Welcome to Litsy!

It's been a couple of years but finally got Litsy back on my phone.

Let's see if I remember how to do this: American Scary is not a quick read, but it‘s a rewarding one. For horror enthusiasts, cultural critics, and anyone curious about why Americans are so drawn to the macabre, this book offers a rich and thought-provoking journey through the haunted heart of the American imagination.

“ritualistic discharge“ is going to stick with me.

Did this one a few days ago & debated on posting it since it won‘t make much sense to you if you haven‘t seen it, but what the heck. This is from another of my favorite episodes of Mad Men, S5E10, Christmas Waltz. If you haven‘t seen Mad Men I can‘t recommend it enough!

Jaguar, jukebox, drinks —
flowers from Aly Khan; a
plate of spaghetti…

The Beatles and Philosophy falls at the more academic end of the spectrum, despite its pop culture focus. It‘s written for someone who‘s already across the basics of philosophical thought, and an intimate knowledge of the Beatles catalogue is pretty much essential. Luckily, I came equipped with both.

Today‘s haiku is inspired by one of my favorite episodes of my all-time fave show, Mad Men. If you‘ve seen S3E7, Guy Walks Into An Advertising Agency, you‘ll get me. 🤓

The Brits are coming;
never fear, Lois is here!
No more golf for Guy…

I have had this on loop all day. 250 years later, and we're still fighting this. Thanks to all who went out there today to fight the good fight. I got blindsided with a hellacious cold and didn't want to spread my germs, but I've been there in spirit. #resist 💙✊🏻♥️

If you've never seen Schoolhouse Rock, especially this one, it's worth 3 minutes of your time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvOZs3g3qIo

I love Old Hollywood and especially James Dean. Came across this gorgeous pic of him and what can I say, he inspired me. 😬

Beautiful dreamer —
a misunderstood rebel
who left us too soon.

Pelly untangles how most music discovery gets nudged by invisible hands – makes you wonder what‘s shaping your next #bookish obsession. It‘s like #truecrime without the serial killers, talking about algorithmic influence in a tech driven investigation. 🧐
It takes a little extra concentration to adsorb.
