Deep, deep gratitude to @invisibooks for transforming my lines into such beautiful pages. I am swooning over the design by @MeganFildes. You can buy a book of your very own very soon! Pub date is Mar 19, but A NUMBER OF STUNNING ATTACKS is already making its way into the world!

i need everyone to be on HIGH alert. as this video clearly shows, anything can be cake. A plant, a bottle of lotion, your loved ones, all cake potentially. do NOT trust your senses, the next time you slip your feet into your crocs you could be slipping them into cake.

As long as no one has any follow up questions on why I am reading a magazine called “How to Spend It” I would like to share a particularly relevant, and dare I say, trenchant, excerpt from a recent article

Literary genius #OctaviaButler was born on this day in 1947. “I'm trying to speak--to write-the truth. I"m trying to be clear. I'm not interested in being fancy, or even original. Clarity and truth will be plenty, if I can only achieve them.”
