I’m wheezing smittenkitchen.com/2026/07/spag...

Siri: What's the fastest someone has burned off all affection and goodwill?

Very sad to say that I was laid off yesterday along with a bunch of great @salon.com colleagues My time there was short and busy: I got to write about books and relationships and how much gen AI sucks and people being horny for Frankenstein’s monster Some of my faves are linked below

Finally, I want to say a thing: Lynne Freeman has been TRASHING Tracy Wolff for years. When I said that it did not sound like she had made a claim that met the legal standard for substantial similarity, she sent people who were clearly connected to her to whip people up against me.

I am still reeling from the judge saying "notwithstanding Freeman's status as an attorney herself, she would do her utmost to avoid or evade compliance with any court order that she did not like." What a thing to have said about you in the court record.

Judge McMahon says that this case was actually really fucking easy to decide; you just had to read the books.

Judge McMahon notes that the point of the attorneys' fee shifting provision is to keep people from bringing unreasonable claims in the hope that they'll maybe get someone to settle rather than go to court, on the theory that they have nothing to lose.

You may recall the case where Lynne Freeman sued Tracy Wolff for writing a YA set in Alaska where the male lead was hot and broody, just like in Freeman's book. This litigation went on for three years before a judge finally read both books and said there was zero infringement.

Any time someone calls trans people or our rights an "issue" every alarm bell in your head should be going off at full volume

you know what I love is a description of a book in full sentences. paragraphs, even

from the bottom of my heart, 😑

Translation: Kids aren't dying fast enough and in bigger numbers for Trump. Real fucking lovely, eh? www.huffpost.com/entry/live-u...

what is an art style, but weird shit persevering?

so I'm reading parable of the sower for a class for the first time ever and GOTTA SAY it's unnerving as fuck to live in 2026 and see the 2026 in that novel and some of it is just eerily accurate. (not all of it but MORE OF IT THAN I'D LIKE).

Summer Reading 😂

look i had to read this so you do too

This is 1000% why I'm doing the Cloud Atlas project. The ecosystem is making TOOLS for PEOPLE to DO things with but mostly getting stuck on the tools part in explanations. (Also I think there's enormous value in the connections *between* tools.) www.wrecka.ge/launching-a-...

Oh my god (+alt)

maybe you see this and think "wow hannity is pathetic" or "trump is so small he demands obsequiousness even at someone else's funeral" I see this and think it is just an absolute delight that even at his own funeral nobody gives a shit about Lindsey Graham

This is so fucking invasive and creepy and police statey jesus fucking christ This doesn’t just police children, this tracks and polices everyone and hands ALL of our information over to mysterious “third parties”.
