  • Oh my god I forgot all about Mallory Ortberg’s interpretations of monk paintings! I used to love these.

    Unrelated but she once wrote something like “everyone knows that to properly make a bed, you need to circle it like a shark” and the truth of that has stuck with me ever since. Why is my brain like this haha














  • The source material isn’t great. Interesting concept but painful execution at times. The three novels (Wool, Shift, and Dust) read like YA. I stubbornly read my way through them during pandemic but it was rough going and I ended up donating them to my library because I knew I’d never want to read them again.

    I’ve watched the first two seasons of the show, and I think they’re doing a reasonably good job given how mediocre the novels are. Pacing and characters making dumb decisions are both problems, but they were problems in the books too.
