Up and ready for the Rome men's final, where I fully expect Sinner to take the title in his home country. #RomeOpen

"You're the only girl I've seen for a long time that actually did look like something blooming." F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tender is the Night.

If Coco Gauff, who battled through 3 separate and intense three-setters this week, doesn't get through Cirstea this morning to reach the Italia final (no offense to Cirstea), I'm going to be upset. #RomeOpen

Petition for everyone who mocks romance and everyone who yucks at the Bad Sex Award to have to write and share a serious sex scene first, so they can show us all how easy it is.

When a favorite author of mine shares a recommended list of books they've enjoyed this year, I can feel my stacks at home and my library card wheeze in unison. Don't recommend things you know I'll like! (Also, please never stop doing this.)

Rewatched the 1995 Pride & Prejudice series followed by The Lizzie Bennet Diaries adaptation over the weekend. What a lovely trip down memory lane! Tonight, I plan to rewatch the '05 movie and then tackle The Other Bennet Sister again later this week. Because I'm a nerd who can't help myself. 🤓

I used both "travesty" and "disarming" in casual conversations today before 8AM. I've gotta calm it down with the period drama watching 😂

Binged Masterpiece's The Count of Monte Cristo tonight. Absolutely gorgeous locations found for the series, my goodness. Scrumptious, which it should be! Do I still want to watch The Other Bennet Sister for a /fourth/ time after all that? Yes.

I binged The Other Bennet Sister last night and acquired a pile of tear-soaked tissues next to me by the time I finished. A young book-loving nerd who tries to fly even though the cage she is in continues to trap her? I'm a sucker for it every time. Gorgeously adapted. Bravo to the amazing cast!

A client left a very flattering message regarding my kindness towards them on a voicemail that was then forwarded to my boss by the person who received it. What a sweet gesture all around! Warmth and generosity really do leave lasting impressions, and I'm happy to wear them as my daily armor.

An Ocean 11 heist-esque season?! I'm in! @claudiday.bsky.social #GameChanger #Dropout youtu.be/mujrCGRPgLs?...

Meat Joe Black Stranger Than Fun'yun Fiction Love Nachos, Actually

DALLAS: Has a friend date at the library on a lovely Friday afternoon. Picks up three books that sound fun/interesting. LIBBY (library ebook app): Saturday morning - notifies Dallas that three books that have been on hold for weeks are now available to borrow. DALLAS: *wails at the heavens*

To the moooooon!!! #ArtemisII #NASA www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf_U...

Eat a gyro for lunch; smell like a gyro for the rest of the workday 😂

Sinner starting with a 97% favoritism to win this match has gotta hurt Tiafoe's feelings. I mean, the stats and their match history don't lie, but that's still tough to see, lol. #MiamiOpen

I would follow Woubble into any realm. The colorful adventures we'd traverse! Fantastic art and detail, LW, as always. <3

I want to have a little anniversary thread about the economics of running a podcast while also being a writer (and in my cohost's case, an academic) Because I think some people might think I'm living off having written a bestselling book seven years ago and lemme tell you, that doesn't math

That Tommy Paul v. Arthur Fils match from last night? FIRE. My goodness! Tommy is probably going to be feeling that one for a while. Poor guy had four match points in the final tiebreak and couldn't convert any of them into a win. #MiamiOpen

1. We Could Be So Good by Cat Sebastian 2. The Gentleman's Guide to Vice & Virtue (which continues at the end of The Nobleman's Guide to Scandal & Shipwrecks) by Mackenzi Lee And most recently! 3. Mr Collins in Love by Lee Welch (I just had the realization that all of these are MLM romances, lol)

I love that spam via fax is still a thing. Every once in a while, I'll walk into the office and see a single sheet laying on the machine with someone trying to give us 100k or some such, and I just go, "Awww."

A cozy café sim game called Tailside! I think I'll boot it up later to give it a whirl. Looks very chill. Here's a link to the Steam page if you want to check out the trailer, download the demo, or add it to your wishlist! #Tailside #cozygame store.steampowered.com/app/2922570/...

#BridgertonS4 The showrunner, Jessica Brownell, stated that she believes this season is all about lessons of courage [in all its forms], and I can see that. Not just with romance, but with communication and compromise, being true to oneself, allowing moments of honesty and vulnerability.

Okokok, it's finally here. The National Theater's production of The Importance of Being Earnest (2025) is being streamed for free on YT until the 18th! I have been SO hyped since its stage premiere last year and have been checking regularly for its release! Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBAk...

#IndianWells #BNPOpen That Draper v. Djokovic match from last night? My word!! And we get the Sabalenka v. Mboko one later? Yessss. All quarterfinals will be played today, so I'll definitely have a match or two up on my phone while I'm finishing out the workday. 🤓

The creator of Worlde, Josh Wardle, has released a new daily game called Parseword, an interactive cryptic crossword puzzle. I'm intrigued!

1. Safe for the night (and most likely the rest of the week, which is lovely), so thanks to all who reached out. 2. Vicki Mboko is wowing the pants off of me, y'all. This Canadian teen is whooping the pants off of top-ten players like it's a casual Sunday brunch! #IndianWells2026 #BNPparibasOpen

I'm spreading the news far and wide! BBC has released the ENTIRE remastered 1995 Pride & Prejudice series on YouTube in one video for everyone! I CANNOT express how repeated viewings of this boxset got me through college. Best adaptation out there, bar none. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6tJ...

I remembered that we lost the great Catherine O'Hara at the end of last month, so I've been rewatching episodes of Schitt's Creek in memoriam. What a star. What a legend. 🩷 #SchittsCreek

I didn't know this podcast existed! Laurence Fishbourne, Larenz Tate, Tika Sumpter? Let's goooo! (The article mentions that Larenz & Sumpter's characters have amazing chemistry, and let's be real, 'kay. Larenz is a fountain full of charisma. Dude is a magnet for pulling EVERYONE in.) #Bronzeville

Sooooo, this afternoon I reached the limit of physical books that can be checked out from my local library. To begin, it's the first time; therefore, woo-hoo! Secondly... I may have a problem. ... Naaaaaah! I'm amazing! 😂 😂 😂

Quick clip! That 15th century (cough20thCenturycouch) fast construction. 😂 Enjoying this Kingdom Come: Deliverance II one-shot from #CriticalRole. #KCDII youtube.com/clip/UgkxicO...

#AusOpen Let's see if I can stay awake for the entirety of this Alcaraz v. Zverez match. Rooting for Carlitos, of course!

#AusOpen Commentators were favoring Maddy Keys for this match, and I really didn't understand why. Pegula has been such an all-court player and cool as a cucumber for the better part of 2025. I understand that Madison won the slam last winter, but Jessie has been INCREDIBLY solid for the US.

Yes.

Hypothetical You: So what was your Saturday like? Me: I watched 10 episodes of The Pitt and a few British panel comedy shows. That normal? 😅

I just love /The Holiday/, y'all. Don't know what to tell ya. Jack Black as a romantic lead with Kate Winslet is the best.

Some kids are gonna be alright 👌🏽🤓

Flamin' Hot Cheetos and a double coffee to start the workday. It's a cold Tuesday, y'all.

Week 2 is almost in the books at the new job. I'm still trying to physically get back into the swing of things, but a big boon was hearing a coworker down the hall go, "Dallas is so good!" to which my boss' boss replied, "She was highly recommended to us." 😊🩷🤓🤠

A couple of Monterey Jack and Jalapeño taquitos for breakfast is totally fine, right? I deem it so because one bite into that buttery, crispy tortilla was AMAZING.

I started a new job this week (the federal funding cuts to public media eliminated my previous one), and it has actually pulled me out of my two-month reading slump, which I'm pretty sure was caused by grief. 60% of the way through Neon Gods by Katee Roberts. It's trashy, but sometimes, that hits!

Her: You have a very sunny disposition. Me: Is that a bad thing? Her: It IS Friday and I'm exhausted. 😬😂

Just saw a glimpse of the beaver full moon setting this morning, and it's HUGE! If I didn't have to scuttle to work so quickly, I would have stopped for a photo. It genuinely made me do a double take!

I did that thing where I hyper-focused on a task all morning and then left the house without eating. And now I'm sitting in a car, nauseated, because I'm riding on an empty stomach. Bad Dallas!

Up at 2AM watching Coco Gauff play in Beijing. It's lovely to see her play so solidly after an emotional US Open 🩷 #ChinaOpen

Nothing but pressure all around her, and yet, she's thriving and vibing 🩷🩷🩷

How about that? A victory for people who actually read.

Y'all. So much fun was had listening/watching these two adorable beings chat w/ each other. The hour went by too quickly! I love that Adam & Amy still stan Leslie & Ben, that they aren't jaded by fans telling Parks & Rec stories, and that they are such good buds! www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2aE...
