Apparently it looks so natural for me to walk around with a huge cauldron that the people at the register were surprised I was trying to pay for it.

It's hilarious when you started a game late, therefore behind in progression, and there's an update like "CRAB PORTAL REBALANCED" I am hitting rocks in a volcano, this means nothing to me.

I find out what's going around on TikTok by proxy when three people independently ask me what McKamey Manor is. Guess I'm the go-to context person for fucked up shit.

The Monroeville Mall is the setting of the zombie classic Dawn of the Dead, and this petition pushes it to become a historical landmark! I signed immediately, as not only its iconic look, but also to preserve a hint of old "mall culture." Give it a look! c.org/VJWBWyH6G6

I often feel like there's a war going on over my books between the readers who connect with what they are and the people in the publishing industry who think I should make them more shit, dumb & unoriginal so they sell more. I know whose side I'm on, and I know I've never been on it more zealously.

We're flooded with nonstop legislation, but focus attention on the SAVE Act. If passed it will be used to crush leftist voters. Married women would not be able to vote if they took their partner's last name (ID wouldn't match birth certificate). Don't take it for granted; call your senators.

When I went to the DMV site to schedule my license renewal, I was pretty bummed I didn't have to solve a CAPTCHA. That's the one place it would have made sense to have to identify a bunch of stop signs or crosswalks.

Do one of the things that makes you feel better, because if you aren't doing any of that, you will run down. Today I did some writing. I'm a writer, & if I don't write, I run down. It's very easy for me to forget this, despite decades of knowing it. And so I am here to remind you to do your things.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Here in the Twin Cities, it feels very different from 2020. After the murder of George Floyd, the enemies were abstractions: institutional racism, police violence - plus we were mad at the kids looting the post office. Today, the enemy is clear: ICE is the enemy. The goal: Get ICE out.

There's also been a shift in character in activism. In Trump's first term, the big actions were symbolic protests designed to make a narrative impact. In Trump's second term, we are seeing actions designed to practically frustrate an authoritarian crackdown on civil liberties.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I stole The Martian Chronicles from my sister's AP summer reading list and read it in one night. The sun was coming up, I closed the book, and those experiences and revelations never left me. I knew the kind of stories I wanted to tell, in that moment.

Something to keep in mind, I learned at Halloween Horror Nights the first aid office has cheap foam earplugs if you ever need them. They came in handy for my fella tonight, so if you're struggling they've got your back.
