My mother has requested five football jerseys from me. Kylian Mbappé Jude Bellingham Lamine Yamal Bukayo Saka Nico Williams

Do I want to know why people are making jokes about being raptured? I'm guessing that the answer is no. I'm just going to assume that a lot of people are currently reading The Leftovers.

I finally watched Superman (2025) while my friend was staying with me. This was what right-wingers lost their shit over? I'm not a comics person, and even I know that that was normal Superman shit.

I learned this from the Song of the South season of You Must Remember This.

Watching the Netflix documentary about The Biggest Loser. What a fucking mess that show was.

The thing about being the token straight friend is being very respectful when your friends take you to queer spaces.

Everyone born and raised in the Boston area knows that that family has bad juju.

Was at a seven-year-old's birthday party earlier. It was fun to remember how happy a juice box and a piece of cake with a frosting rose used to make me.

I want to push an actual button and not a touchscreen.

Going to spend this weekend introducing friends to other friends because we all need human connections right now.

The post-wedding landscape is that it's lovely to see people declare their love for each other, but also my calves are killing me because heels.

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

Wedding time!

I've watched a lot of documentaries about the mafia in America recently, and it really feels like the executive branch of our federal government is running a protection racket.

Did Disney really think that an industry with unions that went on strike for several months two years ago wouldn't be incensed by this?

Karl Rove talking sense is turning my brain inside out as someone who turned 18 in 2001.

We're going to have another shot of tequila.

A friend is visiting and we're having happy hour at a place where a mutual friend work. We were gifted tequila shots. This has, of course, led to me exclaiming "PEOPLE USED TO HAVE CHEMISTRY!" about Redford and Streisand in The Way We Were.

Not a work thing, but I've gotten into talking to friends on the phone again like it's 1998, and it's healing and soothing in these times.

In other wedding things, I went through my many pairs of earrings and chose the pair I'll wear on Thursday. Also chose the fancy purse (a birthday gift from a friend that I rarely carry because fancy) for the event.

Many will have a more comprehensive look at his career. I wanted to do something short on the elusiveness he gave to his characters that made them interesting conundrums rather than a blank No role exemplified this better than 1973’s “The Way We Were." Hubbell, you absolute coward! Gift 🔗

Just got a manicure ahead of attending this wedding. Since I have another ten minutes where I'm not allowed to have my nails even look at a surface, I'm sitting here bopping along to this. open.spotify.com/track/4r9Ffs...

Was thinking that I'd watch Three Days of the Condor first, but I might start with The Old Man & the Gun, which not enough people saw, instead.

I told my mother about this, and we agreed that ten-year-olds are some of our strongest warriors. They will not let shit go.

Maybe take the parents not allowing their children to get these vaccinations on a field trip through old cemeteries where you can see how many young people are buried in them.

Have tried on the *now tailored dress. Perfect amount of taking in at the waist. Left the hips as they were because I like the flared skirt.

Had to pick up my niw tailored dress for the wedding so decided to do my grocery shopping for the week at the Trader Joe's near the dry cleaners.

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

Today in Texts (that I sent): "Catching up on the Emmys. The Studio reminding everyone that Hollywood LOVES stories about Hollywood. And I really liked The Studio but lol."

KINGS!

I just saw this trailer for a documentary about the Lilith Fair for the first time, and I SCREAMED. youtu.be/qxXhgxKEols?...

Called my mother and told her to stay home right now. UMass Boston Given the All-Clear After Reports of 'Public Safety Threat' share.google/pK6p2wbvh0Ep...

I'm not at all shocked that this is happening.

I know today is obviously filled with current news, but it's also 9/11, and I'm reminded of the horror of being an 18-year-old recently arrived at college and the fear that day involved.

I got a text from the cleaners I took my dress to to get tailored for the wedding next week that it's ready to get picked up, but I'm obviously keeping my black ass inside today.

Called my mother and we talked about the baby in our family and how much she likes Pre-K. A good distraction today.

I know there's been at least one new horror every day since the inauguration, but I really thought the only thing I would have to worry about today after my period arrived this morning was where to order a cheeseburger from for dinner.

I finally watched the miniseries adaptation of The Plot Against America, and it is even more relevant now than it was when it premiered at the beginning of COVID lockdown.

GOP greatly overestimates the number of fucks GenX and younger give about Bill Clinton.

I AM SCREAMING!

Back on my bullshit* *Explaining that SCOTUS has always been this way minus certain decisions from the 1950s to 1970s

The mother of the baby in my family teaches 1st grade in NYC and has put together a list of things she'd like for her classroom if you're so inclined. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

The stadium Trump is in is named after Arthur Ashe, the tennis legend. What many people today probably don't know is that Ashe was literally arrested in front of the White House in 1992 for protesting the George H.W. Bush administration's treatment of Haitian refugees. www.upi.com/Archives/199...

His too-long ties are VERY low on the list of things I hate about this man, but they aggravate me whenever I see them.

They can literally fuck off out of my hometown. www.bostonherald.com/2025/09/05/i...

All of the Wicked costumes are hideous. I really wanted to get one of them.

Constantly. It's been decades since I was in Catholic school, but I wonder what pact he made with the Devil.

Obviously, the legality and ethics of waging war on one of your country's cities is suspect. But using the imagery of the Vietnam War when the US had to flee from there with its tail between its legs to talk about it is..

My mother is on the phone after watching the Katrina documentary on Netflix, and we have been yelling at each other about the mess brought about by the various levels of governments.

The best part of the day was when I was wandering around the Silver Lake Trader Joe's to take advantage of its AC while waiting for my ride to the mall and this came on. open.spotify.com/track/5LkcAj...
