may the 4th be with you! to celebrate, you can watch my new video defending the first two installments of the #StarWars sequel trilogy: youtu.be/CARKIVbne8U?...

#STARWARS FANS WHO DON’T LIKE THE FIRST TWO MOVIES IN THE SEQUEL TRILOGY: for a youtube video, pls reply with what you didn’t like about them! ground rules: be normal, no trolling, and reserve your critiques for the first two individual movies. TIA, i’m scared lol

my long overdue wuthering heights hot takes are out now: youtu.be/1vV8l7V-gdk?...

monday haircare i have a bone to pick with you. all your products look exactly the same and because of this i accidentally bought your conditioner for thin, fine hair instead of curly, frizzy hair. and i didn’t notice until after i used it twice. just make them different colors or something ffs

i would love to know how many people still on twitter are there solely to take screenshots and post them to bluesky, instagram, threads, etc. for all the people who left. like it’s gotta be at least a solid 10%

the stranger things ending pissed me off. so i made a 50-minute youtube video about it: youtu.be/J-fI_Hl_M4w?...

if you, like me, are outraged by the federal government’s response (or lack thereof) to grok’s deepfake problem, click here to read my op-ed about it: www.toledoblade.com/opinion/lett...

i do not like the stranger things ending. i am upset

#StrangerThings has the chance to do the funniest thing of all time: open.substack.com/pub/ariellel...

i regret to inform you that despite hbomberguy’s best efforts, the desperately wanting to be famous to making trash video “essays” on youtube pipeline is still very real

the fact that this did minor numbers on threads and got literally zero traction here goes to show the importance of hashtags lol

LEAKED: sneak preview of Soarin’ Around America has just been released!

the fate of ophelia is so extremely catchy and the beat is so groovy but “keep it 100 on the land the sea the sky, pledge allegiance to your hands your team your vibe” is such a terrible line i can’t enjoy the song in earnest

close enough welcome back shailene woodley and ansel elgort

i’m losing my mind they say in the clue what his name rhymes with, the contestant just says his last name, but ken needs the first name, and the contestant still mispronounces it. then ken says “apparently it’s dome-uhl,” implying he also didn’t know how to say it until just then. incredible

if you’re a drag queen this is for you, everyone else keep scrolling: pls memorize all of “history of the entire world, i guess” by bill wurtz and put on a performance lip syncing it. now post a bunch of clips of the performance to tiktok and watch your money print itself. you’re welcome.

who will they even have perform?? ben shapiro to do his wack ass rap verse without tom macdonald (because tom macdonald is canadian)???

so you agree? you don’t believe in freedom of speech and you want to take it away?

to recap: taylor swift said in a song she and travis kelce were “sleepless in the onyx night, now the sky is opalite,” and this person with no pfp is telling a literal Black woman that she’s not allowed to enjoy the song because it means taylor swift secretly hates Black people

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

the protestant reformation-type schism of twitter is crazy because people who went to bluesky are blissfully unaware of the huge controversy taylor swift is currently in over on threads because they think comparing dark times to a night sky is racist

It’s time to stand up for trans people. tinyurl.com/ariellelyons...

#ThePaper, the new spinoff of #TheOffice, takes place at a newspaper in Toledo. I work at the real-life Toledo newspaper. Here’s how they compare: www.toledoblade.com/a-e/tv-radio...

i saw someone say once that having adhd and getting meds is like being allergic to water and having to get your allergy medication from the bottom of the ocean. now imagine they won’t even let you onto the beach that’s supposed to be open 24/7, and that’s basically what it’s like to restart therapy

After the fallout surrounding the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad, I had a lot of thoughts surrounding how we treat women in the public eye, especially those who keep to themselves on certain issues. Here’s what I had to say: www.toledoblade.com/opinion/lett...

is it disappointing that sydney sweeney is a republican? yes, of course. but is it really our business if she isn’t out here spewing republican talking points and promoting bigoted ideas and mistruths? all we’ve really done here is proven that a rich celebrity might be fiscally conservative

confirmed: i do in fact feel like i need more stuff. and most of my clothes are not unpacked yet

sydney sweeney you can fix all of this and save your career by just doing a ziwe interview

I wrote an album review for the first time in a year! Big departure from last time, which was “Cowboy Carter”; this time I wanted to talk about the reunion of my favorite underappreciated artist, the Swell Season. Here’s the link: www.toledoblade.com/a-e/music-th...

kamala harris if you see this do not run for president. pls i beg don’t do it. ilysm and would support 100% but pls for the love of god don’t do it.

why does this woman name her kids like she’s reading the script of a toys-r-us commercial

me today, packing up to move: god i have way too much stuff. why do i have all this stuff? i need to get rid of all this stuff. future me immediately after i settle in, inevitably: you know what i need? more stuff.

this video took me 6 months. if you like books, long youtube videos, or me even a little bit, it would mean a great deal to me if you gave the video ushering in my return to youtube a watch 💓 youtu.be/GEUIrWEo3v0?...

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

the second day in the last week i’ve felt compelled to use the same star wars quote to protest this administration

oh god i haven’t watched and just like that but this is gonna ruin that show too isn’t it

Americans and Iranians have a lot in common, such as that in both countries supreme power actually rests with a small group of unaccountable theocrats appointed for life.

next time my fox news poisoned dad says cnn is biased to the left i’m showing him this

One lobotomy is not enough to watch the bloodthirsty coverage of this nightmare without going insane.

wishing president donald john trump nothing but warm pillows and lego-poked feet

anyway how soon can we plan a protest against starting another war. like if we all got together at noon EST tomorrow in our respective cities would a decent number show up?

Listen. The only way you can become a good writer is by being a shitty writer and doing it anyways. You can’t magically become a good writer by having a machine do some of the work for you. That just makes you a fraud.

making memes is my coping mechanism 🙃

The Supreme Court contradicted itself less than two pages into its gender-affirming care decision and I got mad so I wrote an essay: open.substack.com/pub/ariellel...

i have friends everywhere. #nokings
