Yep- the bogus summer reading list from the Chicago Sun Times is real. Here I am with it from a few minutes ago.

here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘

the last time we had a recession was a good year for me so i can only assume i'm going to be 22 again for the next one

Yes! I think oDylan had the most ethical response in "Cold Harbor" on how to live with his innie. I also love how s2 deftly subverted a lot of fan theories + even expectations that I had going into the finale. And so much ground to cover in s3—I'm pumped for what comes next & excited to rewatch 📺

Hey @doctorwolfula.bsky.social I'm a huge Severance fan + would love to hear any thoughts you have on the finale? "Chikhai Bardo" and "Cold Harbor" are my favorite episodes this year—hard agree that S2 was darker, weirder, and scarier but just as well-written and well-acted as S1. What'd you think?

I don’t know how to fall asleep. It’s something I’ve managed to do almost every night of my life, but I always forget what I did that worked so well the night before.

You can put all the "no AI" clauses in your contract you want. If your book has an ebook, it's been pirated, and if it's been pirated, AI can easily get it. I'm not saying you shouldn't put those clauses in your contracts, I'm saying your publisher may have no idea your book's been fed to AI.

I kept experiencing flashes of queasy recognition every time I saw Robby Benson as Dr. Mauer — he's older now, but he's masterful at playing an iconic Beast, made more sinister by his determination to trap his "Belle" in this dark fairy tale's testing floor. Creepy, pitch-perfect casting #severance

How to escape your corporate overlords in Severance

Horror movie holiday with my sweetheart

One time I heard an interview with the front man of Imagine Dragons talking about a song he wrote when he and his wife nearly split up and then decided to make it work. It was a really touching, heartfelt story. Then at the end they played the song and it’s just the worst shit you’ve ever heard.

I know exactly the quality-level I'm buying into, but I'm still looking forward to seeing this during its three-day run next week. From my early childhood on, Peter Pan media always held a treasured place 🧚‍♀️

@doctorwolfula.bsky.social Will you be seeing this and possibly covering it for the channel?

Me, before starting writing: "This will be a novella."
Me, while writing: "Wait, is this maybe a short story? Oh, no, it's probably a novel. Or a novella maybe. Oh, it's a short story. No, ok, definitely a novel...la?"
Me, after finishing writing: "I knew it! It was a novella!"

Raw milk is one of those ideas that can really only take hold when people haven't seen a cow. if you see a cow from let's say ten feet or less you immediately understand the problem that pasteurization is solving

If you're so inclined, this Leatherface + your Michael Myers + Jason Voorhees drawings could make for really cool merchandise at TeePublic 🙏

I always make sure to put on John Carpenter's Christmas during the holidays

"Can you believe this? It's Christmas Eve and we got orders to bring in Santa Claus! Hey Miller, what do you think Captain would do if we brought in the real one?"

"He's never satisfied! He sent us back out to pick up the Easter Bunny."

"Or Peter Pan, maybe."

@stardollface.bsky.social I think there might have been an error in tagging you, but I shared the last 2 pages/closing lines from the opening essay in your debut book a few days ago. I was introduced to yr work thru Chloé Caldwell years ago & really enjoy the vivid language and styles in HERE, NOW 📖

"I take a breath, put the lipsticks back in their case, and zip it up; toss it back into the archive of my life before. Whatever is coming next will be here soon. But also. There is an after."

sometimes life is just a lot and you don't get to work on your latest project but you're always thinking about it.

And that too is part of the process

I did look for a DVD/Blu-ray but came up empty, so any doctorly guidance on where to find the unedited version is greatly appreciated!

I watched this with my boyfriend on Thanksgiving Day — super fun, weirdo slasher where we both counted the number of times Terry says "That ain't cranberry sauce" until we exploded laughing. Unfortunately we saw the free, heavily-edited version on YouTube. Is it streaming/physical media anywhere?
