i like some cozy genre stuff but as a Cozy Mystery enthusiast specifically i'm often like. ok this is sort of like describing your fantasy/mystery/scifi/etc as "apolitical", in that, is it really Cozy or is it just Unexamined

did you know: my new book about Antony and Cleopatra IN SPACE comes out on Tuesday. I would describe it as influenced secondarily by Shakespeare and firstly by the most egregiously low-budget Doctor Who episodes of the 2000s. it has an incredible cover www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/emery...

Here I am, a factory worker enjoying his lunch in the North End of Boston on January 15, 1919. I’ve survived the influenza pandemic, I’m feeling good about life, and I’ve never been more confident I will not be swallowed up by a flood of liquid sugarcane extract

nothing at work that I get as much unfiltered pleasure from as receiving an email that begins "nice to e-meet you"

too long to list all of them, the only one I remember sincerely disliking was Pope's "Rape of the Lock", which gave me the best paper I wrote in all of secondary school, you learn so much from going "I kNOW this is misogynist but I need you to BELIEVE me so I need to articulate WHY"

when I was a kid I took such pleasure in starting all my projects by getting a piece of printer paper and drawing a beautiful map with ice caps on the mountains and different handwriting for city names and country names and every inch of the country borders meticulously considered and now

a corner of a map hand-drawn in a lined notebook, showing a coastline, some mountains, and labeled cities. the handwriting is messy, the ink is smudged, multiple names are crossed out and re-written, and the coastline has been re-drawn in pen several times so it's difficult to tell where it's actually meant to be

time for my New Year's Day tradition: baked potato stuffed with garlicky broccoli, asparagus tossed with sage porcini and rosemary and roasted within an inch of its life, hot apple cider, and crying my eyes out over HOLIDAY (1938)

the best part of NOSFERATU that people are not going to have access to is that i went to an open-caption screening and in that one shot with Thomas and Orlok in Orlok's castle the subtitle was "slow, rhythmic slurping"

If you don't want to open the door to a federal bathroom bill and a federal ban on trans people, take the time to go to www.usa.gov/elected-offi... and then CALL (with a phone) your elected officials. Tell them, 'I expect you to vote against any proposed anti-trans bathroom bill.'

if you're in the area and have the chance, strongly recommend seeing The Civilians' Sex Variants of 1941. idk that this is a "I think the show is great" rec so much as an "I want other people to talk about the show with me" rec, but it is amazingly rich, unsentimental, and heartfelt

Lana Turner has collapsed!
I was trotting along and suddenly it started raining and snowing and you said it was hailing but hailing hits you on the head hard so it was really snowing and raining and I was in such a hurry to meet you but the traffic was acting exactly like the sky and suddenly I see a headline
LANA TURNER HAS COLLAPSED!

love "Octavia fainting at the Aeneid" paintings sooooooooo much. Everyone Gets Mad At Local Twink

Painting of Vergil, left, holding the Aeneid while Octavia faints in Augustus' lap, right. Augustus holds his hand out sternly toward Vergil.

Painting of Octavia fainting in the arms of her maid, left, while Vergil, right, holds his hand up in speech. Augustus sternly reaches a hand out to stop Vergil.

Painting of Octavia fainting, center, while Augustus and a maid cluster around her. Vergil, right, puts his scroll down in confusion while another maid gives him a "what the fuck, man?" look.

my grandmother's grandmother, married unhappily at the turn of the century to a man called Emery Valentine, made off in the night with her son, his diamonds, and his peg leg. I needed a professional moniker and thought, well, it seems that we're in the business of thieving

umbrellas have not changed design since the days of ancient greece. two things we've simply never improved on as a society: honey and umbrellas
