This is how I imagine JK Rowling when she posts.

JK Rowling says "ha ha.. h-heh. I won! I won!" She sits alone in the dark, bathed in the late of her computer screen. We pull back to see her in a large dark empty room. She continues "I won." Seeing the full scope of her cavernous workplace, she appears small and alone. She says, once again, "I won..."

Wife: Titanic?

All I want is to be rich enough to get on a plane with @thejessness.bsky.social and @malcolmxsansx.bsky.social so we can spend a few months stuffing our heads full of live music in Berlin.

The answer format here has made for some unintended poetry in the replies. Probably a few haikus in there.

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you’ll never watch again, and one song you can’t stand

I cannot hear "A little respect" by Erasure without thinking of the extremely cheesy "win her back" sequence in D.E.B.S. This is a good thing. It's such a ridiculous, wonderful movie.

So I've essentially had writer's block for, god, a decade when it comes to fiction. I can never put anything on the page. But in the past five days I've written more than 6,000 words. Are they good? Who cares. They're on the page and that's more than I've managed in years.

No other song quite captures my experience of life with an anxiety disorder as well as "Free" by Florence and the Machine.

not your dad either, but: you also do not have to argue with old accounts that have avatars and many followers, it is much nicer online when you don’t

yes, even when they’re wrong on the internet

Guys I don't want to sound like your da but we all do have to get much better about not arguing with newly created accounts with no avatar or followers.

This, from South African poet Genna Gardini's "Considering the bathroom scale, which might be fucked", blew the top off my head. The whole thing is in the new Amsterdam Review.

Listen, we are all soft brains straining to translate whole worlds. Who amongst us couldn't, suddenly, just break?

Every so often I'll hear a Whitney Houston song and be overwhelmed by her otherworldly vocal talents and genuinely saddened when I think about how her life played out.

There was a ROACH in my lounge and when I approached, hoping to catch it in a container, it FLEW at me so I squealed "no that's not allowed" and fled to the bathroom AND IT TRIED TO FLY INTO THE BATHROOM and now I have to burn the house down. Hope my landlords understand.

It's all fun and games until I discover that Julien Baker and Frightened Rabbit's Scott Hutchison did a duet. 💀 As if her cover of The Modern Leper didn't hurt my feelings enough.
