It’s Scary How Many Links There Are: A Links Round-Up

LOL I keep meaning to post these links, and every Thursday evening, like clockwork, it falls right out of my brain that I have ever seen such a thing as a link in all my born days. So much has happened! Angela Lansbury died! Elon Musk might buy Twitter after all! Burkina Faso had its second coup of the year! I hope that y’all are all hanging in there as we head into spooky season. I hope your neighborhoods have lots of good Halloween decorations. I hope that the Locked Tomb fans among you are enjoying my scaaaaaaaaary Twitter display…

When your favorite Narnia book is the racist one: A links round-up

Whew, we made it to Friday once more, friends! I had a weird, hard week, which turned out to mostly be because I was pre-menstrual, but also a little bit because I lost a contact lens that now has to be expensively replaced, plus I have been feeling sad that free Wordle fun times are coming to an end. (I’m happy the creator is getting paid, though!) I’m seeing my sister this weekend, however, and I’m hoping I can con her into watching Yellowjackets with me. We’ll see. In the meantime, have some links! Nasim Mansuri finds a way to…

A Few Kerfuffles: A Links Round-Up

Hello, hello! Once again, we have reached the weekend. We’ve done it together, hand in unlovable hand. I think the weeks and months are getting longer. Has anyone else noticed? I recommend convening a national committee of scientists to study this phenomenon and issue a comprehensive report about how to make it stop. Whilst time is crawling by, the weather has simply stopped trying. I am writing this post on an October evening and it is eighty-five degrees outside. This is ungodly. I have never heard of this alt-lit writer from a time before I was quite as online as…

I Love Television: A Links Round-Up

OMG I am highly blessed and favored, y’all. Literally as I was writing this post, I was complaining internally about the fact that it’s the middle of July and still no second-half-of-2021 book preview from The Millions. I was like, “Forget ‘I love television,’ I’m going to use the subject of this post to bitch about the fact that the lengthy and clearly labor-intensive book preview has not dropped,” and as I was thinking about a pithy way to bitch about that, I opened The Millions to double-check and you will never guess what happened! YES THAT IS RIGHT IT…

Somehow Only One Link about Cats: A Links Round-Up

The last Friday before Christmas is upon me, and there are so many presents yet unwrapped and even one present yet unprocured, which is not the way I like to comport myself. But here we are. Luckily in the midst of all this turmoil and disarray, I still have the Netflix show The Untamed to sustain me, and it is the most searingly romantic thing that perhaps ever has burned itself across my greedy eyeballs. Please hit me up here or on Twitter if you need a show to watch over the holidays. I am happy to give you an…

It’s Been Too Long Since My Last: Links Round-Up

Oops, the holidays happened and I forgot to post links round-ups. I know you have all been suffering terribly without them. My hope is that you improved the shining hour by catching up on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and The Good Place, my two favorite shows on TV. But if you just moped around a-waiting, here’s the goods at last. Black women have largely been left out of the conversation about harassment (quelle surprise). Rebecca Carroll talks about her experience of racist belittlement from Charlie Rose. On the state of Kentucky and the borders of the South. Gillian Flynn writes about how…
