GenX is not okay. Stand By Me came out when we were the age of the protagonists. My first date took me to The Princess Bride. So many Rob Reiner movies were the bright sharp punctuation of our own murky and lonely coming of age journeys, and they reminded us we weren’t actually alone in the woods

instead of reposting that horrible screenshot of that horrible man's post, consider sharing the incredible stories about what sweet, thoughtful man Rob Reiner was and flooding the feed with them

You guys really need to develop the capacity of simultaneously holding the truth that the colonialist occupation and genocide of Palestine is unacceptable AND violent antisemitism is real Both are true

Imam Bayildi is a classic Greek and Turkish recipe for eggplants stuffed with tomatoes, onions and spices. The translation means “the imam fainted”, some say, because of the deliciousness of the dish, and others say due to the expense of the lavish amount of olive oil used. #vegan #FoodSky 🍽

Black people have love for ourselves. Could you have love enough for Black people to end white supremacy even inside yourself? Is that even possible?

In case you haven't heard the news - The Whole Enchilada (my debut novel) - has dropped! It's a story about finding yourself and learning to love life as it is. Maybe we don't get the whole enchilada, but you know, a little bit is better than nada. ➡️ www danielaquirke.com #IndieAuthor

Fun fact: I am a Dudeist Priest and can officiate weddings that are far out, man.

Grilled cheese and tomato soup tonight. I have this in heavy rotation throughout the winter months.

This like the third Tuesday this week

Oh this is so helpful: Ocean Vuong on what to do with your anger www.themarginalian.org/2025/05/07/o...

The other night I watched this documentary and it was actually kinda delightful. www.sepiafilms.com/films/the-ho...

Have you watched Uzumaki yet? I never read the manga but there's an animated version (4 eps) on HBOMax and 😵‍💫.

Hell yeah.

Cheese enchiladas tonight bitches. With the pintos I made yesterday.

My friend, a former academic & historian of religion focused on early Islam, has switched careers and is now writing historical(ly accurate) fiction: murder mysteries set in 10th-century Baghdad. You definitely want to check her work out: www.llsilvers.com #indieauthor #BookSky

Rewatched some Star Trek tonight. Still wild how a show about warp drives and weird nebulae ends up teaching the cleanest lessons about being human. Every episode says the same thing in its own way: ‘Be curious. Be brave. …Try not to fire phasers unless you really have to.”

Ok listen: Pinto beans simmered in broth in a cast iron dutch oven all day, soaking up cumin, coriander, paprika, oregano, and a whisp of cinnamon, served with sharp cheddar, a perfectly ripe mini avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and a fresh HEB butter tortilla.

HI. HELLO.

Put FES IS A MIRROR by Chantal James on your year-end lists you cowards!

I need someone in Jasmine Crockett’s camp to give her the update that supporting Israel is a non-starter going into 2026.

What a jackass.

Could someone just try being honest with students and parents about job outcomes and what it means to get an education and how it affects you if your instructor is struggling to piece together a living wage by teaching 5 different classes at different colleges at the same time?

I love me some retinol.

Most people are not ready to fix a problem the moment they've identified it as a problem. It's like they need time to process it and waffle in and out of denial as they do. Which might just be necessary. Maybe that's how most humans function. Anyway.

Get on my level.

The good news is I have a v large chocolate chip cookie.

it’s very interesting how quickly some of you are willing to regurgitate anti-immigrant sentiment

Blood is delicious.

Sex work is an immigration issue. Make her work for those votes.

I watched this last night and it was so interesting. The entire thing was hand painted on #film. Loving Vincent lovingvincent.com

*Screaming*

Brittany Howard does this incredible gender shape-shifting thing with her voice and it's so sexy.

I feel like the world would be a much better place if we just set aside three hours each day to dance.

Story-telling / Writting / Selling a book are three different skill sets, and in the modern time, you need all three to be a writer

I'm chomping at the bit to bust open my Hobonichi. I always start in January, but I'm going to take my time and set it up this month, decorate, etc. I just can't do anything until after 12/15. But then? Cancel all plans. I need to bond with my hobo.

Tonight we're having roasted tofu grain bowls. I love bowl eating. www.bonappetit.com/recipe/roast...

All of it. Plus, men are entirely unprepared to evaluate their own suitability as partners and to understand what they need to change to accommodate women's needs and desires. They never had to. EVER.
