This song is super fun. Goose is good. I like sharing music because I feel like artistic tastes often overlap…you share musical tastes maybe you share literary tastes, etc. You like this song you probably like Rancid Pete. #musicsky #booksky m.youtube.com/watch?v=BrtA...

Just got off the phone with one of my closest friends, a lifelong Green Lantern fan (and English Lit teacher) with our post mortem convo about Lanterns. We talked each other off the ledge. Tears. Sadness. Frustration. Hopes dashed so harshly you can’t even remember what the hopes were…😂

Along with the sexy logs, got this antique crate refinished and shined up. Such a cool old thing. No idea where it came from. #art #artsky #woodsky 😂

Historical facts from the 19th century are woven into the fictional world of Lord and Lady Tinley, adding intrigue and suspense, outrageous personalities, murder, and harrowing rescues—all in service of the Crown and the realm's peace. #Murder #Mystery #Mayhem
19 book covers for the series Crimes Against the Crown, all of them 19th-century-inspired.

Regarding the recent debate about “big words” in literature and dumbing down stories and whatnot… I live with a thesaurus in my lap when drafting a manuscript, if that sort of thing turns you on. #booksky

Rewatching Ted Lasso before watching the new season and it reminds me of how tired I get of morally grey characters, antiheroes, etc. Love having a show with a bunch of loving people who love each other and rarely do petty shit and jesus it’s so damn funny too. My memory didn’t do the show justice.

Odd random post here: I get annoyed with the consistent, casual, basically flippant and accepted use of cocaine in story telling and jokes. I’ve jokingly referenced it myself, but it’s become almost rhetorical, tropey and trite at this point and to be frank, that shit is a demon that destroys lives.

If you want to support your favourite author, but don't have the money to buy their books, most libraries have a Recommend a Purchase" link somewhere on their website. Or a "Notify me if the library purchases this title" option in their catalogue, which tells staff that there is interest.

Oh, look, Mitch McConnell is trending again, thanks in part to posts like these. Genuinely at a loss for what they think Gov. Beshear should be doing. Kicking down hospital doors? Hacking medical charts? Bribing doctors to violate HIPAA?

While people are throwing a fit because Governor Beshear won’t take up a stupid fight purely for optics, this is the type of stuff he’s doing/trying to get done for people in Kentucky.

As someone who twice underestimated Andy Beshear and twice ate crow, I would encourage everyone not familiar with Kentucky laws to give him the benefit of the doubt here. After what he’s been able to do — and been willing to do — in that state, he’s earned it.

@thegodshow.com Special election to do what? Get another GOP in the seat before the general in November? Andy’s one of the best governors in the country, a genuine civil servant, and a savvy fighter. Check his record as our AG before governorship. Shut up with comparing him to Garland.

I swear the universe sometimes… Just showed this film to the partner last night. Last night. She had never seen it, and I hadn’t watched it full through since viewing it in the theater (as a far off twinkle in my parents’ eyes…definitely not old enough to remember this in the theater. Definitely.)
