Dejected today. I don’t think I can take more bad news. The depravity of the administration, the constant degradation of being a woman in this country, the humiliation of being sick in this country, and the shear impotence of our position - how little we can do. It’s just staggering. I’m so tired.

The thing about Catherine O’Hara is she is so hilarious and talented that I forgot she was mortal

I’ve been looking forward to this World Cup for a decade. The husband and I had some cash squirreled away for tickets even. But she’s right. There’s no enjoying it now. It should be boycotted, or better yet canceled. We don’t deserve it.

Don't be a fan of politicians. Don't. Do. Not. Be ready to turn on them if they even think of stepping out of line. You know how corporations aren't our friend? Well, voters aren't THEIR friends. We are angry, feral, and tired. Oh you "wrote" a book that's cute where's my fucking health care

Starting The Pitt late for the best possible reason, I have a sweet tooth and no sweets. So the husband has kindly gone out to get some so I don’t end up making cookies at 10:00pm… again.

2022: Massachusetts enacts a 4% tax on millionaires. Critics predict catastrophe. 2026: MA sees 39%⬆️ in number of millionaires, $5B⬆️ in new revenue, & MA is bottom 10 in poverty. Taxing the wealthy creates more wealth. Taxing working people creates more poverty: www.qasimrashid.com/p/fixing-the...

Every queer activist who warned this was coming and got told to calm down should get to chop one condescending policy wonk dead in the throat

What a shame we didn't get five more seasons of ROME, man.

I am full of birria de res and tequila and I would like to fistfight an officer of the law

Working out a lot is hard and weird. I’ve mostly just… not, but I’ve flirted with yoga and running in the past. Now I’m getting hardcore and discovering new things about my body. Like my ridiculous hip flexibility that was a big plus in sex/yoga activity is actually bad as a runner and can hurt me?

I got to try these, but left most to him. I gotta work out again tomorrow!

Today was leg day, and the first leg day where I ran, did 30 minutes of lower body strength, and my glutes yoga. I am fucking beat, so it’s enchilada time!!

finally a good dating app

So are we gonna talk about Ser Arlen’s enormous hog? Cause… 😳

My sauce making thought process always goes something like: Ooo! These things will make a great sauce together! Let’s try! Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck what have I done what is this liquid!? Why have I made the choices that led me to this moment!? Oh hey! Wow! Sauce! Guys come check out this sauce!

Let's talk killer to killer. On Feb. 9th, I'm introducing ALL ABOUT EVE, the greatest movie ever made, at @paristheaternyc.bsky.social. Come hear me spill the tea on why this is a stone cold masterpiece. I promise I won't be what the French call "de trop." www.paristheaternyc.com/event/all-ab...

everyone in trumps administration is evil but primarily stupid, and stupid to a degree that’s genuinely impressive

Here we go again. At this rate I doubt they’ll fuck around in red states, even in the blue urban enclaves, but if they do come here I am ready. I’m a middle aged cancer survivor house wife with no record. I’ll take a bullet for my neighbors. If they kill me, politicize the hell out of it.

Early on I was planning to learn to make feeds so that I could make a feed of just film and tv criticism from actual critics. I got as far as following every critic I could find and then stalled out. Is that something people would enjoy if I made it?

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

I have a diverse enough group of friends here, many of whom are fairly new and may not know. I am a Game of Thrones obsessive. I’ve read the books 5 times and spent many years nerding out over Westeros HARD. I’m no longer obsessed, but every time a new spin off comes out I dip back in.

What a guy! I loved him as Baelor last night and I can’t wait to see more of my all time favorite Targaryen on screen!

Halle Berry welcome to the resistance

20 minutes until Dunk and Egg and I need it. Everything is so unrelentingly infuriating and/or fucking sad. Half an hour in Westeros will help.

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

It just really lays bare how lonely and self-centered fascism is that they see a community rallying not just for common defense but to meet one another's needs, with those who can provide stepping up for those who can't, and they go "what the fuck, this has to be illegal"

This is from the NYT masthead editorial about the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The highlighted line invalidates not just the editorial, but the very idea of newspaper editorials crafted by the consensus of a board. Better to publish nothing at all than to publish a line like this.

I did such a good job staying off my phone yesterday, avoiding psychic damage, being hella productive. But now I am very sore and the phone calls to me. This is not ideal.

The finished product isn’t as beautiful as it is delicious. But it is absurdly delicious. Might be the best chili I’ve made. Or might be my tongue getting numb cause this bitch is HOT.

Have I told y’all much I fucking love cooking on this stove? Cause I love this fucking stove like it is my child. Five burners! Five!!

Bonus of spending all day making chili: We still don’t have a tv set up down here (it was supposed to be here today, but delayed due to weather), so I have no choice but to actually go through all the stuff we stacked up during the move and never dealt with while I was in treatment. Thank you chili!

i do genuinely think we need to jail every single person currently working for ICE

It’s less than 50 degrees in Texas today. Y’all know what that means, CHILI DAY!

What books/essays do you consider vital to understanding our current political climate, and US politics in general? I’m making a reading list for someone but mine is all Marx, Gramsci, hooks, Crenshaw, Marcuse, etc. I’m basing it on grad school syllabi, but that might be a bit advanced for this guy

me when anyone I don't know shows up in my mentions

The Pitt is done? At 8:46 the episode is over? Jail for HBO. Jail for One Thousand years.

Just thought “I want another beer, but if I have more than two beers tonight it’s going to fuck up my workout tomorrow…” Who am I and what have I done with myself!?

Sometimes I really love my state. Sometimes.

Bless HEB. Husband got off work early so we could gather supplies for the freeze this weekend before it got too crazy and y’all. It was a fucking madhouse and they were handling it like champs. Truly our fourth branch of government down here.

There should be a rule that you do not get to post about politics until you: a) have read a fucking book or better yet 100 Yeah I read theory and so should you b) have something to say other than repeating platitudes you saw other people post c) have a modicum of life experience If not, go read!!

Hung a guy at Nuremburg for doing this, FYI. Not "a thing like this" but literally this, exactly.

Wake me immediately! I need to know right as the posts start coming in

Chuckling at the people in the U.S. who consistently shit on people who live in "red" states... Well according to others in the world, the entire US is now a "red" state. Not so easy to overthrow authoritarians, is it?

This. When I was a kid, I was embarrassed when I didn’t understand references and sought to learn everything I could in as many areas as possible so I would no longer feel dumb. Now I can barely have a conversation with the average person cause they know nothing about the world in which they live.

"If you watch an episode of Cheers, you might hear references to foreign filmmakers, to classical musicians, to Russian novelists. The level of assumed knowledge back then was far greater; now, TV is rarely adventurous in its allusions."
