rafe is absolutely unhinged with her amazon reviews. also if you like a little spooky read, she enjoyed the DEMON AT THE WINDOW, which is about provincetown’s “devil of the dunes” https://www.trulyhorror.com/the-demon-at-the-window-provincetown-devil-of-the-dunes

caleb saw longlegs! no big spoilers; caleb liked it mostly. he’s also reading the lord of the ring, which is awesome. caleb is planning a trip to california to go to a movie premiere – the movie that rafe and caleb helped produce, called “art of a hit.”

help keep crowdtangle active so we have good transparency and fact-checking tools during the election! https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/crowdtangle-petition/

and PLEASE VOTE (not for trump). vote local, fight the politicians who are trying to take away human rights, and vote for the president that won’t take away human rights!

– when it comes to reading, I need silence and zero distractions, while others don’t lose focus on what they are reading no matter what background distractions are present. which type of reader are you?
