Annual Passover reminder that my grandfather, a survivor of the camps, said free Palestine in his Haggadah in 1993.

Mainlining Popstar and the Lonely Island to celebrate the exodus story

A good excuse to recommend the wonderful Irish children’s animated movie Wolfwalkers, which goes full Inglorious Basterds on Cromwell.

This thread is something else.

I believe we are very close to the subscriber goal needed for me to write heated rivalry x final fantasy smut 😘

Hamnet vs. Hamnet. @nochshorn.bsky.social ponders the book and its film adaptation. "The film felt like a movie 'about grief' in the increasingly uninteresting way that many projects have been 'about grief' recently: visceral but not particularly edifying."

Underneath they are dressed as Beyoncé.

When your pop works in print media. My childhood!

Dreamt a new sex and the city episode where carrie and her twin go to a twin convention to meet men. Sam comes too but she has to keep pretending her twin is just out at the pool.

The only ban we need in sports is on spoken word segments in figure skating.

When they pretend the brooklyn botanic garden is Paris? When they pretend Cadman plaza is Moscow? *chef’s kiss*

I find Bridgerton more palatable ultimately because sometimes I can’t identify the song.

Which is the worse music choice in shows I kinda love despite being all over the fucking place: Bridgerton’s grating string covers or the movie-trailer-core Paradise 80’s covers? Discuss.

Unironically can’t wait to find out what this is referring to.

Doomerism and the isolationism it leads to. The elves *are* doomed if Frodo succeeds, but some choose to stay as long as they can and help out the humans and hobbits anyway, who don’t have the luxury of movement, and that is why Galadriel is so poignant.

Everyone is too scared of cringe to do a good Iris cover. You need to be singing with the soul of a 16yo, not the posturing of a 16yo.

if you saw One Battle After Another and want to see more Teyana Taylor, PLEASE go watch A Thousand and One

I concede that Colbert has actually read LOTR.

If “Wuthering Heights” had ended with them running off together I honestly would have respected it and it would have saved the movie. There is no reason in the context of *this film* that they couldn’t or wouldn’t. What the fuck could anyone do about it?

Because of their construction, American Girl Dolls will never be able to lie in the grass at night and see the stars above them.

I wrote about Hamnet and Hamnet, which I found moving and disappointing, respectively.

I too have some thoughts on the Shy Girl mess (free to read) www.patreon.com/posts/mia-cu...

happy the comeback season 3 premiere day to all who celebrate

i signed because nitehawk is one of the funnest and most special date night spots and the people who facilitate all that fun deserve way better than being low paid grist for the owners’ profit mill

The poise I’m going to try and channel when I defend my dissertation.

entertainment entertainment cummings (Skeeted on my husband’s behalf)

Dipping a toe into discourse today I liked Sinners, and OBAA, and Marty Supreme because they felt like movies that were genuine in their intention to say something while being super fun, and I hated Bugonia because it was a miserable time that then was smug and said nothing interesting. IMO

I need a new profile pic because since Halloween I am BLONDE again and I have a cunty little BOB but I also am alone writing or with a toddler all day so I have no good photos.

They should run Arsenic and Old Lace on Broadway with Jacob Elordi.

Looks like Leo has decided to be incredibly handsome again.

Everytime I see this meme format I think it’s about Seth Rogan and I’m waiting for the pot joke.

Betty shoots pigeons and we are all gonna die!

I predict by the time my kid is old enough to write papers, AI will be too expensive and I will be to underemployed for him to afford it, so he will just have to Good Will Hunting his way through life.

I straight up will never understand the proliferation of YouTube. That place is for watching music videos, media archival & the occasional instructional video. At least TikTok’s appeal is that it’s on your phone & short. Why would I watch a random person tell a 30min story about their blind date?

I would say that Legends and Lattes is written like a novel for children but Princess Academy actually is a novel for children and it attempts way more within those confines, so really it’s written like a novel for an algorithm trying to find the median reader and offend no one.

(Doing dead bugs) Toddler: *hits me with fly swatter*

Yoga With Adriene: listen to your surroundings, really take in what is around you. Toddler: *kazoos directly into my ear*

I wish the kid playing Hamnet looked less like my kid. Jesus.

Fake Hamlet Preference: Slings & Arrows > Station 11 > Hamnet

Mike Flanagan and Dan Fogelman head-to-head monologue bake-off.

This Hathaway song from Mother Mary is not passing the Schlesinger test for me. Zzzzzzz

My greatest fear is bedbugs and my greatest love is bread with seeds that look exactly like bedbugs.

Peggy writes copy and humps Humps the Camel Campbell! And Don gets revenge most foul!

Actually this would fit in pretty well with a lot of his work (obsessive men)

If I gotta throw Natasha to the wolves to get my daily subscribers, honestly I feel like Natasha's gonna have some nice fur clothing at the end of the day.

Stu trying to get me in trouble for clicks.

For fantasy to be truly “cozy” it needs to ride on more than vibes
