was confused why I was suddenly getting texts from family members today. its the anniversary of mom's death. it was only three years ago and I forgot. day ruined now.

I think my quality of life would improve just a little bit if I was allowed to answer emails with "hey. what the fuck are you talking about."

all I've wanted to do all week is eat bread

I wrote about being an animal johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/in-captivity

got fucked in mahjong tonight so i made this to cope

finished a book this morning that I had seen others refer to as having a "shocking" ending as some kind of "twist" or "subversion" but it actually was 1000% consistent with everything about the main character if your eyes are ever-so-slightly open about how misogyny manifests

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

it has been so hard for me to get up in the morning and be awake for the past two weeks and tried to remember the last time it was this hard and it was before I started taking antidepressants . . . . uh oh Jon! the Lexapro literally is not hitting like it used to

FINALLY saw "No Other Choice" which is a great movie for people who like "a whole lot of movie." Had some nice sick stuff in it but I especially loved that final (spiritually) sick punchline. "I've always considered myself blue-collar." We sure fucking tell ourselves things to live!!

Benoit Blanc's look in Wake Up Dead Man was so incredibly gender I'm obsessed with it

yesterday I visited a friend who has a six-year-old daughter, who I've of course interacted with throughout the years, and the daughter said to me umprompted, "I love you, because you're nice" and dang. kids. ;_;

writing an essay about "Wake Up Dead Man", to no one's surprise, because Mr. Johnson simply went "Catholic churches look better on film than evangelical rec room basements" and I gotta overthink everything

looks like my appointment for today ghosted so >:3 Glass Onion time!!

rewatching Knives Out in my quiet last in-office day of the year and I forgot how delightful it is: 1. New England vibes truly impeccable in this film 2. actors YEARN for characters with Quirks!!! they need enrichment!!!

I am still undecided about what I will do on December the 25th this year (and I do have more than one invitation on standby), but no matter what I bought myself a shrimp ring today, that's real holiday spirit

My response to anything over the next two weeks

Get yourself friends who know you as well as Mary knows me

Real.thing I just said, not a trace of jest: "I don't know how I have surrounded myself with such loving and optimistic people when I am irl Tabitha Scarlet (miserable bastard)"

Did a deep clean of multiple parts of my home today, and just finished making a big, fancy veggie omelet, and its beyond me why I can't get this much stuff done on most other days off. HOW DO I HARNESS MORE OFTEN????

Wizard of Oz deserves its status as a classic piece of cinema but it's also so wild that every story from its production is like, "The producers decided to use face paint that was laced with benzos and ground up copper which kept the actor from being able to breathe during filming"

I’m at the prayer chapel. I’m at the Dunkin Donuts. I’m at the combination prayer chapel and Dunkin Donuts. #aarsbl25

The only thing I will say about Wicked 2 is that I am fondly recalling my closeted 14yo theater kid self who hated Fiyero’s very existence with an all-consuming passion

Yesterday I finally put out some proper bird feeders so now perhaps that will slow down the insatiable little gluttons I adore

I may dislike Lea Michele as a person but the woman's got pipes, so I just want it well known before the revival cast recording comes out that I've been on the "Nobody's Side is a peak 10/10 showtune" platform for YEARS before this

Angel's Egg only showing in theaters Wednesday and Thursday . . . are you kidding me

heathers ⚢

thing: [occurs] me: this is in some ways about catholicism, which I don't condone, of course,

we better not end up in an Uzumaki anime situation for the Witch Hat anime or I'm gonna do it for real

Witch Hat anime real . . . . I've been a doubting Thomas all this time but its real

why are we as a people sleeping on the nuclear toxic yuri power of Velma/Roxy from Chicago though

I have the most wonderful story for you all today: baby alligator spotted in Charles River, then immediately rescued by local reptile enthusiast

this admin's repeated downplaying of pain relief medication makes me think something really bad is about to happen 🤠

there's an image I want to use so badly for my header here and every time I try to get the image to fit it refuses no matter how I scale it, and each time I'm met with failure I see Francis Crozier's face remain and yeah buddy, that sure is my feeling

first the Emiru incident, now Ariana, men and their shameless belief that women's bodies belong to them and how they are just allowed to walk away, we have to start making men fucking afraid and I'm not goddamn joking

My birdseed welcomed my first downy woodpecker today : )

I love getting the world's rudest one-sentence emails from people with no intro line, no signature, and "sent from my iPhone" at the bottom

the children year for the mines. let them do what they already know will make them happy, and save the town from financial ruin

Watched Ginger Snaps 2 tonight. I support autistic wrongs <3

Not Avaryl from Movie Bitches passing away so young after a long fight with breast cancer. I found them through their drag race reviews but their film reviews, especially the retro ones, guided me towards a new appreciation of camp and film I have this day and her friendship with Andrew was

I DEAD-TO-RIGHTS FORGOT I BOUGHT HER

Mary showed me Ginger Snaps tonight, with it being my first viewing and for her it being the movie she watched the most in high school, and I joked "hee hee that's you!" when Bridgette first appeared on screen, later confirmed to be a direct snipershot on my dear friend
