Dear Lord, Let me not surround myself with people who would react this way to my death. I can think of no greater punishment. Amen.

She's baaaa-aaack...

Just a very chill memoir with a very chill title 💙

The NHL advertising to me after watching #HeatedRivalry like, sir, the hockey is not what I'm watching for. 🤣

The song "Twelve Days of Christmas" shows the fundamental disconnect in Western Culture. While birds still fulfill their traditional roles (calling, a-laying, a-swimming, being French sometimes...?) and women continue their societal roles (work: a-milking, and dancing: on TikTok, mostly) ...

The way I can watch a Benoit Blanc film and think "Yes, Daniel Craig himself probably handpicked this ensemble cast"? Crazy.

It's tough being a Rosalía girl in a Taylor world.

In honour of Grokipedia's birth, just donated $100 to Wikipedia. Consider it a baby shower gift.

Let #WestEndGirl be the final nail in the coffin for the idea that you can do non-monogamy with a cishet man. Please.

(1/3) A propos of [gestures vaguely at the world], when I was thirteen I found a silly romance novel in the library in which everyone was getting barcode tattoos to simplify payments, cross police checkpoints, etc. The twist was that medical records were attached ...

People keep talking about AI ethics like we haven't been banging on about it for years.

REMINDER: we don't rat on our fellow workers, neighbors, or community members. When in doubt, mind your business. Our solidarity is a precious and powerful thing. We must defend and deepen it, now more than ever.

Oooh there's lots of overlap between Kate Wagner's severe concussion and the stroke I'm currently healing from:

If you're about to put an album out, I beg of you, please have your name clearly marked across the top. Sincerely, a record store browser
