Baked some scones for a party tonight, and the smell of them coming out of the oven reminded me I baked a lot 15 years ago.

It wasn’t even close.

Streisand soothes me.

Folks, is Calibri woke????

Having had two cats die five months from one another in 2025, I'm going to pass on "Hamnet."

Legit amazing stuff. And a great, great example of how “I have a dark, somewhat twisted sense of humor that’s not for everybody” does not have to mean “I lash out at powerless people and congratulate myself for my edginess.”

I'm glad holding a baby can help an Indiana Republican realize that this gerrymandering is not good, but he's a fucking idiot to need that specific trigger to convince him.

Days whose circumstances remind you this is all a big show with a mix of sincerity, absurdity, amd artifice bring value, if you remember when the illusion things are otherwise again becomes convincing.

Yikes.

Making sauce and pretending things are fine.

Seeing "Merrily" as a filmed show was fabulous today, since I saw the show when it was in previews and I could see some things and remember some things from the stage picture closeups cut.

My day off was yoga, a haircut, and "Merrily Wr Roll Along." Now making sauce.

My favorite annual awards are ruined.

Are the people so very defensive of any conversation about Erivo's and Grande's dramatic weight losses defending bodily autonomy, or really the notion that bone-thin should be the ideal?

Sabrina Carpenter's post yesterday calling the White House video "evil and disgusting" is in record-setting ratio territory: 1.3 million likes (20x more than WH's), 177,000 reposts, 83 million views

According to Spotify Wrapped, my listening age is 86.

All right. My gallows humor acknowledged this didn't age well!

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've been to: Ani DiFranco Tori Amos Bright Eyes Jason Webley Audra McDonald

If you are having trouble parking and your bumper sticker reads, "Guns don't kill people, abortion clinics do," I will laugh at you.

Wrote out just a few cards on artsy stationery. That is the extent of my end-of-year anything this year.

Bought myself some flowers.

What a cat she was!

Life experiences and relationships are like shows. They don't need to run long to be among your most favorite.

Seta departs tomorrow. FeLV+ kittens don't always make it, and I adopted her with the expectation we'd get here within a short time period. Our time together (shorter than I wanted, but that matters not) was so lovely and we are having the best weekend together.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Find someone who loves you as much as J.D. Salinger loved italics.

And my cat being FeLV+ got real. We had a wellness visit recently that was good. Today we are at the emergency vet.

Why do Xians do this stupid shit? Fuck whomever put me on the list of recipients for this.

i’m not sure how but this is real antipolygraph.org/blog/2025/10...

A friend in Asheville is dealing with something and reached out to acquaintances known through me for a trusted backup for help I'd've provided. That makes me feel good as a connector, and I also ache about being away from my deepest connections, which remain stronger than ever a decade later.

A movie that takes place where you're from.

who is following you dorks that you feel the need to repeatedly post that mtg is not on the side of the angels. it feels like spending a lot of time telling people not to eat hams they find on the ground

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

He’s proven—again—that there are no bounds to how low he’s willing to go. This is absolutely disgusting, and Americans deserve better than this cowardly, chaos-driven clown show. (2/2)

Just so we’re ALL clear: the President of the United States made death threats toward sitting Democratic members of Congress. But they’re always claiming Democrats are the dangerous ones, right? (1/2)

My office is moving, so I did my mandatory three office days Monday through today. We're WFH next week and the first week of December, so I get to work with my cat!

I really enjoyed "Wicked: For Good." Not all the young children in the audience, though.

What a world we live in when People magazine reports the full story on this president and the NYT does not.

A mini IKEA in Syracuse is a win for NYS. I was always partial to the proposal of a Rochester suburb, but developers' proposals weren't good and, as a location, Syracuse better serves the state more broadly.

Twenty-nine years ago tonight, 11/14/96, our revival of CHICAGO opened on Broadway. Happy Birthday CHICAGO💙

Fuck Sinclair!

Earlier this fall I got three pairs of chinos and these really changed my approach to work clothes in a fantastic way.

C suites really love AI.

My little FeLV+ cat has normal bloodwork and I couldn't be more excited.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and it is now clear to me that the President of the United States is a pedophile. But at least I know that the Cracker Barrel logo won't be changed any time soon.

Hey! Here is a really important distinction: satire vs. being shitty, but in a jokey tone

May he be mercilessly defeated before he dies so it is the last thing he sees.

He is dying. It’s clear to see. But he will drag us all down before he goes. He will starve as many children as possible and separate all the families he can. He will fill his already fat pockets with money meant for disabled veterans and the unhoused. He will spread misery until his last breath.

People who talk to other adults like they were their children? Can we fucking ban them?
