SCREAMING!!!!!

To bang this drum again, what people in powerful positions choose to wear tells us a lot about them.

It's currently 95 degrees in Los Angeles, which is just disgusting.

Robert Redford was a great actor with a perfect face.

RYAN!!!!!!!

Amy Madigan winning makes me think that you should all listen to the You Must Remember This season about the Blacklist.

I have the red carpet for the Oscars up on my television.

One of my favorites. bookshop.org/p/books/days...

The looks I'm most excited to see at the Oscars tomorrow are those of Wunmi and Teyana.

I've been rewatching early Downton Abbey. The disaster that was WWI is disturbing.

Have made a friend date for next weekend to go see Project Hail Mary and then touch fancy clothing at the Americana.

Just real GI Joe shit from this asshole.

The number of straight, cis men in charge of things who are mad that women ever got the right to open a checking account in their own name or easily get a divorce from a shitty husband is larger than you think. newrepublic.com/post/207693/...

I know millennials are often seen as privileged and useless, but we've now lived through two elections decided by the Electoral College and not by popular vote. Two wars in the Middle East started by idiot Republicans. As well as the dot com bubble bursting and the Great Recession.

There's an HBO documentary about Fukushima streaming now. I didn't realize that today is exactly 15 years since the earthquake and resulting tsunami that caused the disaster.

I forgot about Lindsay Graham existing, but now he's out here reminding me why he's a piece of shit.

The thing about being agnostic is that I have to hold my tongue when my mother's friends talk about praying for her. It's been many, many years since I was a child in Catholic school.

Decided to go out for some observing. I'm wearing a loose-knit sweater, skinny jeans, and designer sneakers. Some of The Youths are full 2003 in lingerie dresses and shoes I want to set on fire.

I was a small child in Massachusetts when Dukakis ran for POTUS. I feel the need to read more about that campaign and race.

My thread complaining about latter Outlander might be my most engaged with over here. It almost feels like The Before.

I looked at one Cuyana bag online a couple of weeks ago, and now every ad I get is full of Cuyana sweaters and bags. I live in Los Angeles, targeted advertising! Leave me alone!

Caroline is going to yell at me via text later.

It's great to be the favored child, although you never wanted to be that, with no partner and no children, whom your mother wants to return home to care for her.

I stopped watching Outlander in early season four. I can do ridiculous and horny, but it started to annoy the shit out of me. But I might have to look at this final season to see if the question about the man in the kilt looking up at 1940s Claire in the pilot is answered.

I know I can look it up, but I'm trying to remember on my own when Congress last approved a declaration of war. Korea? I know it wasn't Vietnam.

The entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts will rise up.

*sees there's another Chotiner interview* I took a class my sophomore year of college where we discussed the odd psychology of many politicians.

Was talking to a friend about my complicated family stuff and then saw the news about more military action, so I've ordered a burger and fries.

I'm sorry, Ecuador as well now?

Love to be reliving bullshit as an elder millennial.

If you're going to be an idiot about vaccinations for children, you should have to look at tombstones in a 19th century graveyard.

This is not a dunk whatsoever, but I wholeheartedly disagree with the first sentence. I'm old enough that a friend in my K class got polio and she ended up in a wheelchair for life. I think not vaccinating is akin to neglect like not feeding or clothing a child. And yes I have a kid.

Much like Bridgerton, Paradise is an often ridiculous show that makes me feel a lot of things.

Every time I think things have settled down when dealing with my mother's situation, another thing rears its head.

SINNERS!!!!!!

She has looked fucking amazing this entire awards season.

Just casually crying about Ryan Coogler's acceptance speech at the NAACP Image Awards.

Still dealing with a lot of mother stuff, so the world being on fire has been secondary.

The baby in my family is apparently the smartest child in her Pre-K.

I was born in 1983. Columbine happened when I was in high school. Someone also attacked a Planned Parenthood in the Boston area during that time. The first tech bubble burst soon after I graduated from high school. Then 9/11. Then a war in the Middle East. Then the Great Recession in my mid-20s.

When I first watched Ken Burns' The Roosevelts, one of the historians described Teddy Roosevelt's love of war as basically blood lust. I wonder what drives said love in the current idiot in charge.

I've decided that a thing that my brain and my heart needs is the revival of the history book club that ended when we went into COVID lockdown.

I've been in Los Angeles for nearly twelve years, but I still don't get it being 92 fucking degrees in late February.

Have put on Benedict Is a Dum Dum aka part two of Bridgerton S4.

It's interesting to only just see all of this Les Wexner stuff come out because he was a known creep back when I was interning in the fashion industry in the wake of the Great Recession when he was still the CEO of Victoria's Secret.

Good thing The Vampire Lestat doesn't come out until June because I need to finish S2 of Interview With the Vampire.

As a woman who took women and gender studies classes, I am very curious about those who think gender studies don't explain a lot of our current situation.

The world is still garbage, but I got a picture of the baby in my family wearing a very pretty dress to celebrate her 100th day in Pre-K.

Fuck The State of the Union.

As a black girl who went to a "good school," I'm not shocked at how many academics love eugenics.
