I think the most “adult who was in a gifted and talented program as a kid” thing I could have done to myself was become an author. Just giving myself endless homework and a need for people to be proud of me forever.

Celebrity deaths never hit me, but Dolly was not just a celebrity to us. She was a neighbor — not literally, but close. She and my nana grew up in the same town in Tennessee. She sounds like my people. Her stories sound like our’s. To take from my nana today: “We were blessed to have her.”

am I allowed to be annoyed at historical fiction novels that advertise one era and then show a completely different era of fashion? Like, ma’am, that’s not regency that’s 1830s. Look at that Cindy Lou Who hair! Those big ass sleeves! 1830s!! Instagram makes me grumpy

A four-panel comic featuring a small black cat sitting in a soft, dreamy landscape beneath a blue sky. As the panels progress, the cat’s expression changes from calm to increasingly wide-eyed. The text across the panels reads: “I wish your August is full of the things that make you happy.” The final panel shows the cat with enormous, sparkling eyes, adding a sweet and hopeful feeling to the message. The artwork has a gentle, textured, hand-drawn style with pastel blue, green, and pink tones in the background.
