Should I get Taco Bell? Nah, meat's kinda greasy, might not sit well.
I KNOW! I'll get RAW FISH COVERED IN HOT SAUCE!

Today is a good day to tell someone you like their work. You never know what tiny things keep the momentum going 🥰

What my brain read: ASTEROIDS ARE CRUEL. HAVE A GREAT SUMMER.
What the sign *actually* said: AVOID A CRUEL SUMMER. BUCKLE UP.

@technolich Generally if they have to ask a bunch of strangers on the internet, then yeah. I hate that my "news" feed is clogged with them

Well,the Easter Tiger rolled up in his Camaro once again to deliver gifts to good cats and devour naughty ones. Looks like we have some good ones!

Screaming across the hall from me is the best reason for birth control I've ever heard. So much for a quiet day. #HotelLife #ShouldHaveBroughtHeadphones

I've seen these a lot in home decor magazines and always wondered if you could store stuff in them. 1. Yes you can 2. When you exclaim "Holy shit, I could fill this with FANCY SNACKS!" out loud in a store, old people will stare and Millennials will get it

It's been about 8 years since this started, but I just want to point out that 'lacuna' is not a common word.

And yet...

My new magic-er notebook arrived today. Buckle your seatbelts, everyone, because
here

GO.

@leah_beth I've been told on more than one occasion that I'm a scary person to love, mainly because of the intensity I bring to my work. The flip is that intensity is what draws them to me in the first place. I think all writers get that to some extent - we come from a different place.

This morning my account was logged out, so instead of my interest preferences it gave me a random sampling of alerts. In case anyone was wondering, today is not a good day to mow the lawn in Northeast Ohio.

[Jen McCafferty @jlmccafferty1]

I have a little app on my phone that tracks the weather, but also gives me alerts as to what to expect for things like migraines, sinus pressure, allergy reactions, etc based on atmospheric conditions (helpful). It's also been snowing decently since Thur. night (1/2)

@Paleomaster He was two stories up and is not very graceful. I have no doubt this will happen eventually, but likely not end the way he hopes

My poor cat is being taunted by pigeons this morning. They keep flying up and grabbing on to the screen, mocking him as he frantically bats until he falls off the sill. This has happened three times thus far.

@dwbwriter @NewYorker @rachmonroe Coincidentally, that was also the book I was reading the time you came to chat with my writing interns

[Jen McCafferty @jlmccafferty1]

@dwbwriter @NewYorker @rachmonroe Have you read Cast of Characters by Thomas Vinciguerra? It tells the story about the writers and editors back at the beginning of TNY - a group just as vibrant, dynamic, and interesting as the writing they produced.
