Another couple of billion years and we won't even remember what the fuss was all about.

Try to get some rest and peace. All this nervous energy is pulling your focus from me.

You read that right: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar will, thanks to the approval of Trump's FCC, own 49.5% of Paramount Warner Brothers, and CBS, and CNN. One of many things to keep in mind when you cast your vote in the next six weeks.

Good night, everyone. Keep an eye on things for me. See if you can stall the hellbound handbasketing a little longer.

Fortify your eternal spirit today, whether through hot coffee, song and dance, prayer, or revenge. Six of one, as it were.

There is something wonderfully hopeful about buying a book before it even exists in your hands. It’s a small way of saying to the writer: keep going, I’m already waiting.

Blessed are those who pre-order books, for they believe in the future and believe in art and conduct themselves accordingly.

The message booksellers are getting for Q4 is December is going to be (another) shitshow. Paper and ink shortages, printer back-ups, warehouse back-ups/staffing shortages, carrier delays. Order up now, we’re being told. Who knows what stock will be available later.

Grab this joyous morn by the scruff of its neck; spirit it away under your cloak. It belongs to you now. Let it suckle at your teat until it grows into a fat and happy cocktail hour.

No cuts here. You go back to the end of the line and wait like everybody else.

All I'm saying is be cautious if your adult children start saying you shouldn't rewrite your will to benefit a fictional character you met online.

Good morning, dumplings. I hope today that your coffee is hot and all your enemies drop dead.

Double-sided paper wasn't commonly available until the Carter Administration. He led the charge against using mass-produced paper with only one side and four edges. Ahead of his time, once again.

If you're struggling with your writing, try turning the pages inside out. See if you like the innards any better.

I want you all to stop asking invasive questions. They spread their seeds everywhere and make it even harder for native questions to survive.

The alphabet was original in QWERTY order, but unfortunately the song was notoriously difficult to sing. Only a handful of countertenors have ever dared to try.

Run outside and look at the sky, children. See if the stars are spelling out my name. They've been practicing.

I see none of you signed up for Duchess Goldblatt's Summer Camp for the Emotionally Bedraggled this year.

Private equity has been trying to snap me up and replace your favorite small batch, all-natural handcrafted Goldblattian goodness with sawdust and wood glue. No dice.

Still a friend to all humanity, etc. but I'm a lot quicker to lay down a bit of judicious blocking than I used to be.

Cut the heel ends off a hot morning and stack them individually in brown paper. Don't store your summer days in plastic. They'll mold.

Lovely night of food, friends, and music at City Winery NYC. Spirit of @duchessgoldblatt.bsky.social was definitely present.
Backstage photo of 4 people. First is a dark haired woman with black-rimmed glasses in cream colored jacket on the left, next to her is the dashing Lyle Lovett in a gray suit (gray that trends toward light blue) with a kicky dark tie, great skin and a winsome smile. Beside him to his right is a silver/white-haired woman with trifocals balanced on her head holding back her bob grow-out. She’s wearing a navy outfit. To her right is a bright-faced woman with a sweet smile and a fashionable sleeveless dress. Walls behind them are olive green. Not pictured: The ever-present spirit of Duchess Goldblatt. Dinner table with empty chair. (Seat saved for DG) A candle burns next to a guest pass.

During a heatwave, I like to install a powerful fan in each room. I find their unending compliments and praise really take the edge off.

Pinch back your Sunday between finger and thumb as soon as it starts to fade. It will come back stronger and more bountiful.

Even some of our most reputable bookshops have started carrying nonfiction. Right out in the open where children and the morally enfeebled can see it!

If your work has any loose ends, tie them together to make a rope. Exit windowwards. Rappel down the side of the castle. Disappear into the mist.

I'm trying to remember the name of that one memoir. It was hot out; there might have been a mother. Ringing any bells?

Maybe a little sweetness today? For me, I mean. I know how obsessed you people are with your savory Fridays.
