If you haven’t looked at Boden yet it tends to be a good place to find Relatively Normal Adult Dresses though they’ve also been somewhat infected with puff sleeve fever

Also my personal feeling on jumpsuits sadly, I would love to be a jumpsuit bitch but I’m not shaped right (also why I mostly wear toddler-cut dresses and leggings)

Dresses really have been trash for ages though, I wear them all the time but I have very strict requirements including I can’t stand ruffles, tiers, flutter or puff sleeves, or those triangle waistlines that look like a kid’s drawing of a princess. Every one I like turns out to be meant for toddlers

We are in a golden age of jumpsuits Molly

It’s established lore! They also used to go to King’s Dominion

This is also generally true of dogs but fortunately they are easy to trick

Got jumpscared by my own byline

I’m on to Mostly Harmless and it’s more about corporate media takeovers than you probably remember

I’m copy editing someone who’s an astronomically better writer than me and folks it is terrifying (complimentary)

“Ultimately, Magic Mike XXL isn’t a hero’s journey, because it doesn’t believe in heroes... Instead of heroes, sexy dancing. Instead of telling the story of why the king is the king, sexy dancing” How have we had weeks of Odyssey discourse without citing this @hellafitzgerald.bsky.social banger?

You could do a lot worse than “inventing Shakespeare from first principles”

It’s in Hamlet too (and probably more, but “my lord, I think I saw him yesternight” is def the first usage that springs to mind for me)

I used to think I couldn’t possibly have a favorite book because I love so many very different books but this is it, this is my favorite. I can’t even really say why! It just immediately was

Listen I don’t recommend Riddley Walker to just anyone but you’re asking for a brain rewiring so: it is not like anything else, it is (for me) a weirdly spiritual experience that takes place in a world that’s forgotten the concept of god, at first blush it seems impossible to read but it’s not

let me know if you find one

This one’s not very witchy tbh and my witchy book is silly, but Pam Grossman’s Waking the Witch might suit (I haven’t read it so I’m not sure how much it skews historical vs. practical but it’s certainly sympathetic)

Also I don’t want to spoil anything but it’s possible that the entire creation of Lapine is a setup for a single crude joke and it’s worth it

I admire our government's new commitment to honesty.

Famously doing sideshow nearly killed him and it WASN’T EVEN THE MAIN SHOW
