Staying in a hotel right next to Times Square and last night I heard a car horn that sounded like a human man

Reading a Samin Nosrat cookbook always fills me with such optimism for life. Tomorrow could bring anything. I could make roasted carrots with a whipped tahini

GOP talking points earlier this year: The WNBA hates Caitlin Clark because she’s straight and white and they are targeting her with deadly weapons GOP talking points tomorrow: How was I to know what a ‘Caitlin Clark’ is

It’s a great day to be a fan of both women’s basketball and Republican humiliation

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!

This really is my culinary Mt. Everest. I keep turning to my roommates and saying “did you guys know I made butter today”

Rebecca Mahoney @cafecliche.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
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

LOL he was totally baffled that women could just get a Big Chop for no reason except feeling like it 😭😭😭

It’s so cute!!! One of the best haircuts I’ve gotten recently

Rebecca Mahoney @cafecliche.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Got 5 inches off recently, love the cut, am delighted whenever I see it in the mirror. Meanwhile today someone saw the cut and just went “oh. Why?”

Rebecca Mahoney @cafecliche.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
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

I thought I was already a plotter, but apparently they were higher heights (and more detailed beat sheets) I had yet to experience

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

Genius parenting. Excellent introduction of the concept of uncertainty. And also an excellent thing to tell oneself in traffic or when making plans or when waiting on important emails

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

Whatever they’re doing with Chris Evans’s styling in the new Marvel is looking way more Ransom Knives Out than Steve Rogers
