind of a weird week because of my book launch but I cannot stress enough how important it is to say: fuck ICE.

Have you been putting off those POA forms, Louisville? Drop in this month. I’ll help you out!
A friend suggested I hold office hours to help folks make financial & healthcare POA forms. Ask and ye shall receive, Louisville. Let's try this in January and see how it goes! New year, new opportunities to prepare for death.

Got a question about whether you need to wait until your parents are dead to buy this book, and the answer is NO, it’s great for getting a sense of what you need to know before it’s an emergency! Also there’s a chapter on what to bully your parents into doing if they’re not yet dead
Happy pub day to @deadparentswhatnow.com! Losing a parent is one of the hardest things we’ll almost all have to do—this book helps you tackle the logistics of probate, burial, clearing out houses, & more, with the warmth and humor you actually want at a tough time (or when planning for tough times)

Happiest of pub days, @rebb003.bsky.social ! In the weeks before her death, my mother got such a kick out of Becky’s “so my parents are dead” videos. She thought they were hilarious. She would be so thrilled to see this wonderful book in the world. Full of great info, gallows humor, & grace. ❤️🪦

Hey maybe you wanna tune into this tomorrow because I feel like a kid planning a birthday party and I’m afraid no one will come to my book launch 😂😭
I'm celebrating my book launch with a Q&A on Instagram Live. Send your questions to hello@deadparentswhatnow.com. See you there.
