RIP and also WHAT variety.com/2024/film/ne...

By sheer force of will I had a good reporting day

I absolutely loved THE GOD OF THE WOODS and am so glad @katekilla.bsky.social did too!

At This Summer Camp, Ticks and Archery Aren’t the Biggest Dangerswww.nytimes.com In Liz Moore’s new novel, “The God of the Woods,” a pair of missing siblings spark a reckoning on the banks of an Adirondack lake.

Gallows humor is fine, doomerism gets you nowhere. It actually matters even more now.

Things are bad but all the more reason for optimism of the will and rejection of doomerism and nihilism. Only way out is through.

Not over. As someone alive before Chevron precedent, before legal abortion, before many things being flipped back in time existed, I can say you can fight this war&win it. Again. &this time, people have sunk costs&reaped benefits where before it was theoretical. They will feel&resent the loss.

The war is over. The bad guys won.

Dear god
