writer and editor and whatever. aging goth getting weird with it. NYC by way of TX. she/her. no terfs, no swerfs.
the thing about family is that you actually don't owe anyone who is shitty or cruel to you anything, even if they share some of the same genetic quirks and mental illnesses as you! I apologize when I fuck up, and even when I don't! I should apologize LESS, frankly!

gonna try futzing with the Apple Pencil and Ulysses app to see if writing on something that is neither a pen and paper journal (unreadable, never to be seen again, goodbye forever) nor a laptop (work! argh!) will unlock something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Free college, free healthcare, free energy. All possible. All doable. All need to be on the table next election.
Someone keeps enrolling me in the NY organ donor program and I don't appreciate it, to be honest.
Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 6d agoPeople still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.
this is maybe the first Sunday in a few weeks or months that hasn't been too hot or gross or I haven't felt too icky to be out in the world, so naturally I'm people-watching at the Tompkins square riots anniversary party and it's a goddamn delight.
"The only other scene I remember from this movie was super violent and NOT horny, I am just telling you." the perils of cohabitating with a former film journalist.
Ok I think we've seen two of the three most shocking scenes in this movie and I made sure Rufus paid full attention so my work here is done. if you know, you know.
jenni@msjennimiller.bsky.social · 4d agoWe went straight from Hated: GG Allin (I want to read some college papers on the throughline between this and Joker and its sequel) to The Paperboy, which I haven't seen since the screening full of absolutely gobsmacked journalists.

guys I stole this from @rufus-hickok.bsky.social it was something he said to me last night! I'm the worst.
jenni@msjennimiller.bsky.social · 4d ago"everyone is a death doula these days" is definitely the best thing anyone has said to me lately that could also be the beginning of a short story.

one of my neighbors is a woman in her 70s or so who gives me the scoop on the different rec center pools in our neighborhood , and I love her.

New York City friends! The LES cat cafe Koneko is closing tomorrow and needs urgent help rehoming some kitties. This place was very cute and took good care of their cats. Tell cat curious NYC friends that there are kitties that need some homes. www.instagram.com/p/DbbfOxcGu1V/
if you send me a video of Coil performing, I will reply like Beavis and Butthead "butts heheheheheh." that's a jenni promise.
sorry I can't resist making a joke about how darkly humorous it is to jump through so many hoops to try and get treatment for treatment-resistant depression to the very people who are ostensibly going to give me that treatment but are making it incredibly difficult (along with insurance) to do so.
The cat just drew a tarot card revealing that their human is going to toss a hair tie for them to play with... phew!
this question is above my pay grade but interesting.
Rufus Hickok@rufus-hickok.bsky.social · 6d agoCan we talk for a second about how the two best movies I've seen this year, "Is God Is" and "Motor City," are ones that *nobody* I know heard about until I told them? Are distribution companies relying that heavily on streaming?
important news: Iggy let me cuddle him like a chonky lil teddy bear while I was snuggled under a weighted blanket on the couch.
running punchboards in chicago or selling schmattes if I had to guess
Revan@revan.eurosky.social · 7d agoEnough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?
I have no clue who needs to see this but start writing again.
this is a somewhat heartening follow-up about the Oakland bookseller being evicted and his collection of rare occult books finding a new home oaklandside.org/2026/07/29/s...
Sold! Oakland bookseller finds new home for 13,000-volume esoteric collection
After The Oaklandside covered Todd Pratum’s looming eviction, dozens reached out to help. One inquiry from Los Angeles caught his eye.

whoever is running news sites and going, "some asshole is in the grocery story googling, 'are apples safe to eat right now?'" and then writing that news story?? thank you.
I'm just thinking about men being tender with cats and it's making me emotional.
