This week, I'm digging into fall stuff and planning for Halloween, but also celebrating my first nonfiction sale - a Christmas story.

Y'all, I'm in a Chicken Soup book!

-------

I was actually really worried about this story. My dad feature prominently and he had no idea I even wrote it until I placed an author copy in his hands this weekend. I think that's the scariest thing about memoir pieces - the potential reaction of those you have written about.

It turned out okay - he liked it anyway, and the family passed it around to read. Certainly a better reaction than when my romance came out, my parents read my author profile, and then i got a phone call demanding to explain why i hadn't told them I was queer.

2. I remembered yesterday after work, I had a bad car accident about 10 years ago, at this intersection, with my daughter 😞 we were ok but it was a little traumatic 🙏🏼

3. I use to love buying cut up fruit , before I watched Poisoned on Netflix, you ALL NEED TO WATCH THAT DOCUMENTARY and no Perdue isn't the best either 😮‍💨

The Bell Jar (Sylvia Plath) "The book describes a depressed young woman who feels alienated from the misogynistic world and expectations it puts on her. She cannot understand the motivations of people to live, and in turn people do not understand (or acknowledge) her struggle with mental health and sexism."

But You Didn't (Adapted from Merrill Glass) "While the original version is more focused on grief, it has been reworked several times over the years. This version appeared in Chicken Soup for the Soul, and is more in line with the themes of the Lonely. [Link]

This version of the poem has the narrator repeatedly ask one of his parents to play with him, ending each request with the words "but you didn't." It ends [SPOILERS BELOW CUT]"

"My country called me to war; you asked me to come home safely… but I didn't!"

Redbox, which was inexplicable owned by Chicken Soup for the Soul, is officially dead, as the mismanaged parent company had been forced into dreaded Chapter 7 bankruptcy this summer. Which is when your company is so bad at money that a judge says you have no chance in hell of ever digging yourself out of the hole you dug yourself into, and all your shit has to be sold to try and pay your debtors something.

This includes the 24,000+ giant Redbox rental kiosks that everyone brilliantly built into the walls of their stores.

Most of the blame for this seems to fall on one of the owners, who was acting CEO. A guy whose wife was also a board member, and they decided to save money awhile ago by just not paying anyone. This, after they spent hundreds of millions of dollars buying up a whole bunch of already-failing streaming sites and production companies. Because a big pile of garbage = profit? Somehow? Or very much not? They took the company public in like 2017, and it almost immediately turned into delisted junk stock.

This guy has a history of failed companies left in his wake; but I guess being rich means no one thinks to ask if you're actually shit at running businesses before they sell you one.

The man is 70 years old. I don't think he's going to get better at this.

Here is a softball Deadline interview with the dipshit from 2022, where he talks about how he's secretly a business genius even though he looks like an idiot and Wallstreet agrees that he's an idiot, and also how he thinks Roku is shit and doomed.

Maybe the elderly man who is bad at money and clearly doesn't understand the contemporary media landscape was a bad horse to bet on.

These crumpled construction barrels at my intersection speak to me in Bible verses for some reason.

“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So, keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.” | Marilyn Monroe |
