Binging this whole show over a week is helpful in following the through-lines but also brings up some questions. Like why is One giving an entire villain monologue to a 12-year-old who doesn't know what the word "promise" means. #StrangerThings #rewatch

Nancy and Jonathan: 😐 Nancy and Steve: 🙂 Nancy and Robin: 😍 Nancy and weapons: Priceless. 🥰 #StrangerThings

I almost forgot that Season 4 combined its most interesting villain with its least interesting Russian subplot. #StrangerThings #rewatch

My officially review of #TheMightyNein! Spoiler alert: I loved it! www.autostraddle.com/the-mighty-n...

Well the Wayhaughts just get more and more special over here, I’d say. Lots of hours spent on this one. I hope someone gets to enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. 💕 Happy small business Christmas! Available 6pm est makeXyourXpiece.etsy.com #WynonnaEarp

My official Wicked: For Good review: 💚🩷😭😭😭🫧🧹😭😭😭🌈🌈😭😭😭 #Wicked #WickedForGood

Want to see something depressing? Tell me how I've paid $90k in 20 years but have only actually paid down this loan $16k. Student loans are a scam.

I'll share my official Autostraddle review when it goes live but in the meantime I just wanted to say how much I really, really enjoyed #TheMightyNein. It's a feat of storytelling and animation, and really captures the heart of #CriticalRole while also being something brand new. Enjoy!!

Nancy Wheeler. That is all, thank you for your time. #StrangerThings #rewatch

In case you didn't catch my stream, here is a NSFW clip from the game. I had fussed around with my outfit earlier in the game, and thought I had pressed a button that meant "don't save any changes." I was wrong... #PunkyPlays www.twitch.tv/videos/26214...

And we're live! #PunkyPlays www.twitch.tv/punkystarshine

I still love the Season 1 songs but it's been great to have new #HazbinHotel songs to hyperfixate on.

ICYMI, I wrote about this weeks (super gay) #HazbinHotel episodes! www.autostraddle.com/hazbin-hotel...

KATY PERRY KILLED A NUN REFERENCE IN #MATLOCK! That made my entire week.

NYC! come talk to me about memoir and your evangelical religious trauma! HERETIC reading + live convo in the west village, next thursday! www.bgsqd.com/event/heretic/

It was literally the hardest fight I've encountered so far (or, at least, the one that took me the most attempts BY A LONG SHOT) but I FINALLY beat Viconia DeVir. Fuck that bitch that abused my WIFE forever. I might finish this game before 2026!! #BG3 #BaldursGate3

🎶Kiss me, it's beginning to snow.🎶

Let's cyber some punks! Wait... #Cyperpunk2077 #PunkyPlays www.twitch.tv/punkystarshine

BREAKING: Supreme Court declines challenge to landmark 2015 same-sex marriage ruling #NOH8

To whom it may concern, without worrying about how long I've been playing this game without finishing a single playthrough, I have finally disabled the Steel Watch. Please clap. 🥲 #BG3 #BaldursGate3

I don't want to GO to my 20th high school reunion, but I want to like...watch a live feed of my 20th high school reunion. Like when zoos put cameras in the gorilla enclosure.

The lady donating platelets next to me today: A) Complained about the cold (she chose the seat nearest the large, obvious AC) B) Said it was taking too long - she had somewhere to be (she made her own appointment) C) Made a loud phone call D) Bossed the nurses around like she was paying them

This WIP has officially hit 50k words. Again, not sure if they're GOOD words, but there sure are words. "Those words sure exist," they'll say. "Much words, very writing," they'll exclaim.

That feeling when you're on a roll writing but then run smack into a wall. And by a wall I mean a character who needs a name you hadn't planned for. #AmWriting #WritersLife

That's my city. 🥹

You know what really sucks? Looking for freelance writing jobs, seeing how few and far between they are, applying to dozens and never hearing back, scraping by on as many short-term contracts as you can get your hands on...and then seeing a job for training AI that pays $200k a year.

Aaaand we're live with Cyberpunk2077! #PunkyPlays twitch.tv/punkystarshine

A wild Melanie Lynskey appears! On Mr. Melanie Lynskey's show! What a delightful surprise. #Matlock

i wish there was some setting on my computer that would let me universally tell every program, app, website, and service that i will never want it to "help me write." literally my job is to be a messy imperfect human writer. i don't need or want a plagiarism machine to help with that, ever. fuck AI

Don't worry, I still weep for the ✨️entirety✨️ of the Bly Manor finale.

That feeling when you've been writing for half an hour but you only have 100 words written because actually you wrote for 10 minutes and then spent the next 20 on Wikipedia/baby name websites spiraling about potentially having to rename one of your main characters. #AmWriting #WritersLife

I dusted off a WIP this week that has been in progress a loooong time and I hit the 100th page in my Google Doc, which feels like some sort of milestone I should celebrate. 😅 I don't know if anything has even happened in the story yet, but I sure am writing it, that's for certain. #amwriting

The feature image for my #GreysAnatomy post was so steamy Bluesky flagged it as Adult Content sooo maybe just go through my author page to find it. #GreysAnatomySpoilers www.autostraddle.com/author/punky...

So, about last night... #GreysAnatomy #GreysAnatomySpoilers www.autostraddle.com/sophia-bush-...

Hey! Don't be too confused, I know it's a Thursday, but since I missed on Monday, I'm streaming some #Cyperpunk2077 tonight! Hop on in, the vibes are good. Except from Johnny. His vibes are pretty bad. #PunkyPlays www.twitch.tv/punkystarshine

#HazbinHotel is BACK and I have written about the first two episodes, plus teased a little about what's to come in the rest of the season. (You're in for a treat or three, that's the Hazbin guarantee!) www.autostraddle.com/hazbin-hotel...

How I feel when I'm listening to the new #HazbinHotel songs.

I'm so happy #HazbinHotel is back! Already listening to the songs on a loop. The insane vocals will never cease to amaze me. Erika Henningsen and Stephanie Beatriz of course, but also Patina Miller and Liz Callaway?? Jessica Vosk going HARD on Gravity?? Everyone is AMAZING. We're so back, bitches.

I've watched two shows in the past week that happened to have a museum heist episode air and there's no way they could have planned them happening so close to an ACTUAL MUSEUM HEIST so I'm just imagining the marketers losing their MINDS when they read the news and realized their heist eps were next.

In honor of spooky season, this week's newsletter is all about things that scare me. Some feel very logical to me, some I know might seem silly but THEY'RE REAL TO ME. (There's also a little bonus section for paid subscribers, something new I'm trying!) valerieanne.substack.com/p/fear-itself

I'm going to aim for Thursday for streaming! Stay tuned! #PunkyPlays

Friends, I am sadly under the weather and won't be able to stream tonight, but instead of waiting until next Monday, I'm hoping to reschedule for another night this week (tbd) because I really want to keep playing Cyberpunk! I'll let you know as soon as I do if that's what's happening! #PunkyPlays

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

#GreysAnatomy has truly mastered the ability to piss me the hell off then REEL ME BACK IN.

THESE ARE SO CUUUUUTE!! Check them out!!!!!!

The rest is confetti.

I don't want to brag but today I put "go to the library to drop off books" on my to-do list and then...I actually went to the library to drop off books. The same day! So of course I got myself a little treat on the way home. Totally a worthy accomplishment, very normal behavior.

Hey, want some good news? I snooped around the internet and sleuthed some out for you. valerieanne.substack.com/p/proof-not-...

Ever have a coworker who spoiled you for all future coworkers? For example, I once worked with a project manager who was so efficient and smart and communicative and good at her job that every other project manager I've worked with since - even the objectively good ones - have paled in comparison.
