Reading The Catcher in the Rye for the first time since I was like 14, and holy fuck, Holden Caulfield’s gay as hell?

Putting an “I bought this before Melon went crazy” sticker on my copy of The Money Store

Thought I had after about six old-fashioneds: ‘I wish my cat could understand my pain’

I love Genius

Best goddamned bartender from Timbuktu to Portland, Maine. Or Portland, Oregon, for that matter.

Babe Ruth: “Future television icon Dick Van Dyke was born today. So, in honor of him… let’s get fucking crazy.”

Crazy how the two books in my Books app also describe me

Damn, Dickens was a freak

Bisexual women will say, “I’m attracted to every woman and my bf,” and then this is their bf

Virgin Fatal Attraction: “This bitch is crazy 😱” Chad Basic Instinct: “This bitch is crazy 🥵”

My life is just cats

LibreOffice really wants its users to get a visit from the FBI

I abuse parentheticals, em dashes, and semicolons with vigor (or zest—giving my writing a sort of frantic, kinetic quality; a symptom of my ADHD, perhaps).

They have bonded over being British and their love for music

Whoa, Gilmore Girls predicted Peppa Pig

I love writing fiction, because I find myself Googling shit like “most lesbian cigarette brand”

Reading 'Salem's Lot, and the scariest thing in it so far is the phrase "the most delectable set of jahoobies you ever clapped an eye to"

Recently rewatched that episode of The X-Files where there’s a parasitic worm that possess a human host and then kills everyone, and Scully realizes the way to defeat them is by putting two parasites inside the same host and letting them destroy each other Thinking about that rn for reasons

How does an AuDHD bitch balance her passions for literature, music, film, television, writing, and four-hour YouTube video essays without letting one interest overtake the others?

Tylenol just gets to steal the credit for my autism that the Mr. Bean VHS collection I got for Christmas when I was 5 worked its ass off for?

Okay, fine, I admit it: I’m the beautiful trans girlfriend named Karl Marx

Me planning my birthday:

Making myself laugh by imagining a pirate singing “Hallelujah” “But you don’t really care for music, do ye?” “Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ye” “All I’ve ever learned from love was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ye”

I wish there was a single American political assassin with an ideology of merit It’s always like “Man who campaigned on the promise of feeding minority children to a meat grinder has been shot and killed,” followed by “Turns out the shooter thought he should’ve used a wood chipper instead”

I know I'm biased, but @popheist.com's line of members only recaps? So good. For example: @idalupenis.bsky.social's FREAKS & GEEKS recaps, which are basically the platonic ideal of the format. Personal, insightful, critical, entertaining. The best way to relive a show. popheist.com/freaks-and-g...

I’m glad Houses of Leaves has an index so I can skip to the good parts

I hit a new level of autism today (showed my therapist a video essay)

Imagine how validated you’d feel in your choice of partner if you told them that you wanted to star in something about the problems faced by modern women and they proceeded to write A Woman Under the fucking Influence for you. Cassavetes is the king of the wife guys and I love him.

Is there a single good search engine left that won’t force either AI-generated results or an entire page of sponsored ads on me? Researching for this novel is significantly more infuriating than it was for my last one.

Really love this lead art I made for what is quite possibly the best episode of one of the best shows. And @idalupenis.bsky.social is killing it on these recaps. Worth the price of admission (episode 1's recap is free for all)

The Pogues' brilliance lied in their exploration of punk and folk and in asking if the two genres were even that different to begin with. Read @idalupenis.bsky.social's tribute to RUM SODOMY AND THE LASH.

The greatest two-sentence horror story ever written

Raiden at Mortal Kombat

I’m so happy for him!

Messaging every cis male YouTuber I watch, “You know you can just be a girl, right?” until I hit the jackpot

G-Eazy’s verse on Britney Spears’ “Make Me…” is still one of the worst rap verses I’ve ever heard on a hit song.

Building luxury hotels and especially in Israel is one way we can all help Mother Gaia, thank you Leon

I’m so good at dating apps

Me when I hear a U2 song
