been trying to avoid this as long as possible, but I'm definitely in need of emergency mutual aid since, like every other journalist in this godforsaken economy I'm unemployed and it's tremendously bad rn. Any help appreciated. I hate this, thanks. cashapp is $ShadyDame PayPal is sorayamcdonald

We’re taking the toddler to the Reptile and Pet Expo this weekend and I have already warned my husband that we may be coming back with an emotional support emerald tree boa.

Got me out here mad at Mark DeRosa *and* supporting the Red Sox smh…

The “with Toni Collette” credit in the Singleton Shaft never fails to take me out. Somehow a shock every time.

A LHP randomly getting appendicitis in the middle of a season is very Cubs core.

Do I Have a Flat Tire or is He Trying to Holler?: An LA Commute Story

The Babylon soundtrack is woefully underrepresented in the Playlists for When It Happens conversation.

The American Library Association is auctioning off a bunch of the classic celebrity “READ” posters along with a bunch of other full sized literacy posters. This is going to fix so many of my problems, I just know it. movieposters.ha.com/c/search/res...

Fucked up and did not charge a single thing, MacBook included, before leaving the house to write this morning 🤡

I’m in season 3 of The Good Fight (I know we’ve been doing this rewatch forever but getting through the last season and a half of The Good Wife was a slog) and my favorite thing about it is how since season 2 they now suddenly just live in Gotham City.

What is this Sunday in the Park ass suit?

Hey so in the most recent Antiques Roadshow a woman brought in her great grandmother’s preserved jar of Valentine’s Day neco wafers — one of which has a portrait of Grover Cleveland printed on it — from the year 1890.

A home run on the third (3rd) pitch of the game. So glad my kid is getting the authentic Cubs Season experience.

Cannot believe this is happening right as we’re likely about to go into another Star Trek drought. Though I guess Apollo 8 happened after TOS had been cancelled as well. Just comes along to help us dream.

It was very hard for me to be excited about Artemis. I just needed it to be over and successful before I could celebrate. But now I can and holy shit this is so cool.

these motherfuckers said it would splashdown at 8:07 and it splashed down at 8:07. after going to the fucking moon. fucking a man. god damn

Sometimes my Fandom collecting intersects with my Racist Black Americana collecting in unexpected ways. ✨Computer, enhance.✨

I’ve attended three (3!!!!) evening social events over the last four days and I am pleased to report that each one has had an attendee who shares my hyper fixation on a local, incredibly niche themed bar/cafe that just opened and absolutely feels like a Ponzi scheme.

I took my kid to a local bar to watch WBC baseball. He had his first ever grilled cheese and locked the fuck in to root for Venezuela. I cannot put into words how happy it made me??? This is really all I ever wanted to have a baby for lmao.

Swann Galleries is having a Black art auction with pieces from Jacob Lawrence, Elizabeth Catlett, Carrie Mae Weems, & more. I can’t afford any of this — including that Lawrence Toussaint print that I’ve been obsessed with for a minute — but it’s a nice scroll. www.swanngalleries.com/auction-cata...

We have moved into a NEIGHBORS building. So many people have kindly and beautifully introduced themselves to us, and of course I’m convinced we’ve made a horrible impression on all of them because we didn’t know where to find the blankets for the elevator for the first two hours of our move in.

If you’re in LA I cannot recommend REAL RocknRoll movers enough. This is our third move with them. It’s gonna be 92* in the Valley today and even though we have them packing our kitchen (and I have been so underfoot otherwise because EYE was not ready) they are making great time as always.

Update: they came and put scaffolding up, did an afternoon of work outside on the 3rd, and left. We’ve heard nothing since, but they did leave the scaffolding up and this morning I noticed two pairs of men’s shorts laid across our balcony railing to dry in the sun. They are not my husband’s shorts.

There was a 911 across the street this morning that the LAFD had to put up truck ladders for. Took the baby onto the balcony so he could watch and explained fire trucks to him. Many other parents in the building were doing the same. Couldn’t see them, but we could all hear each other.

8 weeks ago our building came and tore out the wall around the window in our nursery bc of a leak on the building's roof that was letting water into our apt when it rained. Then they just... left it. I've been emailing with them for weeks now and kept being told "we're waiting on our vendor".

Each time I wake up from an uninterrupted 8 hours of sleep or take this kid to an afternoon brunch where he is perfectly content to sit in his stroller, wave at people, and try a parade of new foods without complaint, I am more and more committed to my one and done stance.

Well, on the plus side, I did still manage to get out of the house by 7:30 to start these rewrites. Only gonna get one scene done because [gestures broadly] but this is better than option B, which was "say fuck it, light a joint at 9am, and disassociate."

I feel the same about featuring children during the state of the union as I do about featuring children in a season of Love After Lockup.

I’m just here for Freebird.

She ain’t beating the Mother Gothel charges.

Taking an edible and watching Pairs for the first time all season 😎

I finished watching the men’s free skate.

I got spoiled in so many ways (including from the Peacock app itself 🙄) but I am just hitting play on the second group of programs because Peacock took their fucking time getting that replay up. I cannot wait to watch this; I know results but I have no clue how any of it happened.

Okay my big FB/Cizeron note is that if *I* can see a mistake on a twizzle that isn’t a huge step out or fall it is *not* a “small glitch”, as NBC commentators called it.

I’ve been spoiled, but I’m making my way through the free dance now so that I can have opinions.

American Girl is doing adult novels about the OG historical dolls in celebration of their 40th, beginning with Samantha. Sam has so far been the tentpole in expanding the franchise and world building this year, with the Girl of the Year being her great-granddaughter.

The four year skating fan commentary is worse than usual this year? I’m hearing so much backflip discourse and yet not a single person commenting could pick Adam Siao Him Fa out of a crowd.

Thank you, Isabeau, for representing those of us who are just everyday normies from the Garden State.

It is not too soon to call ICE "detention centers" "concentration camps" nor is it too late to accurately call "juvie and jails and prisons" "concentration camps" too

Another tally on the “John Chu was the wrong choice for In the Heights” grudge sheet I’ve been holding onto since 2021. The direction, staging, and camera work of this halftime show needs to be awarded.

Okay so that was 100% more Lady Gaga than I was expecting.

Well I hated the “be nice to your racist white neighbor” commercial.

Shun and Kaori deserve a parade through the athlete villages tbh.

“This is going to come down to a kitten’s whisper.” I am stealing this from Johnny Weir.

The group chat asked for my Ilia opinions and frankly that was the only appropriate place to put them.

I refuse to shed a tear for Italy, but that performance and his reaction after were undeniable.

Tuberitze looking normal and approachable as usual.

If you don’t love Team Japan, there is something wrong with you. #MilanoCortina2026 #FigureSkating
