well, if you want a gorgeous, wackadoo, super Oakland movie with themes of friendship, anti-capitalism, and fashion, go see I Love Boosters and celebrate the genius that is @bootsriley.bsky.social #ILoveBoosters #oakland

So this happened. youtu.be/VeVCSNykI7A?...

PSA: last night I watched a rom-com on Prime. When it finished, in mere moments it started to auto-play that POS Melanie movie. Keep your remote close or you too may accidentally contribute to their falsely inflated viewing numbers.

Guaranteed way to get me to read your book? Include one of the following words in your title: - library - librarian - bookstore - bookshop - book(s) Works every time.

Disappointed in @podsaveamerica.crooked.com for lobbing nothing but softballs at @gavinnewsom.bsky.social when his policy decisions around allowing ICE detention centers to be built in CA was such low hanging fruit. If you don’t hold his feet to the fire who will?

Every time I wash my hands in a public restroom I hear @alieward.bsky.social reminding me to milk my thumbs, one of my few fond memories from the lockdown. Thanks Allie and @ologies.bsky.social for keeping It real, and the lasting good habits.

I googled “gay cartoon cat” because I couldn’t remember his name and the internet did not disappoint. You all know who I mean, right? #heavenstomurgatroyd

Younger kid's whole middle school walked out today in solidarity with Minnesota. Apparently there were 13 year olds getting up and making impromptu speeches. They didn't prep a chant in advance, so they settled on "F*ck ICE"

When you've got ADHD, an internet connection, and a lot of downtime...

I need an app for tracking symptoms and was going to crowdsource here. Then I got to thinking about @thetweedy.bsky.social and realized I haven’t heard anything in a while. You okay?

Jeffries is an establishment Democrat. He will always work for the establishment. He is not a disrupter or innovator or individual thinker. Within that framework, his gutless behavior toward Mamdani or any progressive candidate makes a lot of sense.

I love comedy, when it's funny and isn't based in bigotry and punching down. Netflix should not be funding such nastiness. Sign this petition to say NO to Tony Hinchcliffe's offensive comedy special with Netflix! sign.moveon.org/petitions/no...

How I arrived on bluesky

I need more heartwarming and/or wholesome tv. Something like Call the Midwife or Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Less violence, more relationships. Thoughts?

Now that was a movie! Run, do not walk, to the imax for #Sinners Best vampire movie ever. Also, killer music. @ryancoogler.bsky.social you’re a genius. No notes.

Some say the world will end in FOIA Some say in ICE

at this point 2025 feels like being awake during surgery

I learned on @ologies.bsky.social yesterday that signing petitions does actually help. Here's one that demands Congress protect funding for PBS and NPR. Don't let them take away Sesame Street! sign.moveon.org/petitions/de...

Listening to the latest episode of @ologies.bsky.social and kept thinking that Dr Ely was saying ‘random-assed tests’ but I was mistaken. Accents are fun!

TIL that I can set more than one timer at a time on my iPhone. Game. Changer.

How old were you when you realized you could fill your water glass from the bathroom sink?

It says so much about North American culture that telling people "I mask because Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome puts me at a higher risk for Long COVID" gets sympathetic nods but telling them "I mask because I care about disabled people's wellbeing" gets an eye roll.

Unpopular opinion: Janice Joplin had an unpleasant voice and I truly do not understand what the big deal was about her.

🤔

I just want you all to know that I have nothing to say anymore. I'm too busy being menopausal and finding stuff on Buy Nothing. It's not you, it's me. And society at large. And an overwhelming sense of apathy and rage, which may or may not be hormonal. Okay, bye!

My family has always had strict rules around clothing and fashion. Like, you never mix patterns!

the week between Christmas and New Year's Day is like being at the airport

For the duration of my marriage I had matching plates. I believed that signified me winning at life. That marriage lasted 6 months (and 5 more years on paper). Today my cupboard looks like this. #winning Also I believe only 2 of these plates were purchased new. #secondhand4life

Now that’s a holiday team I can get behind. #books #authors #holidaycheer

I started to write a work report at 11:45. Since then I've taken a 40 min work call, handled elder care crisis, deleted photos from my desktop, checked the spelling of Chappell Roan, drank tea, and written not one work of report as of 2:10pm. Yet that doc told me I was too productive to have ADHD. 🤔

It’s not hiding, it’s healthy #walking #introvert

@ologies.bsky.social fun fact: fake blood on stage in operas I’ve been in was made of hersheys chocolate syrup and red food coloring. So biscuits, so sticky, so never coming out of your clothes! #opera #blood #themoreyouknow

me: i heard you do a terrible owl impression him: where me: holy shit that is bad

My superpower is I can tell whenever the coffee cups in a tv show are empty. Law & Order hasn’t seen a wet cup in 30 years.

Haha I just tried to reply “SCOTUS fucked us” and it autocorrected to “SCOTUS fucked U.S.” Yep.

Going to a party? Find the bathroom. You can hide in there for a while and no one really wants to ask why you're taking so long. Just remember to wash your hands.

@laststarpod.bsky.socialsaw the trailer for M:I The Final Reckoning tonight (for GladIIator) and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts

Well we saw GladIIator today and I can safely say that was… a movie.
