There has been a smoke detector low-battery alarm going off for HOURS in a nearby apartment and it is driving me insane. I’ve been awake since 4:30am because it is a literal torture device.

I have never seen so much dousing of bodies with water as I have during this Tour. And we’re only 10 stages in. The organization is notorious for not putting the safety of cyclists first, it always takes lead riders speaking out for change to occur.

I saw the live-action Moana trailer before Toy Story 5 the other day & I am wildly disappointed in the flat wig they put on The Rock. The audacity to claim his hair is glorious!

Why are all of these monitors broken? For weeks now. And only on the eastbound side. This station is brand new! @metrolosangeles.bsky.social

My step-dad died a year ago and now my mom has to sell her house. It’s not my childhood home, she’s only lived there for 14 years, but I’m still feeling some kind of way about it. If you’re looking for a cute little house for your family in Huntington Beach here you go. Good schools, lots of kids.

Eva Marie Saint is 102 today!

I’m currently watching The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard and am asking myself, why? #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

Heavens to Betsy are playing in November. In Pasadena. For $46. 🫪

I keep seeing all of this coverage of Trump’s desolate fair, but I’m waiting to see what it looks like this weekend before I laugh too hard at it. Like maybe people are waiting until the 4th? I dunno. I didn’t even think it was supposed to happen until this weekend, but I guess that would be crazy.

Remember being a kid in 1976 and the excitement of getting a bicentennial quarter? It was palpable!

This is one of the ways in which my husband and I express love to one another: if the song is heard I act as though I’ve been stabbed in the back and am pointing at the knife, he laughs. Every time. True love!

I’m concerned that there are adults shitting themselves simply because they didn’t want to miss something. That this was a woman is the most shocking part to me. Ma’am, you have reached levels of depravity so far only reached by the grossest of teenage boys. 🤮

I had tickets for Maddie’s Secret yesterday & Jackass today but I appear to be sick again, so I canceled 😕 #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

This whole thread 🐝🥹

I just watched A Bigger Splash yesterday 😔 boxd.it/4xJU

My sister and her husband are looking into buying property once her Irish citizenship comes through and I can’t tell you how excited I am to “retire” in Ireland.

No clue how many reps this was but that Jimmy leg cracks me up regardless

It is so confusing to me when progressive types vote for the least progressive candidates. Like, what?

My sister and her husband organized several surprises for my mom’s 80th birthday & so far we’ve pulled off two, despite four of us nearly blowing it several times. The surprise party this afternoon is the final test. 🤞

😔

Criterion Channel didn’t bother to create a Marilyn Monroe collection in honor of her 100th birthday and I’ve never been so disappointed in a streaming platform.

I REALLY didn’t want to vote for a billionaire, but in the end I voted for a billionaire 🤷‍♀️ Even if he accomplishes half of what he’s promising it’ll be better than what anyone else is offering.

Don’t mind me, I’m just off to pick up $55 worth of cheesecake (4 pieces)

I love waking up to gifts 🥰

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched I just started No Sleep Till boxd.it/N10e

OMG I AM DED uquiz.com/quiz/rd4pgt/...

When B’s normally $30 insulin pen (w/ ins. & a coupon) rang up as $948 today the pharmacist suggested I use TrumpRx & pay $199 instead. First of all, I’m not fucking using TrumpRx, and second, if it’s normally $30 why would I pay $200?? 🤨

My sistercousin & her husband just returned from Ireland and they said EVERYONE asked what she & he thought of Trump, then proceeded to share all of their hateful thoughts about him. 🤣 We ♥️ you, Éire!

I was happy to vote for Hugo again and I’m excited to see HLA implemented, finally!

My mom is about to turn 80 and she has a scheduled physical once a year. Because she’s healthy.

Me in my Bluesky bubble

I woke up at, what I thought was, 8:45 this morning. Turns out it was 6:45 and now I am so very tired. I have a movie in two hours. Time which I will squander wondering if I can fit in a nap, instead of actually napping.

We all need this palate cleanser, right? 🥹🥰

I have an hour and a half to decide if I’m seeing Saccharine at Alamo or Julia Wertz at Skylight Books. The former has a comfy reserved seat, the latter has an uncomfortable seat or SRO if I don’t get there early enough. Both are live Q&As. Choices. 🤔

Introduce yourself with 10 bands/artists you’ve seen live: Twin Temple Bikini Kill Taco Cat Frankie and the Witch Fingers X Lambrini Girls Shannon and the Clams The B-52’s Death Valley Girls The Coathangers I chose bands/artists I’ve seen in the last 10 years

I don’t even carry my government-issued ID with me anymore, that’s how infrequently I am asked to show it

I picked up a few little things at the LA Queer Zine Fest yesterday 🩵

😻

Does proofreading exist anymore? Every article I read has either typos or grammatical errors, sometimes both.

We did our civic duty 🗳️

We have 61 candidates for governor in this primary. It’s fucking nuts. At least 55 of those are non-starters, but still. It’s exhausting.

I better not get hit by a car again! If I go anywhere it will be via foot or pt for at least a week beforehand.

Fellow Angelenos, it seems Bass is trying to ensure she runs against Pratt instead of Raman. Just like Schiff did with Garvey. @nithyaforthecity.bsky.social is the better choice.

I love you, LAABF 🙈
