40 years ago today, The Golden Girls, which informed the way I move in the world as a woman, premiered. Here's to being the 5th child in the '80s whose parents didn't care what she watched on Saturday nights as long as she didn't disrupt their card game! 🍰 (not cheesecake, I know)

Considering spending real adult money on custom stationery. Pls advise.

Weird how in remembering a 20-year-old video game I didn't remember it actually being legitimately hard.

It's post-surgery comfort-tv time. First up: Girls 5Eva.

UGH. First of all, Memorial Day is for military folks who are dead. Also, COPS AREN'T MILITARY.

Omg why does Netflix's UI suck so bad. Isn't this literally all they do?!

"Only the Good Die Young" is one of the worst pop songs in history.

Diggity Memorial, the hip hop funeral home

I just saw the most disgusting commercial of my life, for some flea medication. Well done.

Leaving a group you never really belonged in is a relief.

Common Side Effects is the best show you're not watching.

I wonder how jingle singers feel about those jobs.

I just found out that the school I attended grades 2-8 is closing. I strongly believe this is a good thing, but the memories are strong.

Fulbright semi-finalists are not being evaluated politically. To be clear: I had already made my decision not to go, and there are people who are suffering far worse than these applicants, but this is certainly alarming.

I love a dry run!

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

No one is allowed to email me unless they're from the Fulbright committee.

You guys, this Target thing is gonna kill me. I tried purchasing from Walgreens and it was a hellscape.

Idk all the time, but never idc. I always c.

I like Ken Jennings, but when Neilesh thanked him, Johnny Gilbert, and the rest of the Jeopardy! crew for getting his name right, Ken acknowledged it with the casualness of someone with common first and last names. Names are a really big deal, and getting them right is extraordinarily important.

Out past 8 on a school night?! Who is she?!

Several red state AGs including mine are suing to dismantle 504s in schools. Please, call your reps and AGs to demand they let all children learn in public schools. The end goal is to delete all special education services. All accommodations.

Going to start pronouncing David Mamet "Daveed Ma-MAY" just to see who says something.

"I think most people can tell you the exact day and time their lives changed drastically, but it’s not a requirement."

Lennon Parham is TV's unsung heroine.

Got this stuck in my head for some idiot reason.

Grilled cheese cut diagonally remains unbeaten.

Men, amirite?

Me: not doing the Fulbright even if they offer it. Also me: When am I gonna hear from the Fulbright committee?

Reading back over some of my writing (two incomplete novels), I realize that I care more about sleep than basically anything else. I have written pages upon pages about it. Not surprising, but very telling.

Some days I wish I could skip washing my hair. Unfortunately such an endeavor requires planning and forethought and this feeling is really more of a whim.

It is so satisfying to get an "omg" response from some people, the same way it's satisfying to get a laugh out of the stoics among us. I'll be chasing this high all day.

This is church. This is church.

I'm Sorry on Hulu+. ❤️

In which I discover that my bite guard was essentially a pacifier and now I can't sleep.

First rejection letter. Cue Chuck Mangione!

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

So... I just submitted some of my fiction. *hides under bed*

Note to self: quit wishing your life away.

Let's all take a moment and remember that I am not a poet.

Apparently every guy in St. Louis either loves to kill animals or fronts a band. Is there no in-between?

I have a note from my doctor that says everyone has to be nice to me

Trying to channel Christo, but is art — even impermanent — even really art if it hasn't been shared? In related news, freaking out about missing writing on flash drives.

I can't sleep again, so I suppose it's time to cop to the insomnia having returned. 2 am, from this perspective, is neither fun nor pretty.

There was a question at yesterday's tournament about rhoticity in language and I had to stifle a laugh bc I always think "rhoticity chicken."

I have not fact checked, so any corrections are welcome. I'm grasping here, guys.
