The real thing everyone should be avoiding in pregnancy is lettuce but no one wants to talk about that!

Oh god, how long does it take to play one of these?

I also did a good impression of Nicolas Cage licking the Rosetta Stone to authenticate it.

Read if you want to know how the Disney Channel has gaslit me for the last 20 years. The truth must out!

If it does end tomorrow, I spent today baking bread for my friends, kissing my funny baby, and nailing the high notes on “strangers like me.” Not bad.

It’s not the end of the world, just the old year.

I insisted on the title for this. My eulogy for And Just Like That… Come for the post-mortem, stay for my wish list of episodes that will never be.

I really cannot stress how much I was almost the only person I know who had heard of him.

Universal childcare is on the ballot this November — but you don't need to wait to take action. Sign the @ny4childcare.bsky.social petition below calling for full-day care for NYC two-year-olds.

The most important thing to acquire when you have a kid and a job that doesn’t pay well is several close unemployed friends.

Not underdogs but I did care about wins for the Pitt and my longtime love Dr. Carter.

This Emmys is a lot of good actors doing good work in shows I don’t care about, so it was such a surprise and a pleasure to see Jeff Hiller win for Somebody Somewhere.

Maybe worth noting anecdotally that of all my family members, my brother-in-law and I were the only ones who knew who Kirk was. We aren’t the only ones who follow politics, just the only ones on Twitter too much.

Spider pronouns be like: it/ze/bit/xe

Couldn’t remember the word “wedge” so I called it a lime squeezy

I would have kept watching the Pitt without Mel (luv u Mel) but I’m not sure Alien:Earth would still have me without the lil’ peeper 👁️

Asked a tourist if she help me with a door, and when we were inside she started talking loudly on the phone about how terrible it seems to be a parent in New York, and how everyone who grew up here turned into a psychopath. “It’s not their fault, it’s the environment.” Bizarre anti-social behavior!

There’s a reason people write HP AU fanfic without any magic in it. The magic isn’t the powerful fantasy, the world where you can have adult freedom without adult responsibility is.

WFMU really understanding the assignment this Labor Day: played September and Boys of Summer.

Outfit Repeater! At the Playground

That Beyoncé line is just not true? Peak Beyoncé in culture was Self Titled and Lemonade.

I sang backup for Debbie Harry at a high school fundraiser. 💪

A fun fact is that my uncle’s first ever court trial was up again RFK Jr. and he won. :) (I don’t care that he was high, just that he lost against my family member)

Was literally just saying this last night, after watching True Grit for the first time out of theaters!

Any roadblocks make it so hard to get access to vaccines. I was unable to get vaccinated in my third trimester (reccomended at time!) because my OB only carried them during “Covid season,” CVS was only authorized to give them to over 65s, and smaller pharmacies/COSTCO had run out of stock.

I’m not sure how i can have another kid if I’m unsure they’ll be able to be vaccinated against a widely circulating disease!

i think mamdani should do other things that the mayor of stardew valley does since the scavenger hunt went so well. i think he should start sneaking onto your property and picking up your mail at 4am. i think the people of new york should have to sneak vegetables into his fridge

i want everybody who laments the state of crit today to find and boost some that they enjoy

The upside of not being able to put my kid in daycare was that he wasn’t going to learn annoying kid songs for a while longer, but now his favorite song is Dayenu so joke’s on me.

Having not watched since the first season: Downton Abbey should end with one of them becoming the Queen.

I wrote a little eulogy for And Just Like That… and by extension for Sex and the City. Catch it while it’s timely.

What else are you supposed to do during commercial breaks on a movie?

This is getting scary, I don’t have time to play a Final Fantasy.

In the last week I’ve gotten 2 emails about class actions related to data breaches, 1 letter apologizing for a data breach, and 1 recall of my seltzer maker, which is only in the same category because I thought all of them were scams at first.

Seeing something that excites me I like to exclaim, in a Carrie Bradshaw voice: “give it to me raw and wriggling.”

Also, there is no way in hell - NO WAY IN HELL - that SJP agreed to a final swan song for Carrie Bradshaw that was inexplicably filled with piss and shit scenes. This was never meant to be the end

I’m highly skilled at compartmentalizing reboots, and their ilk from the originals, but damn if the And Just Like That… finale didn’t depress me with how little it tried.

I’m sorry. I can’t follow any new people until someone gets cancelled.

My VCR is broken so I’ll go with The Ring.

This novel is empathetic in the way bad actors are always urging liberals to be towards their political opponents, which only makes its strong stance against politics of white supremacy and ableism more strident.

This article has a great thesis and made me laugh a lot at the end of a very difficult day. Bing bong, New York City. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping

I think bubbameister is a cute thing to call a baby, it’s too bad it means what it means.

Rent stabilization and then Mitchell-Lama housing allowed me to go to grad school and have a kid in my mid-thirties, full stop. It’s disgusting to worry about billionaires leaving NYC when people born here can sometimes only stay by literally winning a lottery.
