I guess that now Heated Rivarly is on hiatus, I will give Pluribus a shot. I just have been so hesitant to take on new shows for some reason these days.

Really touched by the Heated Rivalry finale in terms of showing the easy intimacy between lovers (a word I support.) And just cracking up over Ilya freaking out over the loons and Shane’s dad saying, “And there were no nice men in Montreal?”

Merry Christmas! I am wearing my favorite holiday sweater and socks to lunch.

It’s not Christmas until Grace Jones tries to assassinate Reagan.

And the very next day you gave it away.

Christmas Eve.

Twas the night before the night BEFORE Christmas. #haunteddavidart #holidaybeefcake #supportqueerartists #queerart #holidayhorror #cryptmas #ghost

Kind of a nightmare twelve hours with Yurei having sudden health issues in the middle of the night. He is doing Ok and the vet doesn’t think it is serious (just some stomach upset), but I didn’t sleep and I am rattled.

Weiss is bad at this. It’s too big a stage. She’s the Kash Patel of journalism

Krampus was kind and ensured I got a copy of Heated Rivalry on the Winter Solstice.

Today is the #WinterSolstice, the longest, darkest night of the year. The burning of the #Yule log wards off whatever evil lurks in the darkness and heralds the coming of longer, brighter days. #haunteddavidart #holidaybeefcake #supportqueerartists #queerart #fatherchristmas #hirsute #beardeddaddy

The Golden Girls are required Christmas viewing for me.

I rewatched Eyes Wide Shut last night, not only one of my favorite movies but also one of my favorite Christmas movies.

This tracks.

Obviously not a morning person.

I think about how my mom thought it was not only a good idea to rent Serial Mom for me when I was 9, but also to watch it with my grandmother. Which means my grandmother inadvertently saw a scene from Deadly Weapons. Unsuprisingly, she was scandalized, but my mom and I laughed our asses off.

Love my friend’s supper club that he hosts in his backyard.

John Oliver really was not kidding about the overwhelming rebellious power of just saying “Fuck you, make me.”

Just your boy bah humbugging in the Christmas bar. Got to be the storm cloud at the picnic wherever I roam.

Christmas Season 2025.

Not beating those Vlad the Impaler allegations.

“Don't be miserable like Morrissey/ Let me do you underneath the Christmas tree” -Pansy Division Or me to all the mustache daddies at the coffeeshop right now.

On Heated Rivalry this week, come for the tuna melts, stay for the angsty jerking to “All the Things She Said.”

Do you think there is a retirement home for the basic white guys Ryan Murphy hired and then discarded when he found a younger one?

Nothing puts me in the holiday mood like Black Christmas. Even when I have to turn off all the lights downstairs.

I don’t believe in horseshoe theory, but I sure believe in some racist pieces of shit claiming leftist politics to shield their bigotry.

In happy news, The Whole Bloody Affair is amazing. As someone who finds 1 to be a blast and 2 to be a slog, this smooths out the pacing, letting the pop spectacle of the first half be eclipsed by the elegiac western of the second.

Tarantino sure is being sassy for someone who slapped a Fortnite commercial to the end of his magnum opus.

They’re just like me.

My sons.

Decorating the tree.

Hazy shade of winter.

I get your arguments about gay male stories needing to be told by gay men. But also the Heated Rivalry adaptation is created and largely written/directed by a queer man. And also, I don’t want basic ass gay Influencers speaking for me under the auspices of “community”.

Remember today is Krampusnacht. Hope he comes to pay you a visit!

It’s been pointed out to me that hockey is basically a boy aquarium so this is going to happen!

“Yeah sex is good but have you tried-“ no I will still be choosing the sex thank u

My straight friend is trying to weaponize my enjoyment of Heated Rivalry to convince me to go see a hockey game with him. And I think it is working!

Absolutely loved Reflections in a Dead Diamond so I was happy to see The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears playing at Weird Wednesday this week.

Sometimes I think I rank movies too high on Letterboxd. Then I see something I truly hate and remember I am just normally much better at selecting movies I know I will like.

Well, Spotify told me that my listening age is 60 which is patently untrue because I have the musical tastes of a Goth 22 year old living in 1994.

“[In the Mood for Love] is only the swooniest movie of all time.” Red, White, and Royal Blue is like a torture box designed specifically for me.

Very happy to see all the Go love this year. I would have let this man fully ruin my life.
