I CANT WAIT TO SEE IT EVEN MORE NOW 🫨

I can’t believe I’d never heard of Wiseman, because “realist” docs are my favorite kind (didn’t even know there was an officiaI term for it tbh). Remedied that today with “Welfare,” which I’m still processing, but was instantly miles ahead of most docs I’ve seen. Can’t wait to watch more…

Idgaf about Heated Rivalry, but this excellent, thoughtful piece from @thefrankiedlc.news on fandom & privacy for athletes goes way deeper on the problems of heteros shipping real people w/ real lives—particularly queer/queer-presenting athletes—for their own personal headcanon is a great read:

Introduced my Zoomer coworker to Surya Bonaly’s backflip & Aretha Franklin’s live performance of “Nessun Dorma”—both from 1998, incidentally. My (precious angel baby) coworker: “That’s the year I was born!” 🫠🫠🫠 Someone has to educate these children! You parents are doing these kids dirty!!

PLEASE GOD HOW DO I GET ONE OF THOSE PRECIOUS STUFFED PIEROGIS TEAM POLAND CONTINUES TO FLAUNT

Age verification? I know how to use a rotary phone AND still remember my home phone number from 1986.

I am hopeful for the Today Show co-host’s mother to be reunited w/ her family healthy & unharmed, but is an Instagram video response from said co-host really a “top story of the day”, news podcasts? Why is this family being forced to endure the worst moments of their lives publicly?

Summer Olympics = Sexy Almost-Naked Games Winter Olympics = Extreme Possibility of Mortal Danger Games Just doing a sport on a frozen surface has the potential to slip, fall, crack your skull, and die. Add shoes with blades, big sticks, and giant sliding stone donuts: ah, the true spirit of sport!

They Live was a documentary.

This whole interview is an absolute gold mine of Hollywood broligarchy cluelessness, but “I do see a real similarity there” and “Part of your job, or our job” absolutely SENT ME 💀💀💀

Is it 2027 yet? 🫠

Real-time view of me hunkering down for this here snowpocalypse:

Introduce yourself with five concerts you’ve seen: (this is HARD for me—I’ve been really lucky to see a ton of amazing artists) Fleetwood Mac (the full lineup) Yeah Yeah Yeahs Aretha Franklin Wu-Tang w/ Run the Jewels Madonna And coming March 2026: PEACHESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

Why on EARTH would I need or want to go “live” on Bluesky? What does that even *mean* on a text-based app? Anyone want to watch me type out and then delete 9 of every 10 skeets I write?

One more reason to love Germany, tbh!

I don’t want to return to normalcy and bipartisanship. I don’t want to break bread with these gutless pigs and slobs. I want to defeat them, to beat them back into the cultural backwaters in which they belong and then erect an airtight cultural barrier around them so the rest of us may finally live.

idk where these chuckleheads get off expecting us to listen to single podcast episodes 2+ hrs long! I can’t deal with work meetings that go longer than like 45 min; I’m can’t listen random blather about ANY topic for that long in one sitting. Who has time/attention span for this?? Under 30 min, plz!

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

Kicking off our sorta-annual New Year movie marathon, celebrating the one & only @realgdt.bsky.social, starting with his 1992 debut CRONOS: a little rough around the edges (mostly due to age) but still so fully realized & lovingly crafted it could only be a GDT joint 🎬 #moviesky #filmsky

I still read and this is absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 from @sarahjeong.bsky.social at @theverge.com. “Post-literate” is the most accurate term for our society and “wordcel” is the best descriptor of Ezra Klein et. al. ever coined. This passage is especially, and terrifyingly, accurate:

Deep Elder Millennial cut here, but first to mind is Ludacris’s “Get Back” video, directed by Spike Jonze: 💪🏾 Giant Popeye Arms 😂 Actually funny but also v dumb 💖 Thicc babes in pink tweed suits yeeting dudes & riding ATVs 🎤 An undeniable jam for the past 16 YEARS JFC youtu.be/5yt849wJyVk?...

Another recently-finished read: Brutalist Berlin by Dr Felix Torkar. It’s a quick & snappy guide to the most important brutalist/brutalism-adjacent structures still standing in Berlin. Selfishly, I read it because my novel takes place in a brutalist structure in 1990s Berlin. 🤗 #booksky

Being called “Lardass Leigh” in the 7th grade because I had a big ass & wide hips before they were mainstream “popular”, along with audible beeping noises whenever I had move backwards/turn sideways between desks/tables due to my big ass & wide hips. I was 12 years old. Fuck them kids.

I ate lunch adjacent to Eric Andre at DV8 Kitchen in Lexington KY before seeing him perform a couple hours later and he drank a bunch of ranch dressing and I learned I am decidedly not quite his target audience

Okay y’all—who’s on @thestorygraph.com? I switched from the bad app last year and kind of fell off my reading goals this year, so I need some people over there for inspo! Same user name there: app.thestorygraph.com/profile/grrl... #booksky #writesky

How I’m walking out of 2025:

“Formidable” is now my ultimate 2026 power word, both in English as well as French—sums up pretty much everything I aim to be, in the next year, and beyond! 😎

Another fine stack for my 2025 #bookmas! Two new novels from two of my favorite contemporary authors, Lily King and Sarah Perry, plus Josephine Baker’s newly-translated memoir and the art history book I’ve been DYING to read for ages. Gotta get back on track with my reading in 2026! #booksky #tbr

Today I learned that in Germany Santa Claus is called “Weihnachtsmann” which literally translates to Christmas Night Man, and I love that. 🎅🏼

Just finished @judedoyle.bsky.social’s fantastic DILF in a single afternoon & I might just read it again tomorrow or the day after. I’m not trans or nonbinary, but I am a gender-nonconforming feminist & I feel more seen/hopeful than I have in a while. However you identify, you should read it. #books

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a GIF; no Stars (Wars or Trek), LOTR, Marvel, Disney (animated or otherwise), or Pixar:

Me whenever Ace Austin shows up on #aewdynamite or #aewcollision (IYKYK… them pants ain’t ever gonna be ready 😉) #quads #legdayeveryday

There have been SO many in my life as an unrepentant hater, but at this moment it’s my current HR nemesis who I know loathes me just as much as I do her, much as she pretends otherwise. Maybe she’ll do one on me and we can have dueling series… (mine will be 100x better, obvs)

Coming in for a landing in an old colleague’s hobby plane after he did a g2 barrel roll—literally the only time I’ve ever used a barf bag in flight, and I still got it mostly on myself and his headset microphone 🤢

Respond with the same actor as a hero and villain.

The only thing new about this is the use of AI—at my last agency we had to create dozens of different combos of headlines, body copy, graphics, CTAs for a single banner ad, and then those would be configured and displayed based on the user data. 1/

Welp, just had my first instance of having to fix (aka completely redo) someone else’s workslop 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

When did it become required for me to give a single solitary fuck about EBITDA? Is it a function of working for a public company that I have to hear this stupid fucking term every other day? Is it really just a fancy financial term to justify future enshittification?

Nothing but respect for MY CEO

🔥🔥🔥 Extremely hot take: Airplane seats shouldn’t recline! 🔥🔥🔥

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life, it’s this: Always—always always always ALWAYS—pee before you leave the brewery! #craftbeer

The only review you need tbh 👇🏻

So we’ve been RTO at my job now for four months, and the only thing it’s done is compel coworkers to come in when they’re clearly getting sick and should work from home. It sounds like I work in a TB ward right now; my skin has been actively crawling for the last two weeks. Loving the synergy!

THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SO MUCH THIS

I love our eternally deranged Antoinette Storm as much as the next sicko, but I am SO extremely glad our once and future champion Jamie Hayter is back with a vengeance! Let me chug all that refreshing, hydrating, hard-hitting Hayterade! #AEWDynamite

The triumphant return of Mortimer B. Mortos, Esq.! #AEWDynamite

I’m watching #AEWDynamite live on my hotel room TV and I deeply, DEEPLY miss hearing Taz and @shutupexcalibur.bsky.social’s break/PIP banter 😭
