I need characters in tv shows to stop popping champagne that spills everywhere because you’re pouring and dancing and wooing but last episode you specifically said people should always take their shoes off at the door so now all I can think about is your Veuve-soaked socks

It’s that time of year, a newish tradition when my sister and I troll each other by sending the most unctuous, sappy Mother’s Day gift ads with captions like “omg should we?” “one each?” “she deserves it and more” and we both hurt each other’s feelings AND heal a bit It’s like emotional backburning

FUUUUCKK

Today! Allison and Christopher discuss nightmares, Olly Alexander, and rec Mickey 17 (especially compared to the Russo Bros,) sort of Paddington in Peru (only because most kids' films suck,) The Parenting and Footrot Flats: The Dog's Tale @allisonkilkenny.bsky.social @chrisopotamia.bsky.social

Oh to be needed by a man as much as CVS needs me to tell them how they did

I’m keeping a tally of how many times I reflexively open TikTok and then go “…oh, right” Eleven and counting

[guy who spent his entire life calling his friends "gay" for having a feeling that wasn't anger] its an epidemic of male loneliness

Can TVs shut the fuck up? The second you stop pressing buttons on the remote some bullshit starts autoplaying. I’ve already got friends with PTSD who fill every moment of quiet with chatter, I don’t need an appliance to do it

I’m going to start saying YUCK YUCK loudly and backing away if anyone tries to show me something they’ve done with ChatGPT or AI

When you have the kind of ADHD that makes you bump into shit a lot, there is nothing more satisfying than learning the source of a mystery scratch or bruise by hitting it again the same way and going “OHHHH THAT’S HOW I DID THAT”

It’s not impossible to be a barback at 44, but I do tend to wake up the next morning with ankles that are strictly ornamental and not to be used

Whenever I put my oodie on, it is at maximum 45 minutes until I have to rip it off again, gasping and sweating, but for about seven minutes of those 45 I am comfy as fuck

If you’re gonna talk shit about my accent or voice, do it directly to my face so I can double down and go full bogan, or wait until you’re out of earshot? Hot tip: one third of the way down a flight of stairs is still within earshot

She’s right, said one third of the podcast “Dirty Little Horror” 😇

The first two seasons of Murder Most Horrid are on Amazon, and seeing the quality of Dawn French’s wigs on a BBC show in 1991 puts nearly every modern TV wig department to shame Someone make Kidman watch a couple of episodes

I guess decades of kids getting their heads bl*wn off in schools all over the country left it open to some ambiguity

For the last two days I've started my day with a sun lamp and Adderall and I've felt...well not exactly productive, and not even necessarily focused, but certainly not so depressed and numb that even crying feels out of reach? Today, for science, I'm trying just the sun lamp, so fingers crossed

I don’t think I’ve ever taken a midnight shower without also using it to cry. Midnight showers don’t happen because things are going well.

lets have a conclaveeeee I wanna have a conclave. lock the doorssss tight 😤 let’s have a conclave 👀 Cardinal Lawrence! 🙏🏻 I’m gonna vote for Bellini

If turkey stuffing can be made independent of the turkey then why the fuck aren’t we eating it four times a week

Obviously Thanksgiving is not baked into my constitution, and honestly I [fart noise] a parade, but you bet your ass I watched the gay trifecta of Death Becomes Her, Ariana Madix and KYLIE

Had a therapy session so good last night my entire psyche unclenched and I was overcome with a peaceful sleepiness. So I went to bed at 10:30pm; four hours earlier than normal. Then I woke up at 1:30am and have been up ever since so IT'S OKAY I'M RECLENCHED AGAIN

Are we still calling a breakdown a “menty b” to mitigate the severity of conversations about mental health without compromising the importance of transparency in said conversations, or are we just going in dry now? Anyway I had a [nomenclature TBD] for two days this week but I think it has passed

My surname is [TBA] because at 25 I legally changed it from my dad’s name to my mother’s maiden name, bc my dad was largely absent growing up, but it turns out my mother’s side of the family are all cunce, so I wanted to change it back, but my dad is now sort of worse, so fuckin now what

I do a pretty good job of convincing myself I don’t snack excessively until my vacuum approaches the couch and it starts making a noise like a rainstick

Gonna make this my new bio

Oh no what if I start earnestly posting my every thought again, and vacillating wildly between callous punchlines and being a bee’s dick shy of “too vulnerable” and also what if I love it if that happens

the other thing we dont discuss at all is that the biggest consumer of manosphere stuff isnt 18 year olds, its 35-40 year old assholes with a nice car and lucrative job who still dont get why nobody likes them

I forgot, when I first joined Bluesky, how many avid dong-posting enthusiasts I immediately followed, and I’m unfamiliar with this sudden blend of friends posting pithy thoughts, and full porn. I’m also not mad at it; seems convenient

I miss my dog so much I can’t even look at photos of her anymore, and that sucks because I took so many before I left in preparation (she’s still alive, she’s just a) in another hemisphere and b) technically no longer mine)

Christopher, stop saying “oh geffahkt!!” in delighted surprised at service staff who give you good news. Not everyone understands the positive connotations to being told to “get fucked”

I vacillate between being in the perfect emotional state to rewatch Ally McBeal and the worst emotional state to rewatch Ally McBeal, sometimes several times in the one scene

gonna jack myself off with the Talk To Me hand and get ahead of the ghosts

There is no character in fiction more stupid than everyone in either Wolf Creek film

Well this is a treat. Thank you Allison. This feels like fresh air!
