03December24 #filmsky #romcomadvent "Home for Christmas 2" Season 2 just as good, sly, tenderhearted, real, but also happy. Love this series, perfect Christmas viewing youtu.be/_3j0qmWU5jo?...

02December24 #filmsky #romcomadvent "Christmas as Usual" Such a sweet comedy! A woman takes her South Asian fiancee home to Norway for Christmas and hilarity ensues. Extra points for a running through the airport scene. 🤶🏻🇳🇴🎄 youtu.be/rg2yZQGYTmE?...

*Two writers, Thomas Frank and Joan Williams, provided sharp insight into the Democrats’ hemorrhaging of working-class voters eight years ago. The Democratic Party ignored their perspectives. We asked them to explain how we ended up here — again* jacobin.com/2024/11/demo...

01December24 #filmsky #romcomadvent "Home for Christmas" season 1 (not the dubbed version!) (yes a series or even single episode can count!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U2m...

Decided to do an advent calendar of holiday rom/coms. Rules: - must feature a festive scene with sparkly lights - must feature declaration of ❤️ in an airport, train, sidewalk, or similar - if it's slightly more rom than com, it's ok, but it can't be "Decision to Leave" level sad at the end.

introverting hard after all the holiday socializing 😆

Finally a meme about inflation that's consistent with actual trends in purchasing power

this is the best gift📚🎁 ❤️ #booksky

my question re: both student debt relief debacle and affirmative action disaster, is why can't we just make college free? #freecollege

By age 37, I've rejected the sad/crazy binary and simply run into the wall between the two, leaving behind a Parker-shaped hole like a vintage Loony Toons cartoon

I've been here for two days and this is the best description of this place that I've seen.

it's genius.

the old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of jubilant shitpoasters

booklists forever

ok so how do I find stuff? are there lists? or do I just get to express myself and be surprised by random goodness?
