still running off the bone-chilling adrenaline of waking up this morning and looking at my (unplugged) phone and seeing that it was in fact 10am. luckily my boss just thought it was funny! skidded into the office with wet hair and no eyebrows drawn on by 10:22. god bless wormcare

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

it's mardi gras! happy mardi gras! i am not at mardi gras this year. i am unfortunately forced to lock in like the little grindset work cog i so long to be. however it is both mardi gras & what would have been my mimi's 100th birthday today so if you're also cogging it today, get yourself a treat

unfortunately have to report that i loved the wuthering heights movie. i know! i get why it's polarizing (we went with a group of pals to see it, the majority loved it, one thought it was pretty good, one hated it) but i think if you vibe with emerald fennell's freak you'll have a great time.

i had a dream i was hosting hudson williams for mardi gras. i woke up sweating. (not like that). i’ve never been so stressed……

i went to see casablanca last night (i’ve never seen it all the way through) and i’ve read articles about that particular scene and the history before, and when it happened on screen i got very emotional! this is maybe a brave hot take but hey casablanca is a good movie

I think about how when they sang La Marseillaise they were still in the midst of a war they did not know they were going to win.

it’s that domino meme but it starts with 9/11 and ends with N and i parent-trapping our parents together on a boat as they sail around cape horn

i for one hope the wrestling audience channels their “you cant tell me what to do you’re not my real dad” energy for good for once and chants fuck ice during every match going forward www.si.com/fannation/wr...

few things can get me outta my warm bed faster than a friend texting to ask if i wanna tag along to run errands so they can avoid their in-laws. we're gonna talk shit AND touch everything in the trader joe's....

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

something so humiliating about having to drive your car while it's absolutely covered in bird shit. oh what's that you parked underneath a tree you dumb fuck?? little baby wants a poopy car????? poopy car for the idiot???????? christ alive

JUSTIFIED “FUCK ICE” CHANTS #AEWDynamite

took a sewing class at the local maker's space, went thrifting and got lunch with my pals, participated in some incredibly rewarding local activism against ICE, spent a long time and every pot in my kitchen on a fussy recipe that turned out amazing. a good, grounding little day.

one must imagine sisyphus opting out of Gemini

Highly recommend this beautiful piece, and adore the term "neighborism."

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

growing up in a very french catholic part of the country meant that i was in french classes from K to senior year of high school but i also sucked at it the entire time. i am terrible at languages. but it's good to be bad at stuff. and the worm needs enrichment that isn't getting blasted by my phone

french grammar workbook please. je suis already malade over here

this is fucking crazy and i can't believe and i'm so proud that having fake sex so good is legitimately changing culture

love finding little love notes from my past self to my future self in my email

today after picking up my car from the mechanic i said 'have a grood day' instead of 'have a good day' or 'have a great day' and i've been thinking about it for hours. we are not meant to bear this

one of the best things i have done for myself recently is accept that on work mornings, i am a worm. my night self has to take care of the worm self. she picks out worm's clothes for the next day and makes the worm iced coffee and packs worm's lunch bag. for worm is an idiot. and needs no friction

went and saw hamnet in the theater yesterday and i genuinely think crying in a theater full of people who are also crying is one of life's great joys and should be done more often

ended up recommending HR to my mom with all the caveats about the explicitness, and she said maybe her and my dad would watch together. to which i said, i simply can't know if dad watches it! and to which she said, ok we'll be sure to facetime while we SCREAM IN HORROR at the GAY SEX. ok touche MOM

this year was a decade. it started with learning we were going to lose a beloved aunt in just weeks, a terrorist attack in my hometown, & waking up the most hungover i've ever been in my life on @ziusik.bsky.social and @traceynick.bsky.social's couch after one of the best new years eves of my life

feeling very @traceynick.bsky.social in that i am immediately over all of my christmas decorations and they must be put away and my place put back to rights POST HASTE

i am straight up having a good time right now

watched all of heated rivalry and i am 😎👌 Unwell 😎👌

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

lots of happy hours, and makers markets, and running errands with friends, and a thirteen hour cookie-making marathon of a day, and a successful group day of making turkey gumbo to stock my freezer for the dregs of january. throwing a holiday housewarming party this friday and i'm having a blast

deeply trying to plant my feet firmly in december even with the various ways my body has been betraying me. it shall not win. i will merry so hard the walls will shake

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true

This has to be one of the worst magazine covers I've seen in the history of humanity.

back home after visiting family and friends for the holiday and feeling like the luckiest blorb in the world

love thanksgiving because u get to see unstoppable force (the turkey trot side of my family) meet an immovable object (the non-turkey trot side of my family) and only side survives

officially hosting a friendsmas/housewarming party and it's going to be totally fine that i actually don't have places for people to sit because i've been googling 'cute ways to sit on the floor!!!!!!!!!!!!' and i think i can make this work for me

dang i can’t believe it but i don’t think i liked frankenstein. which is crazy if only because going in i thought i was about to watch a new favorite movie. and i love gdt (his foreword to the annotated frankenstein made me cry!) but in this case i think his love of monsters worked against him

a “Space Force”, if you will

kor and roddy in their little tshirts and gear unfortunately always giving me these vibes

i've missed a lot of wrestling over the last month with all the move stuff but decided to not catch up and just tune in live for blood and guts and ha ha ha i love this shit so much it rules. i was HOOTIN and HOLLERIN on my couch

"kill them with kindness" wrong. bat attack 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

anyway it's hilarious how optimistic i was before this move about how long it would take to settle in. i was originally going to have a housewarming party the weekend after i moved! can you imagine! god bless all my friends who heard this plan & said 'yeahh!' while i'm sure making eyes at each other

it's freezing here today which apparently means the construction guys outside my bedroom got the morning off and i got to sleep in for a full extra hour and i'm a brand new blorb. the birds are singing. the sun is shining. i'm judiciously avoiding opening most of my apps and looking at the news

kim davis IN THE DIRT

New: The Supreme Court DENIES Kim Davis' request to overturn Obergefell, the marriage equality decision. No noted dissents. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

i knew october was going to be a lot of work and it was so much god damned work but it's done, now. i'm moved, i've mostly reno-ed, i'm out of the old apartment completely, the giant yard sale is done and i made enough money to feel like it was worth it, everything that didn't sell got donated

so far home ownership mostly consists of me trying to do a simple project which then somehow multiplies into a thirty-eight step project with me cursing and fucking it up every step of the way
