Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

I’d give The Lymond Chronicles the Lord of the Rings treatment. All six of them would be good. There would be extended cuts.

Billy Wilder original script The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes

My mom’s husband hung up a poster of North American birds in their house, and this category describes most of my closest friends.

"the entire second season is grounded by internal drama within a polycule of French theater queers in post war Paris being explained to a terminally catty Anthony Bourdain clone" sounds good here's millions of dollars get at it

I’m howling.

Forget trying to get an A in therapy, I just want the librarian who shelves my holds to think I have great taste.

I always like it when PBS says that viewers like me.

Imagine the season of the Kardashians that’s filmed after Khloe is spotted by the paps reading Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. Reality TV gold, I tell you. It would cause a societal rupture.

An absolute triumph for the "I know writers who use subtext, and they're all cowards" set.

after a long day of work, the sexiest thing a partner can say is: you smell like The Archive.

the AI-generated chapter titles for our episodes are making me believe in the power of AI

Ellis starting the day off by reading out Carl Sandburg's poem "Chicago" in its entirety.

Listen, as a Midwesterner I like to complain about the fact that if a New Yorker blinks I somehow know about it, but good lord am I thrilled.

Today is HER day.

@mollyolguin.bsky.social and I crushed Halloween if I do say so myself

Eleven years ago yesterday, my greatest victory.

Today, a coalition of seven charitable foundations announced the launch of the Literary Arts Fund, a historic philanthropic investment of at least $50 million to strengthen the nonprofit literary arts field in the U.S.

Portland resists with whimsical improv theater, Chicago resists by screaming at weird jagoffs that don’t belong in the neighborhood. Every city brings its own strengths to the fight

Rahm Emanuel covered up the murder of Laquan McDonald by Chicago police

this headline hums with ancient autumnal dread

I watched Dope Thief and the story was just okay but the acting was excellent, in particular Bryan Tyree Henry turning in the highest wattage bisexual subtext I’ve seen in quite some time.

🚨 ALERT 🚨 It is now officially babies in tiny jackets with ears on the hoods season. Please be on the lookout for babies in tiny jackets with ears on the hoods at all times.

tmj...... traumatic mouth jaw.......

No Kings includes DraftKings

yeahhh. i deeply hate this, esp how it leaves the subconscious impression that the words are what's taboo, instead of the things those words describe. but also 'grapist' in particular always feels like part of a lost arrested development joke? i can't not picture it on a tobias fünke license plate

don't take pictures of people's faces at protests, you dipshits!! crowd shots always from behind!!!

We have been friends a long long time, & share a number of Foundational Texts, & it is always a joy & delight to look at something you enjoyed but DIDN’T build a brain with through a beloved friend’s eyes!!!

Every fall I watch Angels in America but I have never watched it with Gay Movie Night until this month. We’ve been watching movies together since 2020 and we’ve known each other longer than that but it was still an unprecedented joy inviting @aneelin.bsky.social et al inside my brain.

My strongest book-related belief is that the paperback should come first and then the hardback after for people who want a fancy edition.

Thanks you @doublebackreview.bsky.social for doubling back on this one, first published in a now-defunct magazine! If you like Yellowjackets, dead things, and complicated feelings about the body/sexuality, this is for you: doublebackreview.com/issue-7-2-oc...

reminder that the monochromatic middle ages the right-wing opines for are also a lie

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

The craziest thing about Masters of the Air is just Ncuti Gatwa as a guy in the background. Like, I can pinpoint exactly when they cast this, right before it became clear that we had a generational talent on our hands.

LGBTQIA+ is rebranding as LGBTQIA MAX

I squeezed that sperm till a strange sort of insanity came over me

I truly believe a big reason why Democrats are failing to appropriately respond to the moment is a pathological refusal to admit that there were aspects of the American status quo pre trump that were extremely fucked up and unjust

being a bisexual doesn't make me half straight it makes me double gay

With the death of Twitter and also Entropy mag (RIP), there remains very little online evidence of my 2015-2017 devotion to One Direction, so you may be surprised to learn I just spent 2 hours watching a Louis Tomlinson interview and taking copious mental notes. I too am surprised, but here we are.

Achieving new heights of both Midwesternness and gayness by going to see Chappell Roan purely because I am proud of her for making a point of coming here, and also because my girlfriend thinks she's hot and talented.

Obviously, this is loser shit, but I think AI has really cemented itself as the visual language of fascism. It's anti-human, flattened, uninteresting, and cheap. It's like looking at a Potemkin Village and thinking that's the same as architecture.

Still.

I am not particularly pro-military but I do know that the reason why the military “went woke” is because diversity makes organizations stronger, not weaker

At the risk of sounding flippant about Current Times (which I assure you I do not “lol”) I’m here to say! After a long day doing your little best to stem the rising tide if fascism, what better to try & soothe your soul to regroup tomorrow than a lovely book that believes in the best of us.

Today in the garden.
