Instagram especially feels like it's trying SO HARD to kill the social part of social media and it fuckin SUCKS BRO. Also people do not get me on there :(

The problem that I'm having with the Internet right now is that I don't feel like I have SOCIAL media anymore. I can't find that natural camaraderie anymore, the back and forth and mutuals becoming friends and the CHATTING. The closest I get is Instagram, and even that is a struggle.

Anne Carson is such an excellent writer and poet but I love that a huge part of her work and legacy is that she's also an (excellent) translator

This is so funny because I just assumed she had written an article saying that 5 years ago and I had missed it (and then didn't bother to check because who cares)

The thing about the NHJ article is that she's been my enemy for like 6-8 years at this point but like this IS a complex problem and there IS no easy answer!

RIP Ishmael Moby Dick, you would have loved editing Wikipedia and then getting your edits deleted by other, increasingly annoyed, Wikipedia Editors for being wrong

I WAS 6, so the timeline is a little fuzzy, please excuse me if I'm wrong about when the towers went down

ellen @iwishiwasafinch.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

On 9/11 I had an eye doctor appointment so I was still at home when the planes hit the towers. My mom was watching it on the tv and crying & then just like... took me to the eye doctor? They were playing the footage in the waiting room too. I think the towers fell WHILE I was getting my eyes checked

Had a dream last night that the dumb Netflix show Ginny and Georgia had an absolutely egregious product placement bit for the new flip iPhone, so if either Ginny and Georgia or Apple wanna hire me, I do have a whole scene already written

Reading Moby Dick rocks so hard, Ishmael will be like "hey here's a fact" with a footnote indicator and then you look at the footnote and and it's like "this fact is actually not true"

Trying to articulate why an academic dunking on a Nolan blockbuster feels embarrassing and best I can do is if I got really worked up about the canon inaccuracies of Sherlock Gnomes

I actually don't care about Ariana's or any of these other celebrities' health it just makes me feel so so sad about our culture of skinniness and the politics of women's bodies and I think it's awful and I don't want to live in a world like this
