@dloehr @OKBJGM Italo Calvino's "If On a Winter's Night a Traveler" and Chris Van Allsburg's "The Mysteries of Harris Burdick" really understood something deep in the human psyche about how the joy of the cliffhanger is the period in which we can fill it with ANYTHING and it could all be true

@JorCru @jbouie my favorite thing about "Shit, Actually," Lindy West's book of film reviews, is that she begins with "The Fugitive," rates it the world's only perfect movie, and then ranks every other movie on a scale of 1-5 DVDs of "The Fugitive"

@AnaMardoll @_ElizabethMay this reminds me of Diana Gabaldon, the author of Outlander, who aggressively hates fanfic and has actually described people writing sexual fic of her characters as a kind of violation or assault; I wonder if perhaps it’s because she feels this way when SHE hasn’t given consent

@NeuroOscillator not sure which thread you are referring to specifically, I've tweeted about tarot a lot, is the question just which decks do I recommend? I like Yoshi Yoshitani's Tarot of the Divine, Sarah Shipman's Our Tarot and Grace Duong's Mystic Mondays the best

a fun fact about me is that I have recurring ear infections that began the day my mother died and I didn’t realize until I read Joan Didion’s THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING last month that ear infections are a common symptom of grief because of something to do with unshed tears?
