I feel like telling you what THE Z WORD is a hate letter to might be considered a spoiler. You won't have trouble figuring it out though!

We've talked about your WIP being a love letter.
So what's it a hate letter to? In what ways is it written to spite something?

Hey if writers are so easy to replace with reality tv and computers, why are producers contorting themselves and the system to try to secretly keep them working
This SCREAMS how badly they need writers and how inevitably the writers are going to win

Producers are willing to pay scabs via Venmo and whisk them out of the country to avoid giving the #WGA a fair deal. Sickening. #WGAStrike

I disagree with this take, but the important thing is that we carefully scrutinize each other's leisure activities for signs of personal and cultural failure.

4yo asked why Audrey dies (yes, we're watching Little Shop of Horrors again) and uh... I don't really have a good answer for that. My girl doesn't even look injured. Terminal dishevelment? First-degree drama?

We have two different beers with pink labels in the house right now, and I wish I had the words to convey to you the sound Charlie made when he took a sip of my sour thinking it was his IPA.

One thing I always found frustrating about The L Word was how little they delved into Tina's past as a vampire hunter and how it shaped her as a person

Happy Mother's Day to me: I watched the director's cut of Little Shop of Horrors with my 7yo and she loved it.

I am in the mood to read more incandescently beautiful and perspective-shifting nonfiction. I care less about genre than about gorgeous, surprising prose. Whom's got recs for me?

Charlie, making yogurt like some kind of homesteader: After we strain it we can save the whey. You can use it to make bread, or other stuff...
Me: Yeah, I hear Steven Tyler likes to use it in stir fry.
Charlie: ... What?
Me: You don't know the song "Wok This Whey"?

I'm shaken up and angry after witnessing a hit and run this afternoon. No one was injured, but it looked pretty scary, and the driver responsible sped off without even pausing. It really freaked me out. I'm still trying to calm down.
