despite high hopes the only thing that really worked for me in forbidden fruits was victoria pedretti’s incredible ass

coming right outta Palm Sunday with my palms out bc I'm begging. please help us stay in our apartment. we don't have any generational wealth to fall back on. it's just us & Lulu & eviction papers on Easter Sunday.

A critic’s job is not to tell you whether or not you should see a movie.

"Cleared" after one year. A year is a long time in boxing. And these are her prime years because age/time is undefeated and undisputed. They have done her harm.

this has gone on long enough. Doctor Abbot please wake up it is time for work. #thepitt

This month in the Martha Wells Book Club, @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social tackles four short stories from across the Murderbot universe! #Murderbot

Been working on this for a while and I'm finally pulling the trigger and starting to actually publish a long series of blog posts: Why AI Sucks and You Shouldn't Use It Wheeeeeeee! secret.works/blog/njfjvrf...

Oh wow 75% came fast! Thank you all! Excited not to bother you with it again for another year soon as it's wrapped

“Aircraft should always be vehicles of peace, never of war! No one should fear that threats of death and destruction will come from the sky,” the pope said, “After the tragic experiences of the twentieth century, aerial bombardment should have been banished forever!”

This is the only Harry Potter argument worth making It wouldn't matter if Harry Potter was a singular, unmatched work of genius. Giving Rowling money is actively making the world a worse place and killing trans folks. There's no book good enough or nostalgic enough for that to be worth it.

#pittspoilers I was so worried about Robby being self-destructive by going on his motorcycle trip I forgot to worry about Robby being self-destructive by NOT going on his motorcycle trip 😭

#pittspoilers Langdon’s apologized but it hasn’t occurred to him to thank Santos for breaking protocol/the law to keep his secret for almost a year. I honestly think if he approached her as an ex-junkie with his own mental health shit instead of a prodigal son she would respond well.

the way santos isn’t wrong BUT doesn’t know robby told langdon he doesn’t want him in his ER so he is in fact still under threat of losing everything AND she’s extra worked up and lashing out because her situationship JUST took langdon’s side *again* and langdon doesn’t know THAT either

Sending this around again in honor of Deadloch s2 eve!!! I love these chaos gremlins so much I can’t wait for this insane gay tire fire of a show to return to my eyeballs ❤️‍🔥

rewatching the pitt s2e3 and MAN ;__;

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid.

AI bad

Surgery was unexpectedly delayed for a few days, so I'm still crowdfunding. If you have a few bucks to spare or even just a RT, it would really help.

right like sure there’s fear but first and foremost there is logical, righteous, indignant anger. that’s why they discredit it as “fear.”

I despise when tech execs describe resistance to a new tech product or paradigm as "being scared" i.e. "I understand why musicians are scared but.." it's so condescending. being politically against something or exercising your right to opt out can come from many places other than "being scared"

There are just no words. More power to her. May she find peace as she continues to do her amazing work.

i am just sobbing for Dolores Huerta. there are so many stories like this from women in the civil rights movement, from AIM, from the Black Panthers, and now from UFW, and it is so brave of her to come forward and share something so painful.

Happy St Patrick’s Day. Irish people weren’t always considered white, and there’s a centuries-long history of anti-Irish racism both here and in Europe. However, we need to be honest with ourselves that our assimilation into whiteness came at the expense of other people, particularly Black people.

supporting out queer public figures and supporting people presenting/behaving in ways that don’t reinforce compulsive cisheteronormativity *whether or not they have publicly come out* are two completely doable things.

Happy St Patrick's Day! I'm not Irish at all Imao but I have a many-years-old hyperfixation on Joyce & Wilde & some other Irish lit, culture, & resistance and have been to Ireland a few times. Here’s some favorites from my last visit 🍀🍉

the Trans Rights Readathon is here! if you need more books for your stack or want to get in on the fun, mind if an enby author shows off a couple recs— 🤎 Ander & Santi Were Here / enby, aries, muralist mc; set in Texas; very Mexican; art and tacos; big FUCK ICE energy; you’re gonna cry [1/2]

tell me i’m not the only person who briefly had the thought robby was concerned about duke’s throat bc he regularly f***s it #thepitt

literally if you do ONE thing today, call about this horrible act bc they will purge you off the voter rolls

For those who didn’t clock her: the banjo player during the SINNERS performance is Grammy winner Leyla McCalla, a former member of the Carolina Chocolate Drops and roots supergroup Our Native Daughters (and an amazing solo artist). Here’s a link to her Tiny Desk Concert: youtu.be/2aX8svdJjZo?...

my friend asked me to pick up a copy of the V Man issue for her. I couldn’t find it easily so I called the Union Square B&N and— me: Hi I’m checking to see if you have a specific magazine issue in stock? the bookseller, immediately: is it the new V Man by any chance? 💀💀💀 PSA they don’t carry it!

I’m finally reading this book rn and this is the BEST FREAKIN NEWSSSSS

In which I remind you all that Never Whistle at Night, the book that spent five gajillion years on the bestseller lists, has a volume two! www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

Misty Copeland comes out of retirement to put Timothée Chalamet in his place during a live ‘Sinners’ performance at the #Oscars.

(also YES i’ve been thinking about dr al hashimi topping dr robby into blissful submission bc of who i am as a person)

#pittspoilers #thepitt the way he spat “mommy issues” makes me wonder what happened to Robby’s mother—obvs losing a father figure in Adamson fucked him up but I hadn’t thought much abt how the way he is w women def has roots in his own “mommy issues”—NOT TO MENTION

It's Friday the 13th, baby, but don't fret. I've got a little luck for you today: new bookmail! bookjockeyalex.com/2026/03/13/b...

sometimes Taylor Dearden’s father shines irrevocably through her face and Mel hearing her sister is having sex was one of those moments lmao. priceless #thepitt #pittspoilers

Robby lashed out at Mohan with all the ferocity and judgment for her panic attack he’s privately projecting from his own panic attack ten months ago, and I hope hope hope Langdon being there to witness it leads to him apologizing to Robby *specifically* for “talking to cartoon animals in pedes” etc

Dr. Al-Hashimi rocking that first time slash trach might have singlehandedly given Robby reason to live #thepitt

what breaks my heart and really maddens me is how Heated Rivalry is so wrung with ache, an epic love story in which the only villain is explicitly systemic homophobia as it manifests for public figures in hypermasculine spaces, and not only do mainstream fans & media not realize that

“He looked pale, he looked sickly. He looked like a completely different child,” she said. “When I saw that image, my doctor brain turned on. I was like, this kid is sick. He needs medical attention.” @bcrodriguez.bsky.social's latest for @19thnews.org.
