Mary Shelly lost her virginity on her mom's grave, facilitated a lesbian wedding, and carried her dead husband’s heart around in a bag, so, yeah, I agree, let’s return to traditional values.

Telling a woman on the street shes gorgeous or wolf whistles arent sexual harassment. I Just wish we could go back to the early 1900s where women were actually women and didnt hate men.

Anyway, shout out to @jenashleywright.bsky.social for writing "Glitz, Glam, and a Damn Good Time: How Mamie Fish, Queen of the Gilded Age, Partied Her Way to Power" and @ashlieatkinson.bsky.social for narrating. I flipped between reading (with eyes) and listening to the audiobook. Mamie was ON ONE

A 1.5 pages in and Mamie has invited a who's who of Newport to her home to meet a European Prince who turns out to be a monkey in a costume. Unhinged. I love her.

I love doing book reviews for the @nytimes.com, and I especially love it when I get to review something as good as Amanda Vaill’s new biography on the Schuyler sisters. It's a pleasure from start to finish. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/b...

Soo I went into the bookstore to get a gift for someone & saw 2 📚 that caught my attention😊 They now are in my collection of “TBR” Both look fascinating & I can’t wait to read them. Two different experiences but so much the American experience.

This app needs a Mamie Fish. We need someone who throws absolutely unhinged parties, cooks people on the time line, gives poor people money and also can't read and doesn't think women should vote (I'll ignore the last two things based on the strength of the first thee)

I'm married to a former Colbert writer, which means I got to meet him occasionally at holiday parties. This also meant I was the *most unimportant* person at those parties. He remembered my name, joked with me and asked how my writing was going every single time. He's just a really, really nice man.

Whenever I see men post this I think about how when women are lonely, it's not pitied. It's used to chastise them for not being nicer to men. Meanwhile, when men are experiencing a "loneliness epidemic" they decide the answer is *also* that women should be nicer to men.

today, in paragraphs I think about most every day of my life:

Section from Jingo by Terry Pratchett:

And then he realized why he was thinking like this.

It was because he wanted there to be conspirators. It was much better to imagine men in some smoky room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over the brandy. You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didn't then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told their children bedtime stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
