@pesty1079 That moment was just so deeply cringe

A haunted house, but it’s just all of your unfinished to do lists papering every surface.

As a kid I was regularly confounded at how nice & grown up & professional other kids’ projects were.

In my 30s I realized it’s because they had help from their parents/their parents did it for them.

My wife and I are going to be super bummed if we don’t get a good grade on our daughter’s science fair project.

The duality of man: Half of my texts this morning have been about Annie Ernaux & the other half about the new episode of She-Hulk. What a day for nerds of all stripes!

@imagine_enigami @ChuckTingle The Target store brand candy corn has honey, but not gelatin, so it works for vegetarians but not vegans. I love candy corn, but also do not eat gelatin, so I spend a lot of time checking ingredient lists.

Just learned Charles Bukowski used to steal books from my employer when he was a kid. The highlights of being the oldest indie in LA proper!

@markrennie Can’t wait for your HGTV show, Mark

@danasquare There used to be one in California Adventure for Disney-related/pubbed books & I loved it - I’d talk to the booksellers there and get hot tips on park history and art from them

@ClareReadsBooks @AhabLives Oh god, this sums up exactly why having someone else be in charge of our event program is so essential to me. Every event email is out here stealing hours of my life like I’m Westley being tortured in the pit of despair

@QuinnThanks Riiiiiight?

[Katie Orphan @shadowkatie]

Whoa, @QuinnThanks was really, really on to something yesterday. It is like Pepe Silvia all over again.

[Frankie @FrankiesYourFav]

Don’t you get it? There IS no Don’t Worry Darling. All of this is the movie. The trailer, the feuds, the relationship, the custody papers, the press, spitting on Chris Pine, kissing Nick Kroll, all of this is the movie

My first “job” was at my local library… to work off the $100s in fines I accumulated in 6th grade. Thank goodness Libby automatically returns books on their due dates!

[L.A. Public Library @LAPublicLibrary]

Tell us you love the library without telling us you love the library.

@kibblesmith Based solely on my personal Spotify stats: “A Little Bit Alexis” from Schitt’s Creek.

Vroom, vroom bitches

[Katie Orphan @shadowkatie]

@lilliamr @Lupita_Reads Yes, Paradais!

[Katie Orphan @shadowkatie]

@QuinnThanks Looking forward to discussing our charts this week

[Katie Orphan @shadowkatie]

@_katherine_may_ @MaintenancePod I hope @yrfatfriend gets her hands on a copy!

@blgtylr Regardless of whether or not I end up having kids, I would like to stay sexy & fun for the rest of my life. I’ll be the Blanche Devereaux of whatever retirement community I join, thank you very much.
