Don't mind if I do.

Writing a holiday letter this year but I don't want it to come off like I'm just bragging about my kids so I plan to include one absolutely devasting criticism of each of them.

Danse Macabre: Disney's "The Skeleton Dance" - Bright Wall/Dark Room "The Skeleton Dance," a five-minute short from 1929, contains everything I look for in horror: it's weird, old, uncanny, and terrifying.

"The Skeleton Dance, a five-minute Disney short from 1929, contains everything I look for in a horror movie today: it's weird, old, uncanny, and unselfconsciously terrifying."

Grad school party time

The Pasadena Experience

no matter what the circumstances, democrats are always saving their energy for a mythical future situation where they will do something good

Proud that my husband @zaplazer.bsky.social was there supporting high-speed rail for California.

Fine then

This is what I was born to do.

I love Edward Gorey’s theory of art:

“Art…is presumably about some certain thing, but is really always about something else, and it’s no good having one without the other, because if you just have the something it is boring and if you just have the something else it’s irritating.”

I meant to make a note in my notes app to buy Christmas lights but I got distracted while typing - looked down and realized I’d typed “darkness”

I just described my home's interior design scheme as "someone is running a Montessori preschool out of this haunted museum."

I've been to the Pasadena one, it's great!

I'm sorry but what the fuck is going on here

Ahead of my time

Thank you to the Newberry Library for getting me to the Magnificent Mile just in time for peak tweed season! And the Grad Conference was fabulous too!

Yes ladies you can have it all (moderate cardiovascular fitness and a working knowledge of Peter Lombard's Sentences)

Just remembering Halloween 2019 when one of our neighbors gave the children plastic baggies filled with loose grapes and unwrapped, unsweetened baking chocolate.

Just referred to myself as an "Augustine girlie" in the group chat

I love jigsaw puzzles for being such an extravagant waste of time, the temporal version of lighting your cigars with hundred-dollar bills.

Kids made the mistake of saying they were bored.

Yours was the first name I looked for.
