Had a nightmare last night that Ralph Fiennes emerged from my fish pond and ate my girl cat. Ok.

Watched Jesus Christ Superstar with loved ones yesterday to celebrate, which completely holds up. Seeing that movie on repeat while being raised Catholic by folks towards the leftist end of the spectrum certainly explains why I'm ✨like this✨.

Happy return of the dark mother to all those who celebrate. Let's all go around the table and say what we're @contrapoints.bsky.social for.

My toxic trait is I can read any academic text and make my response to it about Mark Fisher.

On the one hand, the fauxgressive idiot high school ex-boyfriend who SA-ed me habitually and stalked me has a massive banner on his bluesky page that says "you are what you do" (ironic, damning, hoisted by own petard, etc.) On the OTHER hand a quick scroll verifies I am still infinitely funnier.

The internet was a lot better before men found out what maxillas and canthal tilts are.

Wow I just found out that the band Tool are atheists. Their songs make a lot more sense now 🤯

My relationship style is usually described as monogamy but actually monolatry is much more accurate.

Americans sit in their cars in parking lots SO MUCH.

What’s going on with my "tops" and, in some cases, "bottoms?”

I disappeared for awhile. I have been volunteering and doing yoga. I'll be around when I'm around ✌️

Absolutely beefing with whoever didn't tell me that press on nails would make me feel like a full on goddess immediately

Sometimes I fear we live in an Objectivist simulation, then I remember that in our universe novelty metal billionaires aren't just amoral they're also too dumb to invent Rearden Steel so their stupid novelty metal bridges (in our case dumpster trucks and tin can submersibles) just fail.

Tethered Together is this weekend, and I am thrilled to be producing the Saturday night show, Circus of Elements! 🌿🌊🔥💨 Earth, Water, Fire, & Air – bring the elements to life as Tethered Together & @twistedwindows.bsky.social combine aerial acrobatics, dance, drag, and spoken word.

Sometimes a family is one white woman and her family sized bag of peanut butter m&ms

Ok I have a great problem because Americans are finally learning about Canadian current events. This is about the correct way to pronounce "premier" (the leader of a province) and if you get it right you'll be better than most US media.

For the last time it's not "blush blindness" I'm flagging sapphic 🩷

The Diplomat

I get this a lot (and was almost named after her!)

Are you coming to Tethered Together? I'm helping with the Saturday night show – dance/circus performances are fully booked, but we have openings for a few spoken word pieces! Details: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... 📸: Qatherine, photo by JD

Going full freedom fries. Honestly I'm fine with this.

What movie have you seen that scared you the most? Like one that still sort of wigs you out to this day?

There's a list of like a dozen really niche videos essays I'll probably never make and one of them is definitely a post-structuralist analysis of masculine performance at the gym, through pump covers and rest period activities.

Rewatching the fast and the furious for the first time in 200 years or whatever.

It's been a really interesting week for finding out how much seemingly relevant higher education Americans can have on paper without ever even accidentally uncovering basic information about Canada or Mexico (it's a lot.)

No cheating. Your last saved celeb pic is your therapist 😂😂😂

Lets just share some Art. This is a photographic reiteration of the performance "Gold" with @caritia.bsky.social & @thebishopblack3000.bsky.social . Photography by @renedesans.bsky.social

This will probably range from nice Pollyanna sentiments to centre of a microwaved hot pocket takes, so sure why not! 1 like = 1 piece of advice (i mean, it’s *kinda* solicited, then?) But definitely random

When I was researching FEED--the first of a series of novels about pandemics and their effects--I ran across one of the most frightening concepts I had ever seen in non-fiction. It held that humanity has been living in the anthropocene--the human age--but was approaching the pandemicene.

I'm a culturally Catholic atheist theology nerd and am going to hijack my own account to talk about the concept of grace for a minute because the language has come up in several conversations lately and I think that when informed by theology, it's even more beautiful to secular people. 🧵 1/8

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

A baby.

I took a lot of the last year to manage life and grief and change, so it was hard to keep this to myself until after the official announcement. A and I will be co-presenting two classes at Tethered Together, and I will be teaching an additional two on my own. More details soon 🎪🎠✨

Nosferatu was pretty hot, very beautiful.

Nothing in the Saw franchise compares to the cruelty of Love Actually

"People are jealous and that's why they don't like me" is like calling yourself a genius, classy, or humble. If you're saying it in public there's likely a compelling general consensus theory floating around that you might find enlightening.

I don't really believe the universe "sends" people lessons, but think the metaphor that the universe sends you the same lesson over and over until you learn it has some utility.

Oh WHAT NOW.

Even if they convict Mangione the conjugal visits alone will bankrupt the state

This video was great, 10/10 recommend and also reminded me that I should go down a personal rabbithole about Calvinists and satanic panic at some point.

A dear friend of mine was unexpectedly laid off and needs a little help to get through the holiday season. Email me proof of a $50 donation to their gofundme (linked in the comments), and I will send you a clip of your choice from my clipstores!

This is Kathleen. We hear her sometimes. She was hanging out in the front yard tonight and she would turn and watch every time one of us spoke (inside the completely sealed house.) I guess I'd never considered that she hears us sometimes too.

What's dating you like? (using one gif/meme) 👀

Ok!

Quick intro for new names and faces following. I'm Adair Alia! DMV area kinkster, model, dancer, teacher. My kink areas of interest are performance art, rope, sharps, blood, and multi-layered power exchange. .

Oh no please don't! When wonky Americans describe political appointees as "czars" I cringe so hard that it shortens my botox lifespan.
