Bummer Summer is Back

QUICK HITS
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!

– does anyone know where you can buy a giant zombie cicada costume? asking for a friend. that’s not actually my hht. my question is, what’s an insult you’ve received that you’re proud of?

– cicadas are coming out of hiding after 17 years so they can have sex then die. do you know a person or persons who fits this lifestyle?
– certain breeds of cicadas used to only come out every 10 years in certain parts of the world. but recently they have been coming out every summer. do you think climate change has to do with that? also, idk where you were during the eclipse but did anyone else hear the cicadas chirping during the eclipse then as soon as it was over they stopped?
– I can be the only one who sometimes feels like hiding in a hole for 17 years like a cicada.
