THE CHAIR COMPANY season 1 was a masterpiece. Just a bizarre anti-mystery show about a man who might have uncovered a conspiracy and/or might be suffering from three successive concussions.

I came back to Bluesky just to read hot takes on the Chair Company
I wrote about the chair company, the wider Tim Robinson project and how the men are just going through it, especially in comedy

I marvel sometimes that I am constantly chatting with friends in Spain, England, and Egypt and I take it for granted … my Irish writer friend in France made this for me today because I can’t stop dropping “ensorcell” … I told him we should write a fake spell book on the hoary art of “ensorcellment.”

I think something is wrong with my brain. I looked at the full moon rising tonight and said out loud, “that’s so hot.” But really, it’s some gorgeous astrology tonight with the Taurus full moon, after a slimy week of muckraking with that grand water trine.

Parenting in 2025 is when your kid thinks you’re cheap for using the generic box of glitter cards for all the kids’ bday parties instead of buying a $7 card every time. And then watching him grieve like we’re poor cuz I only spent $50 on a gift for the kid he met at camp 🤪

Venus in Libra until 11/6 and I keep thinking about when my son was five and he was friends with a terrible little girl who put him through hell. And we kept advising him not to mess with her anymore, and he said “but she LOOKS like such a nice little girl.” Confusing the beautiful with the good.

Signed a book contract with my hero today … I’ll have to think of a better way to celebrate then wolfing down this wafer bar from Trader Joe’s 🤣. You could not ask for better astrology than today, mercy!

30-year astrologer here and I just like to remark occasionally that micro astro predictions such as these have no precedent in popular media except maybe 16th & 17th c almanacs. It’s like as soon as a new medium becomes accessible to common people, we use it to see if our crush likes us back.

#enyamentalhealthchallenge wherein you just listen to Enya and believe in the New Age and are transported back to your youth in the 90s, and you don’t have to solve genocide or save American democracy or stop climate change. It really works! 😅 I feel great …

Completely failed at getting my kid to choose Cotton Mather for his historical Halloween character at school. I made such a powerful pitch and even pulled out Magnalia Christi Americana. My kid doubted that this was really an important guy. My PhD means nothing to him.

That was a beautiful, perfect internship I had for three weeks before the government shutdown put it on hold indefinitely. So devastated for all my friends in the archive and the chaos this throws them into. This fascist regime is just uniquely STOOPID.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

I think my least favorite take on the Charlie Kirk thing in the witchcraft community is that an Etsy witch couldn’t have worked an effective spell. Put a sock in it, you classist snob - lots of magicking going on in the broader community way below the level of your vaunted discourse.

I think once upon a time the only hot take would (and should) be “poetic justice.” But please, go on with your moral posturing.

WOW. Can you imagine writing this editor’s note? It’s a fascinating day to be a witch - respect to the practitioners standing by the ethics of the lefthand path. Magic is just influencing outcomes that were already in the realm of possibility (America is a gun etc.)

Started my audio archiving internship and my mentor discussed his passion for Throbbing Gristle at lunch. Feel like I landed in exactly the right place 🤩

North Long Beach is a place where I can hate on kale and everyone in the check-out line rallies around me. I was borderline insulted when the checker mis-identified my mustard greens as kale. You only eat this flavorless paper crap because a top marketer decided to sell kale to you as a sort of dare
The Great Kalespiracy
We had a hunch: no one actually likes kale. So who made it popular? It didn’t take long to stumble across Oberon Sinclair. But she was just the tip of the iceberg...
