Watching the parade on a delay and I have SO many questions, like
- Why were those Starbucks cups empty?
- Why didn't they showcase the WOMAN singing "I Wanna Dance With Somebody"?
- Why was Debbie Gibson credited as an author, not a singer?
- How long do I have to wait for the Hallmark float!?

If you have ever thought that my journalism or my first book were net positives for the world, understand that they probably would not exist if I did not have a spouse who paid the mortgage. If I'd been a solo earner/parent, I likely would have left criticism, journalism or book writing long ago.
And the folks who are actually writing full-time generally only got there after years of day jobs, family support, or both.
The point of sharing this is not to demoralize anyone, but to let emerging writers know they're not failing if they can't make a living off writing alone. Almost no one can.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.

My most alienating Oscar opinion of the year is that Wicked pt deux is not a sequel but the simultaneously shot second half of one movie and that therefore it'd be weird to renominate the two stars. This isn't the Emmys; you don't get rewarded for the same role year after year. Will delete shortly.

HOW are so many high-powered business people SO BAD at business?
There are a handful of things Target could do to get me and a bunch of other formerly loyal, currently boycotting customers back, and this was absolutely not one of them:
“Target also announced a partnership with OpenAI to let customers shop on Target in ChatGPT.”

I feel oddly vindicated that someone so famous also perches her laptop on the side of the tub when taking a bath.
Yes, I took meetings in the tub during COVID. Camera was always off; I'm not insane!

I know all the lost jobs are the worst thing about journalism right now. But terrible journalists getting powerful roles at major outlets is also very bad.

One way of saving journalism would be to pay journalists money so we can afford to subscribe to each other's journalistic endeavors.

Decided this rain calls for offbeat/somewhat cynical holiday movies so I'm doing a triple screening tonight of #WakingUpToChristmas #AClüsterfünkeChristmas and #SurvivingChristmas.
Normally I'd be worried I'd fall asleep midway through but did you see I had three cups of cocoa today? Check my IG!
