I was so incredibly honored to moderate @deenahelm.bsky.social’s event at @brooklinebooksmith.bsky.social tonight for her debut, OUR CUT OF SALT! This jawdropping Palestinian haunted house novel is on sale TODAY - I absolutely tore through it, and you will too!

I fermented and churned my own cultured butter and it’s the only thing I will be talking about for the next 5 years

A beautiful piece of challah with a beautiful smear of butter on a cheap plate I got from Target 15 years ago

For the last couple years I’ve been habitually forgetting to book haircuts until my hair is completely out-of-control long. As a lifelong short-haired person, this has opened my eyes to the wild reactions people have when you get a Big Chop

Devastated to inform you all that if you have an extremely granular synopsis that hits just about every beat you need to keep in mind for your book, you can basically sit down and bang out at least 500 words any time of day

I love looking out a rolled-down window in the car, feeling the breeze on my face, listening to the Bad and Unhelpful Impulses Department of my brain chant “throw phone throw phone throw phone”

Dolly Parton had her hand in so much public good, we’ll probably never know the scope of it. Relatedly, it’s a great night to make a donation to the Imagination Library donate.imaginationlibrary.com

I think a lot about these parents and child I overheard while waiting to board Amtrak a few months ago. The kid was asking where they were going to sit if the seats weren’t assigned, and the mom went, “I don’t know! We’re just going to have to be flexible”

it's always odd when "you should expose yourself to more diverse ideas" always means a certain kind of conservatism instead of like, Indigenous art, new fusion foods, math paradoxes, or the Dvorak keyboard layout

There is unfortunately nothing more interesting to me right now than the politics of the sex purge movie. Guy trying to make a romcom accidentally makes a chilling dystopia and is totally uninterested in exploring any of the implications

Kind of funny and eerie to be reminded that ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’ takes place in 2026, given that I think of that story every time I see two Twitter bots having a conversation

I used to share an office with someone who would get extremely jealous whenever our coworkers paid more attention to me than to her. Just thinking about how when anyone would express sympathies to me about my long and pricy commute, she would make up a hypothetical person who had it worse than me

I want to and will see the Nolan Odyssey, but also, feeling a pretty powerful urge to rewatch O Brother Where Art Thou this weekend

Rebecca Mahoney @cafecliche.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Was thinking about adaptations with The Odyssey and the upcoming Flanagan Carrie series and trying to articulate why I’ll allow totally doing one’s own thing in some adaptations versus others… and I truly think it comes down to ‘if you’re doing something interesting, you can do anything you want.’

Sometimes I think about Interview with the Vampire season two episode one where Louis tells Claudia "if you were the last vampire on earth it would be enough" and then the camera slowly pans over to the unblinking ghost of Lestat next to her. Yeah.

Delighted to report that Hokum was SO good. Damian McCarthy is becoming one of my favorite horror directors and this might’ve been my favorite of his: loved that he set up Adam Scott’s character as an Unlikable Horror Protagonist and then made a few smart choices to make us root for him.

So so sad about Anthony Head :((( That Buffy-Giles relationship was the heart of the show to me, and he gave that character such heart and pathos and the perfect occasional moral ambiguity. And by all accounts he was so sweet to the fans.
