This "welp, can't see it from my house" sentiment must be nice. As a trans person partnered with a queer person who has never not been fucked with in micro- or macroaggression at the airport, you NEVER have to hand it to the rise-and-grind "heroes" in the TSA

In my 20's I drove round trip from Rockport, ME to Columbia, SC & back again within one week in my stick-shift used VW Jetta. No sleep breaks on either leg of the trip: 1000+ miles non-stop each way (except for gas, food, bio breaks)

This Alt Text-less post really made me angry b/c journos are notoriously shitty about Alt Text, but when a journo fails to use Alt Text while sharing vital information that could potentially be life-or-death it seems callous for the sake of a fucking breaking news "firsties" drive-by post 😡

Reposting the image with alt text. So EVERYONE can see which of the thirteen airports will have ICE agents on site

ALCS in this context stands for the UK-based "Authors' Licensing & Collecting Society." I reckon some in Baseball Bsky (US) were wondering why everyone was talking up the American League Championship Series today, in March, when the Major League Baseball playoffs take place in October ⚾

My Bosstones? Mighty mighty.

More practical advice: don't talk yourself out of doing something you *want* to do - writing, taking a walk, meditating, standing up to stretch - but which you procrastinate your way out of b/c you don't think 5-10-15 minutes is *enough* time. Even doing 5 min of something that feels good is enough

"I didn't hate my 20's" I say to myself, though I worked 60-70 hour toxic work weeks in the film industry w/few close friends & zero meaningful relationships, scant hobbies, & no bandwidth for creative outlets. Also: my egg hadn't cracked & wasn't even OUT in my 20's. Being 30+ & onward ROCKS.

OCP reprograms Robocop by flooding him with a jillion dumb, contradictory, toothless directives which has him spouting compliments & toxic positivity, drawing his gun on someone smoking a cigarette, & reading a dead guy his Miranda rights. ROBOCOP 2 invented ChatGPT 30 yrs before it was invented

Continuing my Tom Noonan film series with Robocop 2

Stunned by all the “ICE isn’t gonna do anything more than what TSA already does” rhetoric. Untrained white supremacists who’ve been told by bosses they’re not subject to laws will have POC and women lined up in front of them to grope and abuse and they don’t even have to chase them.

Will say it till my head falls off: There is no safe level of exposure to content on X. No one is immune from its effects. One day you're a paragon of progressive thought leadership, the next you're telling readers, "Tucker Carlson is one of the most talented figures in all political media."

Learned male helplessness gets so many dudes through life there's no reason for them to stop being dumb, as long as their's a lifetime safety net of others providing concierge service

Another reason: women pick up the slack and do all the (mostly invisible) labor + admin to compensate for dudes who don't know anything & don't want to learn how to do anything. Which makes competent women attractive to guys cosplaying dumb or who are dumb, & incentivizes them to remain this way

Thanks to the current gov't choking out US airports by holding TSA hostage, you have to live near where you want to go now

People who watch live events while real-time posting on Facebook - a format which doesn't adhere to a chronological timeline - is a choice

She's literally right there Please stop supporting nazi tattoos man

Adding 3 highly-anticipated shows to our viewing rotation this week has been a godsend: -Last One Laughing UK S2 -Deadloch S2 -Jury Duty:Corporate Retreat

Weekend plans🎭

This is something that I've been turning over in my head, which seems probably pretty obvious to most others, but whatever. The idea of "having a personal brand" and "being a public figure" is not only deeply corrosive but hard to unlearn once it's inflicted upon you, *because* of how it's done

Just want to spread the word that this app is now deleting in-person SW accounts, pointing to changes in their TOS. You may want to delete work related posts 💔

Some people who lament Twitter & miss when Twitter was "good" could just be nostalgic for their entire pre-recession 20's in general

Just feels like every material representation of masculinity for 12 year old boys, all crammed into a tiny digital space that will fit your screen. So farcical that I don't know how anyone working on or watching this production doesn't feel like their intelligence is being insulted.

We completed Taskmaster: The Escape Room game! Based on how fast we were & how many hints we needed, we scored 4 sweet points and rescued Patatas the cat!

Our time starts now

Sometimes when people say "this place is dead, man" I'm not sure if one has maximized their page and feeds to see more voices. (I don't mean the lack of specific populations or communities here, I mean "content" in general.)

My #LastFourWatched films Mirror, Mirror (1996) Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains (1982) Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025) The Singers (2025) #filmsky #letterboxd #LetterboxdFriday

When self-satisfied microcelebs cut & paste their Twitter habits into bsky then bitch that bsky sucks, it's ALWAYS a skills issue

How the NYT does obits for people who are still alive

Flashback Friday to a Wednesday night nightcap. I had a terrific Old Fashioned at the Ace Hotel Lobby Bar.

Reminder that my next @daretokaraoke.bsky.social show is on Friday, March 27 in the East Village/NYC! It's the karaoke version of Dave & Busters - with a splash of Double Dare!

So, like Ice Cube in that hacky Amazon WAR OF THE WORLDS remake

"Cha-Cha Slide" is my universal answer for any and all "worst song" arguments and memes, in perpetuity

Plotting a speed course to Somethin' Else in Bklyn to be a guest panelist on Motion Picture Pop Quiz!

I have finally made peace with Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein once I framed it as "ah this is how he would have made The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"

Tonight! Celebrate your post-St. Patrick's Day and negotiate a soft landing by shitposting MST3K-style for points + prizes with me in Brooklyn!

Walkable City is now LIVE on Kickstarter!
