I'm packing up to move and came across this relic from when I was a bookseller at Waldenbooks! What a blast from the past.

It has been literal years since I've laid eyes on my copy of Watchmen. At this point, I assumed I lent it out. BUT I WAS WRONG. CUZ I FINALLY FOUND IT.
This 100+ degree weather makes me want to rewatch Veronica Mars for some reason. Maybe subconsciously I equate the heat with Neptune?
Those moments when a piece of media makes you feel seen is one of the things that make video games, comics, movies—all of it—so magical. I'm curious, reader—what was a character or a moment that made you feel seen?

Nothing slows down my writing more than these unnecessary "suggestions" in writing software. I'm perfectly capable of correcting the spelling and grammar myself, thanks, no need for the extra pop-ups. (Underlines are still good and helpful though.) Finally realized I can disable them! Good grief.
Anti-Prime day is here and @bookshop.org is celebrating with free shipping. I always try to buy my books through them if buying online - I love that part of the purchase goes to my local bookstore.

It's been said a thousand times, but only because it's true: Sevan Samurai is phenomenal. The pacing, the cinematography, dialogue, characters...it does not feel like a 3+ hour film, it's so engaging from moment to moment.
Pretty sure we should start referring to phones like this as #wisephones This isn't dumb at all, I think it's quite wise. Very seriously considering getting one: www.timeextension.com/news/2026/06...

I love the Secret of Mana. So when @christianspicer.bsky.social asked me what piece of media to discuss, I knew just the one. What I didn't know was that Christian would pull off a surprise regarding a fan letter I sent to Squaresoft as a child. I hope you'll tune in for the magic that unfolds...
Formative Media w Christian Spicer@formativemediashow.bsky.social · 2mo agoHappy new episode day! Victoria Setian (@victoriasetian.bsky.social) joins us to chat Secret of Mana! Sometimes a game connects with you in such a way that you have to write fan mail, and sometimes… they write back!
Woke up totally out of gas, but the blank page won't fill itself. Onto my third cup of coffee. ☕🫠
People don't long for "inconvenience." They long for permanence. And though streaming services may be convenient, people are waking up to the fact that we are paying rent-seeking middle men month after month for things we will never actually own.

Parents: no one is prouder, and yet, no one knows better how to put you in your place. Case in point, my book is being used as a candy dish coaster 🙃
Well, I just spelled "believe" as "be leave." When did my spelling nosedive to Lois Lane levels of typos?
I had the most mundane dream: I was seated in the middle seat of an airplane. I put my elbows on both arm rests. The person to my right went to put up their elbow and calmly told me to move mine. I told them whoever has their elbow up first has the right of way. They accepted this answer. The end.

Today I got to write "The End" on the page, and woah, was that surprisingly emotional.
Easter egg dying time! Not my most vibrant effort, but mission accomplished, nonetheless. (And yes, those hose are clean! They're for keeping the parsley stencils on.)
There are some days when you write yourself into a pickle, but the only way out is to keep your butt in your chair and KEEP WRITING. Ya hear that, chair? I'm not going anywhere!
