I did not have "Lil Wayne on a Toys R' Us float in the Macy's Parade" on my 2025 bingo card.

Go forth and grab a bit of a distraction from the crazy.

Greetings Starfighters! I would just like to say that among the groovy things found within is a (I think it's called?) spec script/idea thingamabob project La Seeeester Julie wrote to continue The Last Starfighter as a show and SOMEONE MAKE IT NOW.

As we go on our journey, we'll need tools. If you're like me, you hoard them in your inventory only to forget what you have. So I went back through my most used & useful writing supplies, barware, books & more. I'll update with vids but for now, here's the storefront: www.amazon.com/shop/juliebe...

Here’s a good place to start… be one of the first followers for @writingandwhatnot.bsky.social and bask in the glow of hipsterism. YOU followed before it was cool. 😎

I've been toiling over www.thebensonsisters.com website all day long so now you have to go look at it so it wasn't all for naught. Extra incentive: added our Disneyland pilot and a cool sci-fi pilot for ya'll to read if you're so inclined. Scroll to the bottom and click on Benson Sister Scripts!

Have a movie date with the Youngling tonight. First time in a long time he's felt up to it. Obviously gonna be extra careful because of his immune issues but I'm so happy to get to spend a few hours out with him. 💜

I don't care if my Grandma is in there. Just RELEASE THE FILES.

Really, Coke??! Y'all can bring back this nasty liquid yuck-O but not my COKE ZERO CINNAMON??! Shaaaaaaaame.

Hey Seattle!! The mayors race will be decided by very few votes. Track your ballot to make sure YOUR vote was counted. info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

Tomorrow is now today. But what to do when Abuse Daddy spent the SNAP money on paying his poker buddies to bulldoze the living room and bribed him with that sweet crypto cash that used to be our food money?

i’m really proud of this essay and am going to keep reposting it ad nauseum! (as if there’s any need to ad more nauseum - THANK YOU I’M HERE ALL WEEK!)

Timeline doom scroll breather.....

Inquiring minds want to know.

Scent of the Day: Liberal Agenda Why? Cause clean air and equal rights are rad. We also threw in some artisan tea in the mix. www.serpentandflame.com/products/lib...

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

I went thru & got all our information put in for ACA open enrollment. Same plan, without the subsidies that these GOP lackies are taking away, the plan goes up for us more than 6 times what we pay now. Cannot go without it with our household medical issues but ALSO cannot afford it. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Well if it isn't one of my favorite being's birthdays today! I hope its filled with all kinds of joy & boops and cake and shenanigans! Happy Birthday, Cookie Monster! ... Ok, also Rich. It's Rich's birthday too. 🤪🤣 Happy Birthday to one of my favorite Hatemsessss! @richardhatem.bsky.social

Fun fact- I don't watch baseball. Didn't even know it was World Series time. It's not my thing. AND YETTTTT, I do not feel the need to pounce on people who are having a blast with watching it. I'm actually LOVING seeing friends & even strangers take some joy in a thing. Give it a try. Just sayin'

here it is again for the cheap seats

Happy Halloween from 80s TV Ladies! We're taking today to pay homage to the mistress of the dark herself, Elvira! Elvira's Movie Macabre was a horror program that aired from 1981-1986! She's definitely an 80s TV Lady. Are you wearing an 80s Halloween costume tonight? Share it with us below!

Like all bts work, sometimes perfect little choices are made. The needle drop on this in the TV series #BONES was heart crushing. (Yes I stole that term from Brennan & have used it ever since instead of "heart breaking") Episode featured foster kids. Gutted me & has been on my playlist ever since.

Tonight, join us in welcoming back a dear friend of the podcast, Stan Zimmerman! Join Susan, Sharon, and Stan as they chat all about the beginning of his career in TV writing, our favorite lines from The Golden Girls, and his experiences growing up that shaped him today. Tonight at 11pm PT/2am ET!

Every year I always post the question "Is it even spooky season of Holyoke hasn't asked you to kill me yet?" This is the first Halloween since Tony Todd's passing. He was such a larger than life presence on stage and off, but more importantly he was a kind & lovely human. Ps-GO WATCH Dead of Summer

Okee dokee, Family. Good news- I'm negative for Covid, Flu and RSV. Bad News- My body is holding 32 pounds of fluid that happened in just a week. Chest X-ray tomorrow and 4 scripts called in for now but no hospital for the IV push so Sillllver lininggggg 💜💜💜

I have been away for the last week in an effort to purge some of my melancholia.... I leave y'all alone for SEVEN DAYS and .... Oy vey. Just look at this place

hey world - some of the most fun i have had with books in the past year has been @crobertcargill.bsky.social’s “sea of rust” and “day zero” - now he’s got a novella in that exact same thrilling and beautifully rendered world: GO DIVE INTO THIS AMAZING WORK OF CHARACTER AND WORLD-BUILDING!

Don’t forget to come out to Soundgrowler today if you’re near Tinley Park, IL! The Dark Arts Market is happening from 12-5pm.

Apropos of nothing, not a single thing at all, Halloween Costumes' site and Fun's site are having a big sale right now. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

#inktober #inktober2025 day 9, “heavy”

I never could decide if I was more of a Dorothy or a Rose 😘👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Well this is absolutely perfect.

What fires me up every morning is to walk in the world, listening to John Lewis, read by David Keith. “Ours is not the struggle of one judicial appointment or presidential term. Ours is the struggle of a lifetime, or maybe even many lifetimes, & each one of us in every generation must do our part."

I'm worried about my brother deciding to leave this earth. The pain,the doctors, it's become too much.He's so depressed and in so much pain. Dropping his GoFundme, if y'all donate, I owe ya CareBear stares of love. Even just pass it around. Breaks my heart to see him like this. 💜 gofund.me/d583f3b77

I firmly believe we should cheer loudly for our friends. Even Barry (my cat) was involved in the watch tonight. Did I ever in my life think JOHN CENA would make me cry? No Ma'am I did not. Did that happen during this episode? ....I cannot confirm nor deny. DON'T LOOK AT ME ITS ALERGIES! #Peacemaker

Youngling's oral chemo cycle starts today. Fingers crossed and good juju for as smooth of a week & following month as possible 💜🤞🏼

Such an extraordinary human. The world definitely lost one of its best. So sad to hear of her passing. 💜

That Quantico "meeting" was the worst infomercial ever.

Can confirm! I have this comic and it's A++++++.

hey world! going to #losangelescomiccon? i’m appearing on ONE PANEL ONLY! toxic fandom (and you know i have NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT THAT) 12pm, panel room 308ab!

No Shitface Magoo, we want the EPSTEIN FILES, not the Earhart Files.

I'm nominating the UN escalator and that horse at Buckingham Palace that crapped right in front of the Orange Menace for the Presidential Medal of Honor and the Nobel Peace Prize.

It's soooooo good! Take a break from chaos and world shenanigans to give a listen. You deserve it. Doomscroll break!!!!!
