In this cartoon, two small anthropomorphic trees sit on a living room floor in front of a bigger tree who sits in an easy chair. The big tree holds a familiar green book with a child accepting an apple from a tree on the cover. The caption reads, "This one's a classic. It's called The Taking Boy."

I realized today that I don’t talk on the phone often enough with my brother, because when I saw that he was calling I composed myself to hear who died.

"Pegasus" is not a term for any winged horse; Pegasus was a specific winged horse ridden by Bellerophon in Greek myth.

The generic term for a winged horse is Frankenstein.

It’s 2025 and reading literally any online article requires cookie pop-ups and auto-playing videos and auto-refreshes that knock you off the page or make half the text disappear or includes a comment section that crashes. Like, the internet is clearly getting worse, not better.

If you have the hiccups, I will lunge at you unexpectedly and scream, because that's the kind of friend I am.

Friendly reminder: if I’ve corrected something you said, the appropriate response is, “You’re right, thanks!”

Last week I told my classes: if you take issue with my swearing, focus on all of the sentences where I don't swear. That's the majority. There's something for everyone!

The title of "The Great British Bake Off" had to be changed to "The Great British Baking Show" for the American audience and this makes me so mad I wanna throw a sorcerer’s stone at somebody.

Being Gen X and getting older is depressing. Now, I can barely listen to 10 maniacs in one sitting.

I was at the mall today and they already had white 7-day candles in the western-facing windows to guide the dead and black scrying mirrors on all the shelves and I was just like, dang, Samhain gets earlier every year…

Asking someone for a movie recommendation & then saying, "Oh, I don't like movies with subtitles" is like asking for a restaurant recommendation & then saying, "Oh, I meant can you recommend a Denny's."
