If you receive an accursed item that you cannot get rid of that gradually makes your family and community hate you more, normally that’s a Twilight Zone episode

Any reporting on Trump's press conference that doesn't observe he isn't coherently stringing thoughts together is missing much of the point.

This interview with Mary Trump is striking.

I heard the verdict on NPR. The reporter said this is a somber time. Ridiculous! It's a time to celebrate justice. Yay!

What are people's thoughts about Trump's chances on appeal? Is there anything in the judge's instructions to the jury that Trump's lawyers think they can highlight?

It's hard to think of a better casting choice than Christopher Lee as Saruman.

My husband said yesterday he doesn't like biographies because he isn't interested in other people's lives.

The US has put itself at the mercy of what Netanyahu thinks "necessary." A disaster for, in order: people of Gaza; people of Israel; people of US; people.

A vote for Biden is a must. Democrats broadly trashing their angry base (they believe x) and calling them stupid isn't the most effective tactic. You need their votes if it's possible to get them. Many are angry for good reason with Biden regarding Gaza. Start there. Don't get seduced by trolls.

Looks like Meta (including Threads) isn't letting people link to at least some articles critical of them. Billionaires...

Happy St. Patrick's Day! One of my mother's favorite holidays. She had fun right up to the end. Posing here with her much-loved brother Mike in front of a curiously-named store outside of Portland, OR.

It is! And it occurs to me you likely intended that allusion. Well done.

I work with family members of people with serious mental illness. This is a more complex issue than you suggest here.

A young woman agrees to marry a handsome prince only to be thrown into a cave with a fire-breathing dragon. Plotline for the movie Damsel. And many marriages.

I bought a KFC brownie. My husband says he doesn't like the chocolate chips because they "interrupt the chewing". There's nothing redeeming about any of this.

What happens when Trump keeps defaming her? He will. He has hardly any impulse control and he's enraged. I predict a third lawsuit.

An author/poet interview is part of the process of being a contributor to the January 2024 issue of Pinhole Poetry. The questions were a lot of fun. Thanks again to Pinhole Poetry editor Erin Bedford, who is a joy to work with.

It's Penguin Awareness Day, and this is awkward. When the zoo says that penguins mate for life, they should add “with other penguins.” That’s three hours of my life I won’t get back, to say nothing of the cost of the movie tickets, the cancelled dinner reservation, and the police record.
