everyone on here is 38 years old and loves star trek deep space 9

Had to dash to the pet store for cat provisions & stocking stuffers, and these lil guys were enjoying some Mariah Carey accompanient to their daily activities! Found out years ago during an allergy panel test that I am very allergic to gerbil & hamster. Who knew? They are cute though. 🥹

I just want to thank Andrea for this great article. Having made the difficult decision of no contact with emotionally immature/narcissistic parents who only want me to agree with their damaging behaviors, it deeply resonated this holiday. Choosing my own sanity & zero BS for 3 years & counting. 💪🏻

Watching the Eras Tour doc - Andrea Swift really said no more selfish wimpy British man children didn't she 🤣🤣 Love it!

Morning scrolling & I see a video posted by Misha Brown (the hilarious DontCrossAGayMan) where he shows a video of some short angry little unregulated man stomping around bc his wife didn't finish washing his favorite shirt. He was like, chanting & stomping. ...what in the fuck? 🧵⬇️

I loved this part - she said hello to the moon and I was like IT ME!!! Relatable. 🌜🌕🌝🌛

Its a new moon 🌚🌑 Thinking about going into the new year as well. 2023 and 2024 were building and learning years, and this year made a lot of paths more clear. Plus, the rocket launch! Felt like the beginning of the next era. ::cue Golden:: ⭐️ ::cue Daylight:: ☀️ I'm ready for my director era 😉

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose

We are somewhat sure that today is our engagement-aversary, which happened in December 2009. 💍 Here we are in NYC last week; that is where Jay planned to propose but was thwarted by a giant snowstorm ❄️☃️ it was perfect anyway! Not mining our relationship for content since 2004. 😉

if the mta sold F/M swap merch they'd be funded for the next decade

FUCKIN FACTS 💯

Today, NASA Science posted an article about IMAP First Light: all 10 instruments are live & transmitting the first data 🤩 This image depicts data from Princeton's SWAPI instrument & shows the change in solar wind over 1 day. Remember all that aurora activity in Nov? This is 24 hrs in graph form! ☀️🌬️

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

This lovely guy directed the movies that narrated our growing up & shaped our love of cinema. A senseless act took him & his wife from us before his time. I was unaware of the depth of his activism - doing good without the accolades. A true loss and a deep sadness over the violence of this world.

can we all agree to take it easy on ourselves tomorrow? we are humans with hearts and souls and it's unnatural to soldier on as if we're unaffected

I'll have something to say about Rob and Michelle Reiner in the morning on Vulture, but nothing tonight. It's a tragedy on so many levels. Including political and cultural. I can barely process it.

Rob Reiner was the consummate storyteller. Over and over, he revealed us to ourselves: what it is to be young and have friends, to fall in love, to feel misery and vengeance, to feel alive. And the laughs. So many laughs. The loss of Rob Reiner is... inconceivable.

Hanging out in the city with awesome folks in freezing temps! Saw @bonniebellg.bsky.social in her Die Hard Christmas Parody, saw fab ladies Megan, Shawyonia, Jen (not pictured) & Sabrina, got drinks in at cool bars, went to drag brunch bingo - recharged my social battery 💜🔋

Feels like 5° 😩😩

Fashionably late to the party

As he celebrates his 100th Birthday this very day, can we all take a moment to acknowledge that time when Dick Van Dyke won the internet internet. Forever.

Happy 100th birthday to legend Dick van Dyke and to legend-in-progress, queen Taylor Swift! I am so happy to see DvD celebrating 100 years, this is how you age when you're unproblematic and Julie Andrews blesses you at a young age. ✨Step in time!✨

I'm off for 48 hours of fun & friends in NYC, do we think the world can hold its shit together long enough for me to enjoy myself for a mere 2 days??? Plus it may be super cold ("feels like" 14°!) but at least its sunny! 🥶☀️ Do we think Taytay is still in NYC for her bday? 😛 girl let's get drinks!

I am so very deeply irritated with the almighty a$$hole that is Hal on The Diplomat and how intent he is on torturing Kate that I wish much ill upon him. He is an evil shitbird. 😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬

I mean...look at him. He needs his own Christmas special at this point in the cuteness!! 🥹🎄🎁🐱

I got my eyelashes done, which I haven't in over 2 years, and I feel very pretty & sassy! 😘 I got the "natural" set so they aren't huge, but next time will add some volume. Archie did not feel like participating in the lash selfies but he was a good sport.

Hey space nerds! My friend Summer is clearing out the ASP's library of awesome space books - you can browse and purchase them at the link below. Many are out of print & rare, so they make great gifts. Go have a look & add to your bookshelves! 📚📖🪐🌟

Hello, Bluesky! How is everyone's Monday going? The hair looked nice so I had to take a selfie 😘 Soon I must brave a store for more lights to replace our burnt-out strands from years past, wish me luck ✨💡🔌🎄 Then I'm treating myself this evening - will snap a pic post-beautification!

We have blown through seasons 1&2 of The Diplomat; now in season 3. First of all, I hate Hal & that isn't changing. I wish ill on him. The following is a spoiler so run away now if you care... 💫 💫 💫 💫 I don't know about you but I'd be very ok if Allison Janney were our president right now.

I'm so old, I remember 2020, when Trekkies were furious about the existence of Star Trek: Lower Decks, insisting that no one wanted it and that it would be the ruin of the franchise.

Everyone is so worked up about the new Starfleet Academy poster. 🙄 In Tawny I trust!

Is anyone surprised? I'm not! Taylor and Bear going 1-2 once again! Plus I had to have some Hozier in there ✨🎶🎵🎹 Only surprise: Florence + the Machine didn't crack the top 5!

Happy Wednesday from an orange fluff!! (Note the teeny tiny blep!) So cute, how do I get any work done...

did you know that we published a NOTABLE SMALL PRESS BOOK this year??? 👀 it's ONE MESSAGE REMAINS by the AMAZING @premeemohamed.com 🎉🎉🎉 read the list, and get your own copy here ✨ psychopomp.com/one-message-... lithub.com/100-notable-...

What happened when the White House used Sabrina Carpenter’s music to promote ICE

Some might say, hacking billboards is noble work. 😉

Decorated the tree. If you know, you know.

Playing around with Canva (one of my most-used tools for social media management) & made one of my fave lyrics from the new album into a graphic. Tied with "like a toy chihuahua barking at me from a tiny purse" 😂 Its ✨Actually Romantic✨

If you gotta grab some deals today, Cyber Monday, here are 5 women-owned & -founded companies where I enjoy shopping! 👜👛👠👗 -🧵- 1. RockLove jewelry: high-quality geek & Disney pieces that LAST! A fave since I met founder/CEO Allison Cimino at her small booth at NYCC 10+ years ago 💜 Rocklove.com

Rosalin is practically brimming with holiday cheer, can't you tell?? 😛 We put away all the fall decor (there is a fair amount) and took out all the interior holiday decor minus trimming the tree. But it is up and ready for ornaments! Last is always outdoor lighting. Form a prayer circle 🙃

I meant to post about this news from Italy - very glad violence againat women, which has long been normalized, is now punishable with a life sentence. Far too many women die at the hands of their male partners or family members. Gender-based violence is an hourly occurance and needs to stop.

KICK IT like Seth Rogan on "Platonic"!! My husband and I cheer every time he does this 😂😂😂

Black Friday reminder: You can support independent bookstores and get great deals without lining the pockets of billionaires 😌
