In Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, dread arrives before proof. Through women’s intuition and Gothic tradition, Emily Pille explores the terror of knowing something is wrong when nothing has happened yet to prove you right. nighttidemag.com/2026/10/05/s...

There is so much I like about Atlanta, but man, when the calendar moves into October and I haven’t pulled a single sweater out of my closet and it feels too hot to wear jeans, let alone boots, my heart breaks a little.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

I’m obsessed with these little purse pouches I’m making for Christmas presents. Need to add zippers and might also crochet detachable handles. But they’re turning out well so far!! And they’re so fast to do. 🧶 #crochetsky

It feels genuinely ridiculous having to say this, but the point of art is to connect with another human. Someone thought of that painting or melodic line or scene or paragraph that is suddenly making you weep, and that means that they saw you and understood you without even meeting you.

These privileged frat bros gang raped a girl and invited others to join in for SEVEN HOURS. The story was buried, only two were expelled, and we are only hearing about it now because the victim is suing. Cornell, the police, and the system protected them. The Cornell Seven:

🚨 The CDC just changed their COVID vaccine guidance for 2026! ALL ADULTS + immunocompromised children should receive the vaccine. Insurance coverage is mandated. Metro Atlanta is currently experiencing a COVID surge. Please consider getting a booster to protect yourself + your community.

A COVID-19 heat map based on CDC wastewater data & standard levels as of September 21, 2026. The map shows all of Metro Atlanta at "very high" prevalence levels with more than 3.5% of the population actively infectious. Most of southeast Georgia has "high" prevalence with around 2.4-3.5% of the population actively infectious.

(Other areas showing "very high" include the Seattle area and most of the states of California, Texas, and Florida.)

Completed a pouch with an attached zipper. I’m considering making these for my sisters for Christmas, so this was my test version. I really enjoyed making this, though attaching the zipper was slightly tedious. (Wow those picture colors are so different. Two different rooms.) 🧶 #crochetsky

Mitch McConnell disappeared for three months & kept his full salary. Disabled people are forced to prove they’re “still disabled” just to remain in legislated poverty. Folks on SNAP must re-apply and prove they’re “still poor”. Republican Senators don’t even have to prove they’re alive.

I've been thinking about this a lot because of all the talk about how Dolly Parton "didn't take sides" and I think she's proof that if you don't want to talk about politics you don't have to, but she took sides with her money & her actions and her side was pretty clear. So is Sheeran's, I guess.

A lot of people have said to me “but why would the government lie about the risks from Covid?” And I’m sorry but the answer is always because capital is valued over lives and they want you to go back to work, it was true in the mines, true on the railroads, true post-9/11, and true now.
