My 11-yr-old was looking at something on my phone when my husband texted me. My son saw the text & turned to me to ask, "Did Dad just say 'lol'?? You two are too old to use kid-slang!" He was shocked to learn that "lol" predates even his big brother (my son thinks my stepson, at 20, is a Real Adult)

A moodboard of several images in gold and warm colours. A hand gripping another's arm by the wrist, streaks of gold on white, a distorted image of a round stained-glass window, torn old paper, hands reaching for the moon, chipping discoloured paint on wood, ornate, gilded details on a painted ceiling, a marble statue with a white line across the eyes. Text at the bottom says: "I'll eat the world whole."A moodboard of several images in shades of gold and dark blue. In the middle, a hand reaching for a crescent moon; beneath it, a set of ornate blades; a female lion sprawled in the sand; the tied hands of a marble statue; a golden gate opening to a starry sky; the sea at sunrise; the naked back of a light-skinned person streaked with gold. Text at the bottom says, “I won’t stop until you’re gone.”

The haunted house is not the point. C.J. Dotson's THESE FAMILIAR WALLS is a dual-timeline suburban horror novel that treats the haunted house not as a setting but as a method. Generational trauma, economic precarity, and a protagonist who refuses to look in mirrors

I hope you're having a less panicked-shouting type of morning than I am here, where A SPIDER dropped from the ceiling ONTO MY FOREHEAD and then fell BETWEEN MY GLASSES AND MY EYEBALL and down my face onto my blanket which I have now thrown across the room. Anybody got a flamethrower I could borrow?
