Having television shows as your special interest really is autistic hell because what do you mean my emotional regulation is dependent on some assholes deciding to keep my show on the air or not -

NOBODY HATES THEIR AUDIENCE AS MUCH AS DICK WOLF

Idc I will be blaming Jen Psaki for this cancellation

Have a second interview next week!

Watching The Lion King for the first time in years and did sob like a baby once again

Only one masking at the doctor. Only one masking at the gym. Only one masking at a rare concert. Will never cease to be an absolute mindfuck.

the source of my distress this week was a nesting BIRD in case anyone was wondering

trying to be a loose leaf tea girlie because tea bags are apparently a microplastics nightmare but listen I'm too autistic for this. the wet remains you have to clean out of the infuser when you're done???

Happy New Dan Levy Show Series Drop on Netflix and new SVU and The Pitt day (Can my shows start spreading themselves out among Monday, Tuesday, and Friday 😭)

Just Olivia and her 22-year-old child (...and Velasco)

unfortunately, I've spent too long writing in present tense that my past tense writing sounds like a third grader wrote it

got compliments on my EO sweatshirt today from both my primary care provider and the hospital receptionist so calling that a win

Really going to laugh if this daily sound in my bathroom that's been triggering my CPTSD does end up being squirrels that have gotten into the exhaust pipe outside the house 😭 Menaces.

*20* family members at my grandma's house for Easter lunch today say a prayer for me 😭

it's absolutely wild being the only child of a single mother who literally could not be less interested in your life and never spends 1:1 time with you even though you now live only 30 minutes away if you have a great relationship with your mom, just know I envy you more than words can say

Yesterday I had a phone interview and the hiring manager was like "Oh during the pandemic - well, I mean, the START of the pandemic because the pandemic isn't over - " And I was like yes queen!!! when do I start

Have a phone interview tomorrow and a funeral Friday for family of family I haven't seen in forever, so in every second of my free time, my brain is like "let's script every possible conversation for these social interactions you hate" anyway, being autistic is exhausting 😭

went to the ear doctor yesterday for a check-in and the medical assistant looks at me and the KN95 I'm wearing and asks me if I'm not feeling well no feeling fine! just trying to reduce my COVID risk along with all the other preventable viruses floating around, but thanks for asking!!!!

I hardly go to concerts anymore, but I would if it was safer. Loved getting to see Aly and AJ last night, but also yes, my girlfriend and I were the *only* ones masked in a room with hundreds of people

The real theme of the modern age is "Nobody Wants This". AI, ICE in airports, ICE in general, the Iran War, data centers sending actual cities wiht people into blackouts -- "nobody" wants this. And yet here we are.

after the (rightful) outrage I received over just recently watching Schitts Creek for the first time, I thought I'd inform everyone I finally started Abbott Elementary

finally told my freelance business coach I'm giving up the freelance life so at least that's off my plate

Can't believe we are doing this for a second night in a row my mental health is hanging on by a thread

Found family really is such a foreign concept to your blood family, like they will really be out here telling you to sacrifice your entire wellbeing to have relationships with narcissists in your family instead

how am I supposed to get my daily David+Patrick fic fix if AO3 is going to continue to be down for several more hours

okay but this is so cute and also giving me s17 Olivia Benson vibes

Chriska heard I was depressed and blessed us thanks besties

honestly thank god it's not just me

have reached a point in my relationship with my therapist where I ask her to read my Substack post about my feelings because it's easier than trying to explain them

me finding out dan levy was supposed to be in Barbie as a Ken but had a scheduling conflict

one of my favorite things about Dan Levy is how he runs with his hands behind him like he's a kid in "Weapons"

MADAM SECRETARY STANS RISE, PLEASE variety.com/2026/tv/news...

my grandma knows I hate AI so she sends me AI videos on Facebook just to troll me god I love her

I'm unemployed and I have a screenwriting degree; I'll actually just do it for free to make up for my lack of showrunning experience please!!! deadline.com/2026/02/nbc-...

just needed to get it all out open.substack.com/pub/hotteawi...

Grandma: Have you ever thought about going back to school? Like for AI or something? Me: Me: Me: Me: Me: Me: First of all, you don't need a degree to learn AI and secondly, I'd rather kill myself

have to give a 2-hour seminar tomorrow, my first presentation in *years*, and low-key already wanna throw up

last night I experienced "gen z thinks they're discovering everything" firsthand when my 19-year-old cousin unironically asked me if I'd ever had a BAGEL SANDWICH girl I was making bagel sandwiches at McDonald's before you were born of course I've had one

Uncle: *explaining differences between Amish + Mennonites* Grandma: But do they have rumplestiltskin? Me: ....rumspringa. Uncle: I don't think Mennonites are waking up in the woods after 20 years. Me:...That's Rip Van Winkle 😭 (Sunday dinners with my family in a nutshell)

what do you MEAN this king was the voice of Franklin the turtle 🥹

I can't hyperfixate on two ships at the same time - the others just lay dormant at all times - so trying to write EO when I'm in a David/Patrick phase is really soo challenging

haven't figured out how to tell my freelance business coach that I'm looking for FT work again so instead I'm just like so sorry can't talk now bye

these two singlehandedly getting me through a fun combination of PMS, career existentialism, and seasonal affective disorder

my dana lewis chapter sitting untouched and judging me for my lack of progress while I read David/Patrick

Leave it to Schitts Creek to interest this lesbian in her first ever m/m ship (Cracking open AO3 as we speak)

Just finished my first Schitts Creek watch and am devastated so I will be restarting it tomorrow (and yes, this is exactly how I ended up watching Madam Secretary 13 times in 2022)

It's so cold and windy here that it moved a bunch of powdery snow onto the sidewalk over night and THEN froze it under -20 real feel conditions so you better believe it was a bitch to shovel 😭

My heart breaks for the editors, reporters, and staff at The Washington Post who try to serve the public with integrity and don't deserve this. And also: many of us saw this coming from a mile away. Jeff Bezos has destroyed this once great American institution.

they don't have enough guys, and if the response in Minnesota shows anything it is that trying something like this is going to drive a much larger backlash than anything they hope to gain out of it "oh well I guess we'll just stay home" is not how this is going to go

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are his net worth is $253.2 billion. so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire and then do it again tomorrow and again the day after that and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months
