My Parents Are Dead: What Now? A Panic-Free Guide to the Practicalities of Death — My Parents Are Dead: What Now?
Pre-order the My Parents Are Dead: What Now? book! Available January 6, 2026 from Quirk Books.
www.deadparentswhatnow.com
Kind of a big day for me, folks. I never thought my first published book would be a how-to guide for parental death, but here we are. It’s well-researched, it’s funny, and it’s officially available for pre-order: www.deadparentswhatnow.com/book
“Tax the Rich.” That’s all they have to say. And do, of course—which is possibly why they don’t want to adopt the slogan.
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

This morning I had pie for breakfast and then I drove to Cincinnati to meet a friend and now I’m having a donut for second breakfast. 👍

Eternally grateful to @elenaexisting.bsky.social for introducing me to THE PAINTED SKIN and its sequel (?) THE PAINTED SKIN: RESURRECTION. I love Chinese movie night.

Maybe it’s just me, but since I have 💀 parents, I’d rather volunteer on Thanksgiving than talk politics with my friend’s friend’s boyfriend’s aunt. 🤷♀️

Louisville babes, come hang out with me on December 4 and talk about the people you miss. 🍻
The holidays is, perhaps, the worst time for grievers. Let's have a beer about it. Catch you at Awry Brewing on December 4 for the first (annual, I hope) CRUEL YULE HAPPY HOUR! See you soon, Louisville. www.deadparentswhatnow.com/events/cruel...

Faith in contractors restored by NBD Remodeling. So clear and responsive, so competent, so *fast.* If you’re in Louisville, I recommend them!
I’m starting not to think very highly of general contractors. One said he could repair the damage beneath my shower, tore out the floor, then said he could not repair the damage. So far every other contractor I have spoken to is allegedly too busy. My angelic neighbors are lending me their shower.

I just need y’all to know that hiring an accountant isn’t as expensive as you think, and accountants will get you a way bigger return than TurboTax ever will.
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

I never post aerial silks videos because they are my nemesis (aka weakest apparatus) but today my instructor gave me a tip and I was able to do a foot lock climb for the first time. Take that, nemesis!

Moonraker is a live action cartoon. Once people understand this, they will understand its greatness.
Moonraker has the best character in all of Bond while having one of the more mediocre plots which actually makes it the Bondest Bond film
Moonraker isn't *great*, but Drax has some Goldfinger-ish zingers. "James Bond. You appear with the tedious inevitability of an unloved season."
