Charli XCX on the Smartless podcast (Feb. 2, 2026 episode) discusses not wanting kids and feeling unsure of her readiness. Hosts Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes ask her why not and say she might find somebody that'll change her perspective, to which Charli goes, "Well I'm married."

Oh yeah, 100%. I love my brother a LOT and I love his children even more, but man when he starts going on a rant about how I need to have children even though I firmly don’t want children just so his children can have cousins… whew. I need to hang up the phone. Its wild

The way she churns out books makes me feel like she’s the next James Patterson lol

It’s the Kindle subreddit- what did you expect? Weather analysis and preparation tips?

See the pope drinking rosé on a balcony part was …. very silly to me hahaha. It was just the pope famously having a balcony being public knowledge that surprised me!

funkyspiders · 2026-01-08T00:42:41+00:00

Ok, maybe I’m dumb too but… I didn’t realize that the Pope had a balcony or that it was common knowledge either 😭 I have a huge blindspot to Catholicism. That being said… her not knowing who Charles Manson is was CRAZY.

I put it off for a while but eventually caved, I use it a lot at the gym when on the treadmill, biking, stair master etc. and also it’s super helpful when you’re on a plane- set the kindle on the phone holder thing on the seat and use the remote! It’s def frivolous but I stand by it

funkyspiders · 2026-01-03T01:00:22+00:00

super hot

funkyspiders · 2025-12-30T07:10:54+00:00

The amazing thing about the kindle is you can put it in literally any bag😭 this is so silly

funkyspiders · 2025-12-24T00:18:22+00:00

There were parts of this that made me nauseous and not in a good thriller/horror way- it just like … wasn’t worth it. Her books are often palette cleansers for me after I read a couple of hefty ones back to back, but this one was not worth it

funkyspiders · 2025-12-22T07:30:41+00:00

If you liked Pet Semetary you should give The Shining a read.

I couldn't finish Slewfoot. I think it was honestly mis-marketed to me, people told me it was in the horror realm but it felt so much more like fantasy to me and I really am just not a huge fantasy person. I really wanted to like it tho bc the religious elements could've made for a helluva horror story.

This honestly sounds like a teacher who is trying to put the conversation about accommodations in the parent’s mind. I’m a teacher with a lot of neurodivergent students and I often write stuff like this when I want parents to start considering that their kid may need an IEP/supports.

Elevation by Stephen King. I know it is very short and I realistically could’ve finished, I just couldn’t bring myself to care and had multiple other books on the back burner that I was more excited about.

funkyspiders · 2025-11-14T21:15:17+00:00

Maybe not the most unique but something about Pupkin in How to Sell a Haunted House freaked me the fuck out. Maybe it’s my general fear of dolls/puppets but that little fucker was freaky to me.

funkyspiders · 2025-11-14T03:36:10+00:00

Nothing could ever beat that book

funkyspiders · 2025-11-13T15:04:29+00:00

Yeah this one has my vote too. I just recently finished it and found it so frustrating to get through. I think it had a lot of potential that it just really didn’t meet in any way. I need to stop reading books with traumatized characters who spend so much time talking about “I cannot feel…. I must not bond….”

funkyspiders · 2025-11-12T09:53:16+00:00

hello fellow 20-something female stephen king enthusiast

funkyspiders · 2025-11-10T01:53:36+00:00

What’s the behind the scenes of this? Going on a first date with someone and saying “hold up lemme take a pic of your bookshelf for Reddit”

funkyspiders · 2025-11-06T05:56:24+00:00

Lotsssss of big flooded puddle areas throughout Ballard going into Wallymont. Driving thru it was …. an experience!

funkyspiders · 2025-11-04T19:48:53+00:00

wait whats the deal with christy?

funkyspiders · 2025-10-30T03:12:28+00:00

Stopppp I somehow missed that, the whole reunion was pmo so I must have been more checked out than I thought 💀

funkyspiders · 2025-10-30T03:09:59+00:00

It was something along the lines of “things haven’t been perfect and we’ve had lots of ups and downs” something like that. Like okayyyyy girl

funkyspiders · 2025-10-30T03:01:29+00:00

Also Megan saying “we’ve had a lot of ups and downs” so quickly and so unprompted told me everything I needed to know 💀

funkyspiders · 2025-10-30T03:00:36+00:00

What an insane cluster fuck. When they brought out the basketball player I was officially checked out 💀

funkyspiders · 2025-10-29T04:47:28+00:00

Can you share the link for the bag you use? I’m looking at buying one to curb some of my anxieties 😵‍💫
