So do they pay you to take the drugs now?

Greatest Christmas of all time BTW, and it’s not particularly close

Got our living room finished and super cozy just in time for the first snowfall ❄️🎄⛄️

We’ve officially become those people that run 5Ks on holidays. Time was only 16 seconds slower than my last one despite doing absolutely no training this time around.

If you didn’t enjoy this, you don’t enjoy good TV. #Survivor49

Since it’s nearly Christmas Music Season ™️, what’s your favorite, not well-known version of a classic Christmas song? I’ll start: Caylee Hammack goes hard AF (esp. on the last 48 seconds) on this version of Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)

Our house is starting to look very cozy 🎅

I walk around singing songs like Wanda Shirk all of the time and my BF who has never seen #Survivor49 just thinks I’m being silly.

No Christmas tree is complete without Mr. Bingle #IYKYK

One saving grace for America is that this administration has not a single competent comms professional. The immediate response to the video should’ve been, “Well, that’s pointless. We’d never ask troops to do anything illegal.”

Yall they put crack in these sumbitches they’re selling at Aldi. I’ve nearly finished two bags, and it’s not been time to be eating them yet.

Hear me out… I LOVE Cirie, and I would have LOVED seeing her and @flutedyke.bsky.social on #TAR38 together. BUT I also think Izzy and @paigeseber.bsky.social’s relationship, love and support for one another being highlighted esp. THIS year is so important.

Just finished our exterior holiday decorations, and they came out SO good this year. (May also add some lights on the peak of the house, but I hate getting on the roof 😅😬)

I need the country music gods to take all of the notoriety they gave to Megan and give it to Carter Faith, Kaitlin Butts, Maggie Antone, Willow Avalon, etc, instead. I don’t mean to be rude, but when country music only platforms like THREE women at a time, it HAS to be better than this. HAS TO.

Is it a hot take to say this is the best collection of songs Orville Peck has released thus far in his career?

I’m sorry, but if you didn’t vote to U-turn Jag/Jas and Tucker/Eric (not that it really mattered), do you even want to win? I love Taylor, Kyland, Joseph and Adam, but what are we doing protecting anyone at the final 6? #TAR38

My bfs out of town at a conference, so I went to his nephew’s birthday gathering with his family, and while there, his niece called me “Uncle Hunter,” which she’s never done before. It honestly made me a little emotional bc these are the days young Hunter dreamed of when he came out 12 years ago.

Books #15 and #16 of 2025: Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight I’m pissed no one told me about this series before because it’s good as hell. Taking a one-book break to read Parv’s book, then I’m going to get back to it. #BookSky

Do I like the Red Clay Strays? No. Am I happy they won bc I have prayed for Old Dominion’s downfall for years?

MC looked hot as f*ck walking into tribal council. #Survivor49 I say this as a 100% gay man, so this is the ultimate compliment

If you see this, QTP with a video game that transports you back to your childhood!

I know you shouldn’t hate a player bc of his performance on your fantasy team, but Justin Herbert has let me down so many times over the years that there’s no way for me to not take it personally.

I really want to like the new Robyn song, but it makes me think of: 1) The Friends episode where Ross plays the keyboard bc there are SO many random sound effects going on. 2) The part in Pitch Perfect where Brittany Snow’s character gets nodules & can sing super low. (The little womp sound)

QTP with your favorite fighting pokemon 💪

One of my #Survivor49 hot takes is that Kathy Vavrick-O’Brien is on my Mt. Rushmore of best to never win. She was delightful on @robhasapodcast.bsky.social this week. My full list is Cirie, Rob C, Kathy and the last spot changes on when you ask me. Today, it’s Wentworth.

It’s so funny listen to Christian talk about two of the #Survivor49 cast members* on @robhasapodcast.bsky.social like he didn’t just play a season with them on #Survivor50. *not sharing their names in case there are people who aren’t spoiled.

My bf is going out of town for a conference this week, and I’m taking the week off from the gym bc I’ve worked out fourth months straight without a break, so I’m about to be a lazy piece of shit after work everyday this week.

It’s raining leaves today which means beautiful fall is nearly over and three months where everything looks dead is almost here. 😔 🍁

Just want to share bc I’m super proud of it, but I took pictures of stained glass windows for a calendar for the historical society that I’m on the board for, and it came out SO beautiful.

Someone give me Mr. And Mrs. Abdin’s phone number. I need to thank them for raising two unproblematic, kind, non-douchey sons in this day and age. Joseph and Adam really are my baby bois. #TAR38

The MTG vs. Trump cat fight is so much more fun for me than the Elon vs. Trump fight. I could see those two pathetic men with fragile egos having a falling out coming from a mile away. I never thought Marge would disobey her leader.

Time for your weekly music recs, starting with Kaitlin Butts’ Yeehaw Sessions, an EP of songs she covered in her set on her most recent tour. All four work for me, but “Red Wine Supernova” and Jimmy Eat World’s “The Middle” are clear standouts.

Does anyone else find it ironic that Shannon knows Boston Rob and got advice from him before the season. She was the last person voted about before jury, and so was Rob in Marquesas. That means if Shannon comes back three more times, she could win! #Survivor49

I just want to say that character-wise and chemistry-wise, Uli is one of the best-assembled tribes of the new era. Literally every character was a hit for me, and their dynamics have led to so much drama and entertainment. #Survivor49

Me, someone who previously worked in a toxic local news environment, listening to Savannah talk about working in a toxic local news environment. #Survivor49

Justice for: 1) Sophie bc she’s such a good character. I’m so mad they hid her for so long. 2) MC just bc I love her #Survivor49

Postmerge of #Survivor49 is EATING. That was a phenomenal episode, IMO

The drop off in star power from Sandra and Nina to Analyse 😂 ☠️ #Survivor49 #BB27

Time for your weekly music recs! This Friday has a lot of releases I’m excited about, but there was still a lot to like last week. Starting with Bella White, whose voice is on my Mt. Rushmore of current voices, and “Little Things.”

I’ve been taking social media breaks on the weekend since I have to be on it so much during the workweek, and it’s been so good for my mental health.

I love how anytime there’s a democrat with a lot of charisma (see Obama, Mamdani), republicans start sharing bible quotes comparing them to Satan. And they’re just over here like, “I just want everyone to have access to healthcare.”

So torn bc #SurvivorAU returning without JLP is so incredibly sad…. BUTTTTT my baby boi eye candy Simon Mee is back on this season, sooooo….

Clarence deserved a second chance! #Survivor49

Is it just me or is #Survivor49 starting to really heat up these past couple weeks? It took awhile, but the water’s starting to boil. Also, is it just me or does this season have an old school feel?

I’ve said this week, but I love Sage so much. She’s such a fun narrator and does such a great job of explaining her thinking. #Survivor49

Jeff Probst talking about players’ balls doesn’t hit the same way it does when JLP does it. #Survivor49 #SurvivorAU

The fact that a lot of Republicans are more angry about New York City electing a Democratic Socialist than they would have been if the literal sexual predator on the ballot who previously resigned in disgrace had been elected tells you everything you need to know about the state of that party.

Not only did Dems sweep all of the races, but the school district I work for also passed a prop with over 66% of the vote. It’s a DAMN good night
