I process sadness in privacy and silence, usually while my body is occupied with other tasks. Being in community with people who process sadness verbally or by crying is like communicating in a second language that I can read but not pronounce out loud.

Taking a bath to get the smell of Vet’s Office off of me before my cats get too concerned. They’re allowed to worry about me but I’m too medicated for those emotions to hit yet. (Not my pet, everyone is currently alive, and emotions are the worst)

🧵 When a production leaves this country, the movie still gets made. The stars still work. The crew is who gets left behind. Today, I brought every major production union and nine of my colleagues to Glendale to say enough.

My mom asked if my cats get on things and claw furniture. I said they get on the bookshelf and only claw the storage ottoman in my room. She called it good parenting and I was like… actually they’re innately well behaved, I don’t have to correct them. I mean, Ciri is a felon but mostly for food.

Somebody elseweb called The Sheep Detectives an “original movie”. The Sheep Detectives is based on the bestselling German novel Glennkill: Ein Schafskrimi, retitled Three Bags Full in its English translation. Yes, they made changes from the book, which is very German, but still.

Props to Ann Cleeves for bringing in Willow Reeves and also skipping ahead a bit in Jimmy Perez’s timeline because if she’d picked up too soon after book four it would’ve been TOO SAD instead of just standard-issue gloomy.

102 years is a life well lived. Eva Marie Saint did everything from Hitchcock's NORTH BY NORTHWEST to SUPERMAN RETURNS. In the dozens of documentaries I've seen her in, she seemed like a lovely person as well. Rest in Peace www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/m...

A luminous beauty with dramatic depth, she brought a layered intensity to harrowing roles and seduced Cary Grant in the romantic thriller “North by Northwest.”

When someone asks a “question” like this it’s because they believe all men are rapists who will rape if given the opportunity and puts the responsibility of rape solely on women. They never pass blame to the victims in any other crime.

I get so fed up with coverage of TV saying “fans are upset” about a show. WHY were they upset? Was it a normal emotional reaction to what was portrayed? Or was it the treatment of the material? Or was it the treatment of race/sex/gender? Or was it a production quality issue? LEAD WITH THAT.

My new novel is out a week from today — tough timing because of the election & uh, you know, the world. With book reviews an extinct species, it's hard to get the word out. So tell your friends! Meanwhile, I've started the next one, folkish horror set in a bog at a remote Maine hunting camp. Onward!

I appreciate them being upfront about it, but for a full time mid-level job that requires you to be in office multiple days a week, this should be illegal.

This is nothing but screaming into the void but the president of the united states invited a foreign country to bomb two American cities. Fuck the right's excuses that he was "joking." Had Obama or Biden said anything like this the right would be apoplectic and they would be impeached immediately.

I was so looking forward to the jeans I bought from ThredUp, and then they arrived and they were WASHED IN GAIN. They should be required to put in the listings whether FUCKING GAIN was used on the clothing because that shit is noxious and I don’t know if it comes out.

I have been a guest at conventions where, during the pre-con walk through, my handler has pointed out the bar and mentioned how some guests are "more fun" and "get asked back," then names only men. Because a lot of female guests aren't comfortable hanging out around alcohol with strangers.

Reason number 1 why I got all my vaccinations at once: so I don’t have to feel like I MIGHT barf or I MIGHT cry and everything I could listen to for the 20 minutes I’m supposed to wait for the Tylenol and anxiety meds to stay down and start to work is actively upsetting.
