I'm not even totally sure how to describe today's footnoted collage-y pastiche from a.d. but it feels kinda like one of those "only on HAD" pieces and I really love it a lot www.havehashad.com/uuksi

for those getting AP scores back today, I know there can be a lot of emotions attached to scores—so I wanted to share briefly a few thoughts around what I find helpful versus unhelpful (again, just from my experience!) (brief 🧵)

David Lynch is part of a small fraternity of famous people (think Mr. Rogers, Bob Saget) who, when he dies, despite his enormous body of artistic & financial achievement, the very first thing everyone says is: he was so kind. What a good, kind man. Aspire to follow suit.

In my HS English teacher groups, people are discussing whether or not to drop Gaiman from their curriculum. Yeah yeah we can separate the art from the artist, but they’re going to google it and read the brutal details. Teenagers don’t need that on their plate!

It's difficult to convey just how much chronic pain can upend your life. When I still had my uterus, my period pain was so bad that I once begged my spouse to kill me. Adenomyosis is worse than childbirth, according to those who've known both. I barely slept for days.

I’m listening to a thriller with the flattest characterization of an addict ever. she reads like a shopaholic takes manhattan character, like the only reason the author made her an addict is so the others think she’s relapsed and distrust her stories about a paranormal thing. feels icky

there’s a subreddit called bookshelf detectives where you guess very specific facts about each other based on your shelves. guess something for me or share yours so I can investigate 🧐
