you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.

Look if we all get together and work hard, I think we can overthrow the morning people

happy trans day of visibility 🤍

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

One of my greatest accidental accomplishments is never having read or watched any Harry Potter. Not engaging with the series was on purpose. My lack of engagement becoming an accomplishment was the accidental part. Even without reading or watching it, I still know way more about it than I want to.

Only way I can describe S2 of Deadloch is to say that it contains more creative uses of the c-word than an interview with BOTH Gallagher brothers from Oasis (complimentary, weirdly??!!). Anyway it remains Deadloch & I love my chaotic Australian murder queers & all performances remain outstanding! 🐊🔥

Magnolias bloom 🌸 I went to draw plein air in a majestic spot in Strasbourg 😍

This is how I'm introducing myself at all work and social events going forward

Easter candy is great. They make a bunch of other kinds of candy into jelly beans, and I see nothing wrong with that.

never a bad time to remind everyone that Farscape exists and is free to watch and is easily one of the top five space shows ever made. Has been described as "one American astronaut's introduction to the Australian kink scene, with muppets" and that's only like 1/5th of it but I got a character limit

this is a show about an incompetent, overmatched white guy who hasn't had a good day in four years, and all his hotter, smarter space friends. most of the special effects are practical and, like, wet, and gross (complimentary). the show hates cops a really lot. it's so great.

EXCUSE THE FUCK OUT OF ME

The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

quick reminder that NT's production of The Importance of Being Earnest, starring human ray of sunshine Ncuti Gatwa, will be streaming FOR FREE on YouTube this weekend www.radiotimes.com/movies/ncuti...

Alias, sd-1.net (an Alias specific forum), 18 very nearly 19 I didn’t even know it was a thing until my friend asked me to beta her story. Around the same time, I accidentally found Dead Poet’s Society fic hosted on someone’s personal site when I was searching for something entirely unrelated.

At the hardware store with my dad getting some plumbing stuff. He picks up what looks like a random pipe section (to me) and says, “Now that’s cool! And handy.” Another reminder that we all have different expertise.

As an Alias fan, always happy to see JJ mentioned in such glowing terms.

Today is the one year anniversary of my mom dying. I hate it. It was a really crappy year for a lot of reasons. I’ll never stop missing her, but it doesn’t hurt more today than it did yesterday. It definitely doesn’t hurt as much as it did a year ago, so that’s at least something.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

"If a woman fancies that she looks better or feels better in men's clothes, there is no reason why she may not indulge in so harmless a fancy." The illustrated book of manners: a manual of good behavior and polite accomplishments by R. De Valcourt, 1866. archive.org/details/illu...

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Finally managed to see Return of the King. Going to the LOTR trilogy with my niece was very fun, and I am so glad it’s over now. The next movie I am forcing her to see is Titanic.

Catherine O’Hara didn’t steal scenes she just showed up and ownership automatically defaulted to her

i once bought a new blazer for a schitts creek panel, and when i walked into the green room, catherine o'hara complimented me on it, and also noted that i had forgotten to cut all the threads off the vents. and then she leaned in and said, "it's because you're going to return it, isn't it"

In all seriousness, I am so sad, and I wish the internet was wrong about this one.

Goodbye to a great actress. 😎

Well I’m glad my sister told me, and I didn’t have to read it online. I’m so bummed. This is awful.

Look, I know everything is awful, but people who don’t normally pay attention are paying attention, and that is a good thing. There’s this ostentatious rich lady I follow (gawk at) on Instagram, and she has been posting about ICE. I cannot explain to you how out of pocket this is for her.

LOTR: The Two Towers in the theater! Here we go! Woohoo!

Every time pple think of saying, “why aren’t more publications covering [topic xyz],“ please don’t. This is why. been in media for 35 years & rich assholes destroyed it. media of past no longer exists. We are trying. Subscribe. But let go of the idea of “media” from 10-20-30 years ago. That’s gone.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

Made my dad a gluten free egg mcmuffin because I am a good daughter.

I stepped outside and oh my god what the fuck no. (12° feels like -7°) I was already committed to not leaving the house this weekend, but now I am very committed.

Here’s your periodic reminder that it’s okay to like things.

First Monday of the year! 🌟 (and the world is already going to hell, yay)

This Langston Hughes poem is relevant af.

Falling asleep at 10:15 and waking up at 1:45 is sure working out for me.

Dropped my glasses under the bed just now, and it’s going to be a pain in the ass to retrieve them. Shall I find out if I can make it through the rest of the evening without them?

If you want to start off the year by tracking how much you read, here's my fic tracker. It's set up for BTS ships, but can be easily modified for your fandom once you make a copy.

It’s 2026. I’m still alive. Unsure yet if that feels like an accomplishment or a disappointment.

I’ll see yall next year ✨

If I have all of my presents wrapped now, what am I supposed to do at 11 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Like go to sleep? That can’t be right. Guess I will have to buy more presents.
