I danced to Opalite in a movie theater last night, and I miss Aaron Dessner.
I contain multitudes.

I see that I have to listen to Taylor albums the same way I have to watch Bridgerton or read certain books—in a cave where I can avoid any discourse so I can form my own opinions.

Gotta say, as the youngest daughter who is the only one in my family who bothers with therapy and is also (less importantly) a better travel planner and airport navigator, these eldest daughter memes are tiresome.

Not being on Twitter.
What's your secret to being online all the time without contracting computer madness? For me it's being pure of heart

I just finished reading a book by an author (not an internet name) whose stuff I binged circa 2012, and god it’s nice to read something that feels so far removed from the discourse of how smart/cultured/“right” I might be because of the fraction of my life that is represented by my enjoying a book.

every day i see hundreds of comments of people spinning elaborate scenarios to explain how trump can control everything and all opposition is futile. a) i think a lot of you need to log off and stop following professional doomsayers. b) i think a lot of you are cowards

Twitter was never a very good platform for debate or persuasion even before it became a Nazi roachpit. Brief text snippets are terrible for conveying nuance and the public platform means it's hard to find common ground. It's always been a watercooler for people you generally agree with.
"I'm on Twitter because I want to persuade people instead of hanging out where everyone agrees with me and shirking my persuading duty" is the core argument of this piece. And it's not a good one. 1/
I'm sure this will be popular. www.theargumentmag.com/p/we-have-to...

It took me an extremely long time to learn that you can still plan and execute an excellent event while not overcomplicating things, and planning an event with people 10 years your junior who haven’t realized this is a special form of hell.

Another day in which I’ve gotten distracted from my Before Sunrise AU by basically cutting myself open all over the draft of my Before Sunset AU.
I realize this sounds very dramatic.

The feeling induced by the slightest hint that you’ve purposely been excluded from something with your friends (even though you almost certainly haven’t!) not long after having a Rough Time about another friendship is akin to being chased by a bear. One that shouts your flaws out as it chases you.

Had one of my recurring dreams about going back to a workplace I hated and another (variation on) the one where I careen off of an elevated road.

Thanks to my excessive muting, I'm just now seeing that someone tried to pull me into some BlueSky beef. To clarify, there's a big difference between a private convo in which you share that an author isn't for you, and a larger, public conversation piling on to an author or authors.

The follow-up is that I am actually embarrassed by how I still find Burr more relatable (in a lot of ways) than Hamilton 💀.
Almost embarrassed by how hard I’m libbing out to Hamilton this week. Almost.

If I ever conclude that Bluesky has become intolerable to me in one way or another— perfectly possible!— I wouldn’t go back to Twitter.
I’m not providing free content for Musk’s Nazi propaganda machine no matter what.
Telling me bad things about Bluesky is genuinely irrelevant to that.

I can’t adequately describe how absolutely crippling it is (for my own writing) when I see or hear about fic authors shitting on other fic authors.

Me applying this Fredrik Backman quote (from his latest, My Friends) to my writing is the quote possibly the most on-brand thing I can do.
