I never thought I’d be saying this, but here we are: I’m really looking forward to the number from Cats at the Tony Awards tomorrow morning

I do declare!

@sarahdbunting.bsky.social Do you still have your Murder, She Wrote theme song lyrics? I can’t find the EHG episode they were in, presumably because it was for something like AskEHG, which doesn’t get indexed for search

I’m pretty pleased with how I did on catfishing today. The three I missed, I would never have got anyway (what do I know of Youssou N’Dour, Euler, or military aircraft?)

#nowreading AND THE BAND PLAYED ON: Politics, People and the AIDS Epidemic, by Randy Shilts, #malewriter #nonfiction

I’ve seen quite a few ads for musicals which claim that they’re Broadway hits, when the show barely lasted 18 months and definitely did not recoup I feel like it’s only a matter of time before I see an ad for the “smash hit Broadway phenomenon Glory Days”

i don’t always follow online recipes but when i do it takes me 3 times the “est. cooking time” to make

#nowreading SAD CYPRESS, by Agatha Christie #femalewriter #fiction #crimefiction #agathachristie #poirot

A wholesome story for nerds: On Saturday, I was signing books at a local bookstore for Independent Bookstore Day. The store had a signing-palooza with new authors every hour; toward the end of my hour, a woman came up and asked what my book was about. "Dictionaries," I said, and she lit up. 1/n

Marxist Caesar Papist Fusion Everybody talk about Pop muzik

I have a new favourite example of pointed punctuation, from the introduction to Julius Caesar in The Arden Shakespeare’s Third Series “It has been maintained that Compositor B liked, and over-used, colons: it may be so” Hats off, David Daniell

Pitch an unnecessary sequel 11 Things I Hate About You (Unless it’s an adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing, in which case *grabby hands*)

I just realised that the #TunaMeltdown lasted for at least 48 hours. They had a game the following day, so Shane won’t have been having/still spiralling over lunch in Montreal with his parents until the day after that #HeatedRivalry

Just my luck. I’m finally making progress in therapy and some dipshit in America has decided to start a potentially world-ending war 🤷🏼

As if we needed more evidence that we’re in the Bad timeline, people are now going to have to convince computers that they’re being friendly On a related note, @theverge.com, it’s a fucking chatbot. It doesn’t “live” anywhere, because IT’S FUCKING SOFTWARE

TIL that it is actually possible for real people to cry that much in therapy I just always assumed it was exaggerated to make it seem more dramatic on telly

Your outdated music references both shake my nerves, AND rattle my brain

Can’t. Livin’ la vida loca

Can’t. Pushing pineapple and shaking the tree

Can’t. Banging a boomerang

I just realised that, in the photoshoot scene, the reason Ilya keeps laughing is because he can’t believe he’s actually managed to scam the opportunity to look right at Shane’s pretty pretty face, and get paid for it! #HeatedRivalry
