I met new people and talked to them and got invited to a Christmas party. Twas a successful day.

Every day should start with a video of a Lambourghini getting monster truck smashed.

Alexis just got temporary emergency custody of a baby! Please help this DC mom and foster mom! There are now 5 older kids, a toddler and now a baby. The baby will be safe with Alexis, and the teen may(?) get some help. Alexis didn't get custody of her, the state did. bsky.app/profile/did:...

I'm going to watch this every time I need a pick me up.

"Have you considered putting down your phone and taking me for another walk?"

ICE abducted someone around the corner from my house this morning. Even if it's fallen off our timelines it's still happening.

Was going to go to the nursery to get soil for our new raised beds. Did the math to figure out how many bags we needed – 80. A bulk delivery arrives at 10am tomorrow.

"I not playin, I jus walkin around," says the two-year old who does not care what his parents say about the very specific rules we're supposed to follow while waiting to board the plane. I'm on his side.

Five shows in three days because why the hell not?

30 minutes in the TSA line, mostly not moving and bearing weight entirely on my right leg, hopping through the metal detector... Dunkin' donut to feel better.

While I wasn't technically promised to run into @mayor.nyc.gov on the street I'll be unreasonably disappointed if it doesn't happen. 76 minutes before I'm on the train to JFK – let's do this NYC.

Hadestown in 2026 is quite different from what I saw in 2019. It's a bit of a hot mess (my friend who hadn't seen it says that's a generous review).

There's a phenomenal actor at this performance of Oh Mary! I'm glad people are respecting his privacy but I also want him to be showered with praise because he's a treasure.

May whoever's responsible for me getting on this list get a papercut between their fingers every day until the heat death of the universe.

Overheard on 45th St across from Juniors: Grandma 1: I'll get a soup and sandwich. Grandma 2: We'll get a sandwich and split it. 1: That's not how I do it. 2: You eat a WHOLE sandwich? 1: No, I'm getting a soup and 1/2 sandwich. I told you this. 2: We should split a sandwich.

Did we know Ana Gasteyer can sing? Because my gods can Ana Gasteyer SING.

Show 2 in the bag. Luke Evans and and Stephanie Hsu alone were worth the cost of admission.

So very glad I allowed myself to be influenced by Helen. The Vegitalian was incredible.

Who would have thought the only thing that makes Cats make sense is putting in the context of the queer ballroom world?

She's not my representative but I'm still embarassed to live in the same state as Marie Gluesenkamp Perez.

Greatest city in the world

I threw my arm into the airport train door to catch it and someone shrieked. Seattle is so very different from New York.

With bourgeois money I'd go to NYC every other month to make sure I see every damn show. If I had WEALTH I'd also hire individual people as FTE (with great benefits, obviously) for each of the chores I hate most – clean the bathroom, sweep/vacuum, laundry, and dishes.

One more sleep until a week off work. Two more sleeps before a long weekend with my oldest friend in the city I love more than anywhere else in the world. I can do this.

The way I gasped. Well done, internet stranger, well done.

There is no version of this that's ok. It's even worse when you consider that Val Kilmer looked like this near the end of his life.

They don't make them like Irving Berlin anymore.

This is masterful. Of course Claire got it in one.

Oh, so that's what happening with both of the gas stations near my house that have been closed and abandoned for the last 6-7 years.

This is WILD.

A daily latte is one of the few things keeping me going so decaf at 8:08pm it is.

Just watched a livestream of The Unknown, a one-man psychological thriller by David Cale starring Sean Hayes. It was exceptional (really, really exceptional). You should all buy a ticket to the last performance tomorrow afternoon.

Why does perimenopause make your ears itchy and what's the most efficient way to remove your ear canals?

Today is an exceptionally good day to support an abortion fund and tell a fake clinic to go straight to hell.

The last 24 hours have been fucking brutal. We deserve a break. Let it happen today.

I didn't realize it at the time but this workshop was the beginning of a radical shift in how I think about myself and the world. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

My kingdom for fountain Cherry Coke.

I feel the amount of bad choices made by people was exponentially lower before Al Gore invented the internet.

The experience I seek out more than any other is feeling small. It's humbling and freeing. There's nothing else like it.

Pleasantly surprised to discover that Costco observes First Contact Day.

Chat, is it bad when the person doing your pedicure starts laughing while cheese gratering your calluses?

There's a Volvo Wagon from the 80s parked outside my house. I feel like this is a valid reason for stealing, right?

Would. A thousand times would.

Taxes are a scam.

We bought our car shortly before @tressiemcphd.bsky.social posted about giving the dealer a time limit and walking away when they didn't meet it. I'm so very excited to do that the next time we need a car.

Use your energy (and extra money if you have it) for good today.

Emergency timeline cleanse for the vibes are rancid on this day.

The Forest app has been ridiculously useful for me! Highly recommend it for folks who need a bit of help with starting/finishing things because our phones are so easily distracting.

The thing I have that required the brain surgeries is super rare. The high estimate is 90,000 people across the globe have it. So it was especially lovely to see a couple of responses to a post from someone who's trans and was worried about if/how it could impact transitioning.

A conversation that happens daily between us... One of us: Dogs that's not for you. The other one, speaking on behalf of the dogs: It could be for us if you say so. You make the rules.
