Nicholas Brendon’s is the sixth death of a major The WB cast member since 2024. These deaths come when there is also a measurable increase in mortality in the age cohort that made up much of Buffy’s original audience, and the WB era generally... But why?

Oh man, I got so mad after the ‘common cold’ thing I nearly missed the ‘6-8 viruses a year’ thing….what?!??
Oh, Sophie’s World- time for a re-read! I read it (and loved it) as a teenager, but I’m sure I didn’t fully appreciate its content at that age!
You win the internet 😂

She found a new toy!

Love this winter horse!
Reading threads is my guilty pleasure- the comments are always so unhinged!
I have three kids, and there are *zero* meals that all three like - and that’s not even taking the adults into consideration. Believe me, I’m trying to make things we can all enjoy, but they’re not having it 🤷♀️

New mask chain!
Definitely! I’ve been reading her backwards- started with Yellowface and just finished the Poppy Wars- and she’s amazing! Although Babel will be hard to beat!
Ooo I just finished reading Strange Pictures- really good! Super creepy though!! And I had no idea that R. F. Kuand had a new book!
I’m impressed they waited a whole second…
I’ve been collecting book shirts for years…most recently I bought some from tees.ca, I believe.
Ooo a few on there I haven’t read (yet!)
Two shirts- one says ‘I read banned books’, one is Ray Bradbury’s book ‘Fahrenheit 451’
My clothing feeling oddly on point right now in Alberta #bookban #abpoli

Well, that was a wild read! Thanks to Owl Nest Books for the recommendation!

Recommend! Very funny, and it’s been putting my own current failures on the career front into perspective!
This!!!
Three coffee mugs from various years that say When Words Collide
Just finished 3 days at When Words Collide and I’m already missing it! But now I have a year to keep writing…
Still cheering you on! I will definitely re-buy from whichever publisher you find.
Those sticker books where you put stickers on to make scenes
Oh, I read that article to my kids! I didn’t realize it was yours! Great piece!
My favourite was a review for a butter dish that was written in rhyming couplets. I definitely bought the dish.
I read “on the beach” as a teenager…that was fun! (Years later my husband chose it for our monthly book club- everyone looked at bit stunned at that meeting! 😂)
I was so happy when you moved over here! Also (because I love recommending books) you should check out “City of Likes” by Jenny Mollen- I’m reading it right now, and it’s about someone accidentally becoming an influencer 🙂
Oh my goodness, just spent ages in Starbucks call centre purgatory 😭. Any leads on what number/email to contact to get to someone who in anyway could be helpful?!??
Well, our family had already switched to Good Earth to support a Canadian coffee shop- one more reason to avoid Starbucks I guess!!

When I look back at cute photos of my kids I always think ‘but what happened immediately after this photo was taken?’ (Use, tears and destruction of some sort)
Yes! I was only ever a lurker in the other place!
