I used to write for @reductress @mcsweeneys and @belladonnacomedy and was Twitter famous for, like, a week in 2014. Now just a mere mortal. Thinking of joining a writing group if you know any.

If we have access to “super intelligence” why isn’t it being used to reset all the episodes of a show to unwatched when you rewatch a show you last watched 6 years ago?

Just watched a video where a creator making decorative gas lighter covers decided to purposefully edit a video to make it look like they put a gas lighter in the oven to bake. Parenting in the age of digital stupidity is so anxiety inducing.

Watching my son do his spelling homework while watching Home Improvement really brings me back (he doesn’t really need the spelling practice, he’s known how to spell all of these words for, like, 3 years.)

I’m only on Season 3 of The Americans and the most unbelievable thing I’ve seen is that they never have time to exercise, yet are just jumping out of cars at the age of 38 and they’re just fine afterwards? At least show them occasionally Sweatin' to the Oldies.

I keep forgetting that I haven’t actually seen Practical Magic 2 yet, because I kind of feel like I did already.

The algo pushed someone (a bot, maybe?) to me who claimed it was inappropriate for a 12 year old to see the movie Titanic and as someone born in 1985, I am proud of my restraint in not explaining that not only did I see Titanic once at 12, I saw it four times and so did every other girl I knew.

Whole family about to head out so that my nine year old can play soccer in a Nor’Easter because how else do you become a Noah Kahan song lyric.

Being 41 is getting excited that your kid is off at an impromptu sleepover, because if your cat happens to fall asleep, you can finally work on your next pressed flower craft.

I miss late 90s TV when it was the norm for a character on The West Wing, ER or a WB show to just rattle off 5 different statistics they knew off the top of their head in casual conversation. You could really tell how excited writers rooms were to have the internet available to them.

I miss when movies were releasing at home at the same time as in theaters. I just want to watch Practical Magic 2 in pajamas on my couch with a mug full of Celestial Seasonings, wrapped in my sun and moon knit blanket, with a candle that smells vaguely like Bath and Body Works Country Apple.

My 9 year old while we’re talking about H.P. Lovecraft and his fictional towns in MA, not realizing he knew anything about H.P. Lovecraft “So Cthulhu has a Boston accent.”

Every time I rewatch Practical Magic, I imagine someone going into a pitch meeting saying “It’ll be like a Disney movie, but way sexier.”

My TV freaked out and then somehow got stuck on a some channel that apparently only shows 7th Heaven episodes? Who is this channel for?Technology could have led us to having so many great things by 2026 and this is what we chose.

If anyone is trying to write a good stress dream, allow me to offer my day: home alone with my 9 year old after finding I’d been purged from the local voter rolls, while prepping for a colonoscopy, as a thunderstorm with thunder strong enough to rattle our windows with each strike moves overhead.

I went to look at Goodreads for the first time in a really long time and while I never understand most of the things people will replace AI with, having AI write your book review for you seems unnecessary on so many levels. You can just…not post a review. It’s OK.

Preparing for a colonoscopy is so hard when you grew up on Wonderbread and programmed yourself to appreciate wheat bread and then you’ve gotta undo all that for 5 days. What do you mean I can’t eat granola???

It’s really a draw following my move from Salem to another town in MA, if I was more excited by the opportunity to vote for Kim Driscoll again or if I’m more excited to vote against Seth Moulton again.

The best reward for sitting through 8 skits at my son’s camp tonight were the counselors who allowed the group of 11 year olds to put on Baking Bread, a story about a baker who started baking 99% pure sourdough because he needed the cash. The whole thing was amazing. No notes.

Afraid to go to bed lest I have a similar nightmare as I did last night, where I dreamt the government had started issuing money in gummy candy as legal tender. In the dream I let the intrusive thoughts win and couldn’t stop myself from eating 80% of my savings.

So tired I almost responded to a comment farming AI and, man, along with everything else, what a ludicrous dystopia we live in. 2026 is such an embarrassing time to be alive.

Watching as my kid falls in love with reading Hitchhiker’s Guide for the first time is really high up on the list of enjoyable parenting moments.

I’ve watched 6 episodes of the new Little House so far and this version of Pa is far too competent and fully clothed to be based on either of the previous versions of Charles Ingalls that came before him.

No one adequately prepares you for looking at your 9 year old kid and realizing that you read your first Stephen King when you were his age (Carrie.)

Had trouble sleeping while on vacation and now there’s road work taking place that started at 4am, just after I had given up on falling asleep naturally and had taken a sleeping pill. My cat could not be more excited about me being awake because maybe I’ll feed him breakfast early.

I’m so much better at Merlin than I ever was at Pokemon GO.

You could set time by the frequency I’ve said “it’s too hot” every 10 minutes over the past 3 days. Sometimes, to switch things up, roughly once an hour everyone within earshot gets to hear “it’s just way too fucking hot!” I fear that I am now just a rapidly melting expletive dropping cuckoo clock.

I feel like if I’m dealing with a heat index of 105 degrees, I shouldn’t also be having horrible allergies. This feels deeply unfair.

The real feel 106 degrees and this $40 cold plunge is already shaping up to be the best decision I made this summer.

Reading Yesteryear and then learning who Ballerina Farm is and then reading an interview that came out after Yesteryear where she answers every question like the character from Yesteryear is such a bizarre immersive satire experience.

Kelly @kellynoonan.bsky.social · 28/06/2026
The year was 2037. I finally got off the hold list for Yesteryear at the local library. Unfortunately, libraries no longer exist, having long ago been privatized, so all I got was a 20 minute AI summary riddled with errors from GoogleMeta’s audio library, paying $47 for the privilege.

Negotiating with my 9 year old what time we’ll do a crossword together before we watch our nightly Jeopardy. Earlier he forced me to do a complicated logic problem where he demanded I had to show my work. I was very relieved I got it right, and he informed me my reasoning was sound.

The funniest thing about my son’s obsession with genealogy has been his switching from watching 19 boys stream video games to watching almost exclusively middle aged 50+ women from the midwest explain why the 1890 census was tragic loss.

Came home to an Eastern Painted turtle in my front yard laying eggs. I only confirmed this was what was happening after calling/texting a turtle rehab and discovering that looking as though it’s pooping half its weight is actually completely normal prep for laying eggs.

My favorite BlueSky/Twitter thing is when I miss the original post but only see the discourse and I just want to say that I, too, miss smoking on a cold night outside of a club at 2am but also lung cancer is bad. I was sad when Obama canceled cloves, but honestly it was in my best interest.
