ridiculous and a friend

ok, but when did we start saying "Greenwich" village again? (And what exactly do they mean by it?)

[Bennett Madison @bennettmadison]

Stunningly accurate except I MIGHT give Scoutmistress Lil a razor thin edge over sandra 1.0 ...

If you have TASTE, this is your fave from each season btw #Survivor50

(Now I have to leave Twitter again because I can already feel it already making me insane after two tweets but I don't really know what to say to anyone who doesn't think Helen Dewitt is both extremely funny and totally relatable. )

[Bennett Madison @bennettmadison]

A writer's ONLY purpose is to POST on social media, make PROMOTIONAL VIDEOS, do as marketing TELLS them, kindly BLURB other writers, and be A PROFESSIONAL. Dewitt needs to GET REAL, GROW UP, and DO HER JOB!! And I am NOT going to CRY about it either!!!!!!!!

[cph @cathyparkhong]

I have respect for Dewitt’s work but for $175,000, I would figure out a way to access WiFi. The video requirement is also minimal. Now if she has a disability, that’s on wc to accommodate her. But if not, I’m not going to shed tears for a grown woman who made her decision.

I am breaking my years-long twitter silence to volunteer to give a quote for any article about New York City dog owners being horrible.

A true thing that happened to me when I was a receptionist at an environmental nonprofit circa 2005-2006 is that I got in trouble for repeatedly hanging up on Bobby Kennedy, Jr. (Bc my main job was to hang up on crazy people and it really seemed like he was one.)

[Bennett Madison @bennettmadison]

I won’t go so far to say this is good (or kind to the subject) but it does feel sneaky to call this a “men’s magazine profile” without mentioning that the writer is Lisa Taddeo

[Bennett Madison @bennettmadison]

someone please talk to me about The Bee Sting (or I'll have to resort to looking at GoodReads)

[Bennett Madison @bennettmadison]

Just remembered in the shower that Cher pegged the release of Believe to Sonny Bono’s death!

Sorry but I can't seem to find inspiring LGBTQ+ representation anywhere on this otherwise perfect spreadsheet.

The most annoying people in the world love to say there is no objective difference between good art and bad art

So I made a list of 15

Why is every gay in New York suddenly so interested in Gail Sheehy

[Bennett Madison @bennettmadison]

"Convinced" ????

[Talia Lavin @mobydickenergy]

fondly remembering the time i convinced rudy giuliani i was a girl reporter from the daily bugle

Advance contingent on earning out seems wild to me… is this a new thing?

[Gretchen Felker-Martin @scumbelievable]

I believe in full transparency for employment in the arts, so in the interest of disclosure I was advanced 200k for my recently announced three-book deal. This will be split into four payments, the last of which is contingent on earning out, over a 3-5 year period.

Really need to stop looking at LinkedIn if I want to preserve my sanity/dignity… 🤮🤢

[Bennett Madison @bennettmadison]

Many years ago a friend asked me if a celebrity death could ever make me actually cry and I said no way. Turns out I was wrong!

[Bennett Madison @bennettmadison]

@DavidJMichael I actually disagree with this! 2004 people had their problems but I don't think they were this flavor.....

[Bennett Madison @bennettmadison]

Truly cannot wait till Twitter goes away so I don’t have to dirty my beautiful with the absolute dumbest shit ever written!

[Pitchfork @pitchfork]

Is it truly possible to queer one of the straightest genres of music? https://t.co/w6l0E7VLlz

(But not so entranced by the majestic scenery that I can’t monitor what everyone else is looking at!)

[Walter Kirn @walterkirn]

Once again I find that I'm among the five or six people on a packed plane who care to look out the window at views unavailable to humankind for almost all of our history on earth

[Bennett Madison @bennettmadison]

@nickrizzo Almost like it has something to do with twitter!
