🔖 Back on my dark academia bullshit thanks to WEDNESDAY (the show is DA, the character is goth) and so I read this interview with Donna Tartt.

Real struggle to focus today which is probably a combo of getting to bed late because I wanted to keep tabs on how my mom was doing in the ER (poorly but her heart’s okay), janky sleep, and travel anticipation.

Pro-tip: asking questions about why you’re doing the research in the way you’re doing it and what you originally said you were going to do and how close you’re getting to that and what needs to shift and what that shift will look like is all part of the work. 📓

📺 Watching WEDNESDAY and every time Christina Ricci says, “Wednesday,” I’m all, “Are you talking to yourself?” in spite of the killer job Jenna Ortega is doing.

Make a note: 2023 is the year of unsubscribing.

Hey librarians! Where do you get information to help you do your job?

🔖 Read How Wednesday Addams Birthed a Generation of Cynics by Emily Alford (Longreads).

This is my favorite Wednesday think piece so far.

Ricci’s Wednesday was devious, quietly furious, and most importantly, content to be so.

It seems extra cruel that while my mom can’t actually carry herself around on her legs, she can feel lots of pain in them.

The first time I started working on a fic in the past couple of years, I did it in a spiral notebook.
