HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY TO MEEEEEE! Buy my book because I can (unfortunately) guarantee that you will need it someday. And if you have to figure this stuff out, you might as well laugh about it while you learn.

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 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.
The cover of Margareta Magnusson’s book THE GENTLE ART OF SWEDISH DEATH CLEANING, featuring illustrations of various blue, yellow, and green objects cluttered into the shape of a house. And then, lower, two green chairs on either side of a yellow table topped with a vase of flowers, a blue clock and a small picture hanging above, nice and tidy.

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.
The cover of C.M. Waggoner’s novel THE VILLAGE LIBRARY DEMON-HUNTING SOCIETY, featuring an illustration of an arch surrounded by bookshelves. At the bottom, the silhouette of a cat is pawing at a demon tail growing out of the S in “society.”

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.
The cover of R. F. Kuang’s novel BABEL, featuring an illustration of Oxford with a tall, ornate tower in its center that does not exist in real life.

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. ❤️🪦
