fuck it, you all get Lee Hazlewood by way of Dean & Britta, a too-sweet song and a ridiculously silly video. I warned you. Insufferable. 🎶 I told myself I'd never/ feel again I said I'd never care what's real/ but then And baby (baby, baby) You turned my head around You turned my head around 🎵

It's good to remember what I listened to when exuberantly happy: pop post-punk. Not directly a comment... or is it? 🤔 🎶 I can see she's afraid That's why we're escaping! So we won't have to die We won't have to deny Our dirty god Our dirty bodies! 🎵

“Did you like that necklace I got you? You don’t remember? I gave it to you last week. You said you loved it. You really forgot that quickly?”

I'm not going to inflict John Denver on you at 8 in the morning but I am sitting here sobbing happy tears to "Calypso" like the romantic fool that I am. 😭

Something I have been thinking about a lot! That… also relates to my pinned post. 😅

Sometimes life is about making difficult sandwiches.

To all the late transitioners out there: Thank you for helping to normalize late-in-life transition. Your openness took away so much of my fear, allowing me to finally see my own transition as a valid and hopeful possibility.

🎶 20,000 miles to an oasis 20,000 years will I burn 20,000 chances I've wasted Waiting for the moment to turn I would give my life to find it I would give it all Catch me if I fall 🎵

draft 2 completed. ready for markup. 11 hours to go... i wanna be sedated. that phase of paper writing when you don't know if this makes any fucking sense at all but you don't care anymore. is this the right citation? i can no longer feel my own face

tfw you realize that the guy who screams unhinged swear insults in Scottish in The Thick of It became… Doctor Who. 😳

Paper is due in 30 hours. *my brain*: Hey remember when for grad school you wrote for 24 hours over a 3 day period and got high passes on everything? LFG! 🔥 *also my brain*: Hey remember when you got high passes through all of grad school and it turned out not to matter for diddly shit? 🤦‍♀️

🎵 We don't know anything You don't know anything I don't know anything About love And we are nothing (whoa-whoa!) You are nothing I am nothing Without love 🎶

angel: *descends to wrestle with Jacob* Jacob: *already oiled up and covered in sand* angel: what? Jacob: what

“Did you get those paintings of the biblical story of Jacob struggling with God?” “Sure did boss, real f*cking sexy just like you asked” “Good”

It happened to me. I like playing Indian music while writing, and I found one of those 1.5-hour background videos on YouTube. And it was really good! Totally slapped, as the kids say. Looked it up at the end of the night and yeah, AI.🤦‍♀️ The worst thing is that now it's stuck in my head on repeat. 😵‍💫

Also the one at the fifth gas station that works, the credit card reader is broken and only accepts coins, which you don't have because you are not a pirate from the 1650s.

🎵 With no respect for the warning The violence of yearning Defiance of learning In protected encryption The voice of addiction You know the song This thing could go two ways Won't be another exit for days So pack a small suitcase Anything else can be easily replaced 🎶

I have to write a paper 😭 so... talk amongst yourselves.

Thank you everyone. ❤️‍🔥 It was weird. He didn't seem malicious at all; I think he was just tired. Just annoying that my pronouns are right there. The funny part was that I had a shul meeting immediately after where someone who doesn't know my pronouns used "she." Again... who the fuck knows! 🤷‍♀️

Love ending the semester by being misgendered repeatedly by the prof. On zoom. Where my pronouns. Are right there. Ffs.🤦‍♀️

🎵 Was I surprised? Yeah Was I surprised? Well, not at all... And when I wake up on the dreary Sunday morning I open up my eyes to find there's rain And something strange within me says, go ahead and find her Just close your eyes, yeah Just close your eyes and she'll be there... 🎵

*bursts out in uncontrollable laughter* 😂

I meant to compose this yesterday but forgot.

Pretending to be a smart, responsible professional. (Guest lecturing about history with a friend.)

Substitute pretending to be a mature mid-50s woman, and all kinds of teenager. But don't wait for the hug. Give and receive with one another. 🫂

Just really grateful for friendship and love and being able to exist and helping others to exist and feeling at peace with the universe. See? Insufferable.

Thought of this on the drive home and had to pull over because I was sobbing my eyes out. 😭😭😭😭 It is never too late.

A wild @torificallytori.bsky.social appears!!! 🥳🎉

I do not want to jinx anything but... watch this space. 😀

Lila-coded characters

🎵 Jump the fences Dodge the junk cars We'll go dancing Through the graveyard And those who move swiftly Won't be left behind Things happen quickly This is the great new life This is the great new life This is the great new life! And it's a wonderful world tonight... 🎶

Taps the sign

look, i told you all i would be completely insufferable

Unsolicited life advice. You should tell your crushes that you’re crushing on them. 🫣 I didn’t say it was *good* advice! 😅

The friend who gave me the sign last night is asking for career advice. They want to get a PhD in creative writing. I am the WRONG PERSON to ask for career advice. But I always tell people not to get a PhD. It is the route to unending bitterness. This world doesn't value good things.

Rolling on your tit in the bed = owwwphoria

Desk sign, a gift from a dinner guest. 😅

This is an excellent film, not least for showing how important holiday traditions originate. Traditions such as pointless, unending intra-family conflict. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EEl...

sorry: in this commercial www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4fH...

23's British bf joins for the annual tradition of my kids indulging me by watching #MST3K for Turkey Day for 10 minutes. But they all know @felicia.day and are super impressed that she's on the show! (My thanks to whoever posted this from Avalanche... Felicia has amazing pipes.)

Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell is a really, really great episode... great riffs, really cheesy movie. But I'm really glad that they moved off of the "Dr. Forrester's mom is a shrill hysteric" stereotype. It was so much funnier to have Pearl be a total badass who tortured everyone. #mst3k

It’s my Thanksgiving tradition to donate my day’s wages to a local Indigenous organization. If you’re able to, I highly recommend doing the same!! #LandBack

Already laughing my ass off... what an awesome tradition. 🦃

Last time 28 was here he complained that the place didn't smell great. The pets let me live here, what can I say. So now there are all these candles and febreezes going and the house smells like a Parisian cathouse. 😅

The Magneto helmet is supposed to keep Professor X from reading his mind but let’s be real he bought the helmet and made up an excuse

This has always been one of my favorite podcasts - I love the combination of world building and suspense they achieve in every season. But this one just hit the “holy crap!” level of amazing.

Never been so excited to get a tote bag, lol. Excited to lead the work at my shul with @keshetlgbtqjews.bsky.social!

This is ghastly. Don't do this to yourself!

My weekly reminder to my friends who are Eagles fans that if you just picked up your TV and threw it out the window on a day like this, you would have a happier and more enjoyable life. 😞
