I love milestones. I’m sure there was something I meant to talk about. Probably the weather? Probably that there’s some dumbfuck this very moment saying, “How ‘bout that global warming” and we’re not supposed to scream “You absolute shitstain, this is fucking global warming. You’re fucking living it. Jesus Christ. When the fucking ice caps melt, the polar…” We could scream it I guess. But facts don’t matter when whatever chucklefuck they watch on fox news made the “How ‘bout that global warming” joke last night and their neighbor said it too and so did everyone they know on facebook which is how you get everyone saying “I don’t know anyone who…” because they don’t understand the fucking algorithm is fucking designed to confirm their dipshittery, whatever their dipshittery.
I’m sorry but honestly I can’t get past the aggressive speed-knitting. I don’t know how anyone is getting past it. Who DOES that at a book event while the author is reading and dealing with flop-sweat and every other thing, and is then surprised not to get a blurb?! She does, that’s who. Your next book is going to be outrageously good in a way that no ghostwritten book or soulless AI-generated piece of writing could ever be and the great news is you get to be you with all those fantastic words inside your head, and all the idiosyncratic, amazing ways you get them out of your head and into the world, and she is still going to be herself, aggressively speed-knitting away, insulting AA in an effort to be famous. Blech. Giant hugs to you and Woody!
Fuck that shed is cold. But I think robes are your brand now. Talking about that awesome photo. I think it should be your author photo, but I'm stupid.
Does a Timehop memory count as a milestone? If so you should love this, two years ago today I got COVID and had to isolate in my room and that gave me time to read your book!!! When you finish this one I will be the first in line!
Also, stuffing Walmart/Target type plastic bags in the gaps in the door works way better to keep the cold air from blowing in.
I think you need to get the fuck out of Oklahoma. Because taking Woody for a good long walk would also be good for you. But that’s just my opinion. Which I enjoy sharing.
That woman is a cunt. I got sucked into the shit over on her profile briefly today and it was insane the responses I got from her fans and then from her. I took a shower, realized how fucking pointless it was and went back on to delete my comments and block her profile.
I know you for sure don’t need to be wading into that shit but once again I want to say thank you for calling it out.
More importantly, congratulations on the milestone subscriber number - you deserve it. You give good content. The real fucking deal, my favorite kind. ❤️
It's been negative single digits here for days. I ache. Warm hugs to Woody. As a brassy former marching band participant, I appreciate a good cadence, and that exends to your writing. Woot for knocking on dipshittery.
I can't get past the aggressive knitting either. Seems like she should have had her ass thrown out of there, and she's extremely lucky you were nice enough to even speak to her after her fucking rudeness---she never should have asked for anything. She owed you an apology, at the least.
I am not a writer, but I used to draw and paint. I can't imagine having someone else do a drawing for me, then putting my name on it, and then taking credit for it--even if the subject was my idea and I roughed it out for them. It would be wrong. I know that's not the same thing, but I don't think I can think of a better way of looking at it. Your heart is in your work, you know? And it's either true or not. That's one of the reasons I love you. You are absolutely all in it. I can't wait for your next book!!😍
I can’t believe curiosity made me log in to threads for the first time... the last thing I want is MORE social media...but how I snort laughed when I sleuthed her out and saw “always knitting”in her profile ... (like, ALWAYS, obnoxiously, never once read the room knitting?! ) Thanks for being decent out loud.
Maybe she could get AI to generate a blurb
Jesus. Christ okay that made me laugh.
🙃

I can’t get past the knitting. I really can’t.
And thank you!
I brought out all of my dormant librarian skills to track down who you were talking about 🤣 in other words I’ve still got it.
Haha excellent work.

I too am stupid. It’s why it’s good there are people who’ll tell me no Lauren an internet joke isn’t as funny off the internet.

That’s a really good idea. I’m using towels because it’s just easier to pull out a couple towels whenever woody has to go out.

Nah. It’s working for the writing.
Congratulations. That’s fantastic. (::::nodding emphatically:::::)

Dude. I swear to Christ she’s gonna end up starting a cult.
Haha Sarah, she's my niece.
Yeah. But she’s a kind of a cunt.
To clarify, I did not write a mommy blog.
Oh, totally. I've known Sarah online for 20 years or so. :D
What?!!? How? lol
Mommy blogs...I followed a friend of hers and through her photography and stuff, we became friends. :)
No fucking way
Way, lol.
Unfortunately. Way.

Your description of your writing methods reminded me of why your column is worth my money. Thank you.
Thank you ❤️
The knitting thing is very tricoteuse.
Goddamnit Dia I’ve been wanting to use that in a sentence for 20 odd years and I fucking blew it.
LOL!
Perfectly executed.
woody is so damn handsome!
People who crochet are much less aggressive. Much less Stabby.
It's entirely your fault that I downloaded the app and wasted like 30 min trying unsuccessfully to find out who this woman is.
According to the comments here, you’ve gotta be a librarian.
I made the wrong career choice, I bet I'd destroy my clothes a lot less as a librarian.
Look for books about the same cult. She’ll pop up pretty quick. Probably knitting.
Which cult? Your cult? My cult? The AA cult? 😄
Haha valid. And I don’t wanna fuck my own google results. Daniella Young
Oh god please don't. She's a lesbian? What? I'm now totally confused. I followed her on Twitter.

lol of course it’s on her bio Jesus Christ.
The older I get the fewer friends I have because people are insufferable Aholes, but when I read you I think- see I’m not alone. Thanks.
