1. Enjoy this Twitter thread from a historian:
2. I feel this so strongly– “I’m not earning a break, I already earned it…during the whole year, when I was alive.”

3. Speaking of years, we’re in the last month of this one? This is accurate:
1. It’s a short week (FINALLY) and it’s Thanksgiving. This is the fourth one without Mom and my family has all decided to adapt how we want at this point, rather than continuing to try to preserve How Things Were–which I think is ok. This is how Doc and I are doing it:

2. I have never seen a more accurate graph for Thanksgiving with extended family:
3. Finally, this:
Happy Thanksgiving indeed. If you’re missing someone around the table, I’m thinking of you. If the table you used to gather around isn’t there for you for whatever reason, I’m thinking of you. And if you’re making your own new table, I’m thinking of you.
1. Remember when I talked about Dracula Daily, the project of sending Dracula chapters by email? It was kind of fun to read a novel over six months. Now that it’s over, you can sign up to get Moby Dick in your inbox with Whale Weekly. As they put it:
Wish you could take 2 years to finish Moby Dick without feeling bad about it? You’ve come to the right place.Whale Weekly will begin in November, 2022 and installments will continue for approximately two years in accordance with the passage of time in the novel.
2. I’ve been interviewing at a few places, because why not, and this is just so incredibly tempting:
3. Mayhem on the train set!

The last couple weeks have just been deeply weird…anyone else? I was introduced not as a “writer” but as a “naming girl” (???) and also learned the Department of Labor gets involved if money is missing from your 401k (!!!). What a time to be alive.
1. This is honestly how it still feels being a female creative doing business in Utah:

2. Might as well embrace the witch vibes:
1. Whose land are you on? This interactive map will help you learn.

3. Can’t wait for the time change!
1. It’s a good time of year to read Margaret Atwood’s poem “Half-Hanged Mary,” about Mary Webster, a woman accused of witchcraft who didn’t die from the punishment. The last two lines get quoted a lot, for good reason:
2. Those were the days:
IT WAS CALLED THE SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR AND THEY BROUGHT THE BOOKS TO THE SCHOOL AND SET IT UP LIKE A BOOKSTORE AND YOU COULD GET GOOSEBUMPS AND MAGIC TREE HOUSE BOOKS BUT ALSO LAMBORGHINI POSTERS AND KITTY BOOKMARKS AND PENCILS THAT SMELLED LIKE CUPCAKES pic.twitter.com/1QVQ7cJzVP

3. This is lovely:
8-yo told me tonight when she finds it hard to like someone at school, she imagines them waking up and choosing their clothes, and their parents helping them get ready and hoping they have a good day, and that makes it easier to care for them.

1. Robin Sloan has a short story you can read online (in different fonts!): “Harriet Amber in the Conan Arcade.”
2. Here for skeleton jokes (captioned but better with sound, one use of “f*ck”).
It is October, it is time for me to past this alltime classic yet again.

3. It’s spooky season AND election season. Don’t forget to vote! (via)
1. I just learned about an Italian train from 1952 called “Arlecchino” (The Harlequin) and I want to ride on it.
2. I realized I do this (it’s quilts right now; previously it was soap making and cake decorating): 
3. So very true:
Talk about your feelings, though! It’s Spooky Season, after all.
1. Let’s hear it for freelance life again: Yesterday I took a lampworked glass bead making class (!) in the middle of the day (!!) with my friends, at the jewelry studio here. I am not suuuuper comfortable with gas powered flames but this was a great way to get more so–and I made all these beads!
2.If you can’t go make beads in the middle of the work day, you can at least put your wax-wrapped cheese to good use:
boss makes a dollar
i make a dime
thats why i make babybel cheese wax crab

3. And a reminder from Maybell Eequay, whatever your hobbies are:
…the links are mostly pictures today, but that’s ok too.
1. So accurate this month: 
2. This gave me an instant serotonin boost:
3. The “Wow!” kills me:
i love when NASA just tweets something like “Check this out — space sounds like the wailing of billions of souls trapped forever in Hell! They are calling for your blood! Wow!” https://t.co/VSv3Meql8D
