That's exactly what my response was! She just nodded and said, "Yup!"

Really? I have Ad Blocker so nothing came up.

A middle school teacher I met a few weeks ago said her school had just banned THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE. This timeline is beyond insane.

Pat-pat-pat "Pet me?" says the Dolly cat.

Yeah, a different kind of bears altogether, huh? 😁

When I was three, I saw The Fly (original). The part where he's trapped in the web as the spider is coming for him, saying, "Heelllp meeeee!" To this day, I thank my much older half-brother for coming home that night, firing my baby sitter, and having his friends over to watch TV. 😆

If you actually get a face-to-face interview, do not bring anything except exactly what you need. No drinks, no flowers, no invisible friends. (Well, maybe be invisible friends. Just don't talk to them.) I can't believe how hard this is.

Just heard someone call a Cybertruck a “Klanborghini.” Well, fuck. That’s its name now.

I had to get my badge updated today at work, which meant a new photo. Usually I hate these things. But my smile in the new photo says, "I love my life!" WHO IS THIS WOMAN??? 😂

Absolutely LOVED The Calamities, @chuckwendig.bsky.social. That is, when Dolly would let me read it. That fucking ROOM (you know which one) will haunt me. 😆

Yesterday, I found the SECOND draft of a script-to-novel adaptation. (The script was optioned twice.) I'm stunned to see I'd done this much work 14 years ago and I forgot about it! It's about a criminal who tries to jack the car of a sweet, nerdy family man but winds up jacking his body instead. 👻

It is! And it's amazing! We started reading the books. Mick Herron is brilliant.

I fucking love Ted Lasso. I fucking love Slow Horses. That's all.

Especially the ones advocating that women stop using the pill because it's "poisonous."

The "writers" who've told me this sounded like they were scared of reading something better than their own writing. It was weird.

I'm on a mission, and have been for a while, to read books that I could never write. Not because of the content, but because of their brilliant execution. I've talked to writers who avoid reading because they don't want it to "influence" their work. I want to be influenced! I want to learn! ☀️

OMG, yes! Really looking forward to it.
