Margin Note

I loved the Matrix series, specially the first film. And part of the appeal was the opening titles, with the green screen and the symbols, mysterious and alluring. Today, I found that they were actually sushi recipes the designer took from his wife's Japanese cookbook!

This is your regular reminder to MAKE A FUSS. Sadly unless you create a ruckus you will not be taken seriously especially if you’re a woman. Was told a payment would not reach me for at least another month and I have thrown such a fit that they are making the payment TODAY.

You have never seen anyone go harder on gift giving that unmarried professional women in their 30s.

She’s everything. He’s just Ken.

This.

no one understands a woman in her 20s the way billy joel did in 1977 when he wrote vienna

Women Talking just won an award. Somewhere in Mumbai, Luv Ranjan just switched off his television. #Oscars95

literally begging india to have writers in residence programs or at least grants or anything like this. but noooo, instead we get rajnigandha paan masala l7tfest and steel-modeltown l1fest etc. would it MURDER us to have ONE NEA type situation

This old black lady saw me reading on the subway and gave me that smile that old black ladies give when they see young black men reading, and then walked over and handed me the bookmark out of her book when she noticed that I was using an old Doordash receipt as a bookmark.

Feeling sick at the pit of my stomach thinking there's a huge distraction coming our way because the Bharat Jodo Yatra, the BBC Documentary and the Hindenburg Report together have caused massive damage to their 2024 plans.

One of the hardest decisions in a woman’s life is choosing whether you want to spend your retirement years solving murders in the English countryside, haunting a bog, or cooking mountains of spaghetti in a magical cauldron.

Would love an MG or YA book whose theme/lesson is "sometimes your family sucks and you don't have to put them first actually." #mswl I get a lot of "family is the most important thing" books which is sweet and all but... does not match my experience or that of many of my friends

This is how a perfect day looked like in 2001! #nostalgia

inside every woman are two desires: to cut all her hair off, or, having done so, to grow it to pre-raphaelite lengths. these are the polarities in which we live. we are never at peace. we constantly pursue the receding horizon of perfect hair length. our hearts are restless.

@ everyone emailing me

after ordering a sandwich to go, the guy asked me if I wanted some "walking bacon." this was three strips of bacon separate from the sandwich, for me to eat while I walked away with the wrapped sandwich in my other hand. this is genius. all stores need walking bacon

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

You know what sucks? Writing. You know what I love? Writing. You know what I wanna do? Write. You know what I don't wanna do? Write.
