Currently wishing real hard that the US had a better commuter train system.
Medical bags were the one exception.
Francesca by Hozier sure is Devil’s Minion energy, huh
I was just complaining about this yesterday. They aren’t actually safety measures, they’re laziness measures.
I don’t even mind getting my bag searched if it means I can bring it! Like I’m at a concert right now where *any* bag bigger than 5x8x1 is completely prohibited.
No, at venues and whatnot.
My “boomer opinion” is that bag policies have gotten ridiculous.
if you want to understand tailoring, you only need to watch mid-century movies, when actors were dressed by tailors, not brands. in the 1944 film cover girl, gene kelly's suit drapes beautifully, moving with him, not against him. collar stays on his neck, even as he dances.
The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
My bed keeps shifting as if, say, a wee orange monster baby were stepping on it, and I stg I keep hearing paw steps (like footsteps but from paws)
Starting to think my bedroom is haunted.
Two boys in a window what crimes will they commit
Fucking MOOD. I had a physically/mentally/emotionally exhausting week, I have chronic fatigue, and I was wondering why I slept so long 😅
One policy solution to Young Men we should be considering is Universal Basic Electric Guitar (UBEG). I'm not joking, by the way. Kids of any gender should get a low-cost starter kit for some hobby of their choosing once they turn 13. A camera, paints, a cheap sampler, etc.
I just walked into our bedroom and automatically looked for Hawk and I’m not okay
I will say that the news about Flower definitely helped perk me up today

Coco’s the spookiest boy in the house, nothing will get past him.
Don’t go check out weird noises in the house in the middle of the night. …it’s probably the cats anyway.
We just had to say goodbye to Hawkeye, my soul cat, my very most bestest baby. Give your own kitties extra smoochies from me tonight 💔💔
After the tragic shock of September 11, 2001, we faced two choices: We could turn to solidarity and mutual aid to heal, in our collective grief. Or we could turn inward and accept division, in our collective fear. One choice defined the legacy of our response. 1/
the people who mocked and made up shit about the attack on paul pelosi have thoughts about decorum and we should definitely take them very very seriously
I don't care what the actual calendar says, the seasons go like this. Spring: March, April, May Summer: June, July, August Fall: September, October, November Winter: December, January, February
ROSH HASHANAH IS COMING
It’s currently September, which means it’s almost October, which means it’s almost hockey season.
when will my wife return from the war (county fair, from which she is bringing me a funnel cake)
That’s quite close to me…maybe I’ll check them out someday!
Okay but seriously Google is actually surprisingly helpful for it, somehow.
Is CLE Cleveland?
Be a percussionist, they said. It’ll be fun, they said.
Me fucking too 😂
That being said, I *am* finally learning all the musescore shortcuts
I’m trying to plug this tambourine part for The Rain In Spain into musescore (I’m condensing the percussion book into just the parts I play) and it’s a fucking nightmare.
So exciting that I was one of three (3) women that they included in this roundup of books to prepare you for this season. An amazing diversity of white Ashkenazim, here. Really-- honored to be included, but my FRIENDS. (I've got another High Holy Day book list in the skeet below this.)
It wasn’t even about the specific fic!!!!
I did a fic rec post on tiktok, and someone commented this (jaytim is a pair of adoptive brothers) and like it wasn’t even about the specific fic I recced just that the author likes something ~problematic~ like jeez let people LIVE Anyway my friends talked me down from replying “yeah, and?”
what the fuck is up with The Youths and their moral purity culture
I just learned that at least one person has used Assad Zaman as an Essek Thelyss fancast and I might vibrate out of my skin about this
I’m sorry, this might be the funniest CW list I’ve seen in a hot minute
I want to go to bed but Hawk is using my arm as a chin rest so I’m not allowed to move
rec me your favorite book/book series go
On this day in 1955, two white men abducted and murdered 14-year-old Emmett Till in Mississippi.
“Oh fuck off…fuck you!” and other things we love to hear while installing an air conditioner.
1920 - The 19th Amendment was ratified, giving women the right to vote. White women could vote. Native women were given the right to vote in 1924, when they became citizens of their own country. Black women, who had been citizens since birth, were not given the right to vote until 1965.
Should I watch Hannibal again
My orange boy used to do this no matter who was the culprit. It was so helpful. My wife and I would be “oh Eenie’s trying to bury something again, better go check it out,” and he was always right.
Alas, no, they just knock me out, don’t make me loopy.
Like, I’ve had insomnia literally as long as I can remember. I’ve never been able to fall asleep or stay asleep. These meds actually let me fall asleep quickly , and I stay asleep more. Literally a life changer.
I love my sleep meds so much.
Paste Magazine: Jacob Anderson is becoming a staple in genre TV—breaking barriers in a space long resistant to Black actors. His presence is reshaping fantasy worlds, making room for Black characters, actors, and the fans who’ve waited decades to see themselves on screen. #InterviewWithTheVampire
The aspiring dictator is amassing troops from loyalist regions in the capital. “What would you say if you saw it happening in another country?” @brendannyhan.bsky.social
Being against vaccines when diseases are rampant (measles, Covid) is like adding chlorine to the gene pool. Darwin is watching.
yeah i'm an influencer (i wear skirts every day to work so one of my coworkers says she thinks of me whenever *she* wears a skirt to work)

Life comes at you fast
I got this tattoo today because Hawkeye (my “soul cat”) likes to sit on that area when I’m lying in bed, and it’s so cute that I want to cry every time I see it. It’s so cute my teeth tingle.
I love sorting things and like that sort of thing, but the actual cleaning stresses me out. I’m excellent at “here is thing, here is place, put together nicely,” but “here is thing, figure out place” stresses me the FUCK out.
I'm watching a YouTube video about how people don't have hobbies as much anymore, and so I want to know: what are your hobbies? I have SO many, but my biggest ones are reading, writing, knitting, and playing music.
Thrilled to report that I am still laughably bad at mini golf
3. I am full of bad habits, because I am also full of adhd. I’d say probably my struggles with putting things in the correct place as soon as I’m done with it (e.g. putting dirty clothes right into the laundry).
2. My last call was a FaceTime from my brother, who was showing me his new apartment.
1. My last text was from @beckye8.bsky.social
Sure sure sure let’s go
the quintessential ADHD experience
Update: number of shots fired at & number of broken office windows at CDC federal facility. We are grateful none of our colleagues in those buildings were physically harmed. The entire CDC community has been traumatized by this domestic act of terrorism. Note, full report forthcoming.
I recently read Carmilla and really enjoyed it, but other than that… Probably helped that Carmilla is a vampire novel!
If he wasn’t already in power, I’d call this a coup. I don’t know what the word would be for the same actions by a sitting President.
While sure, there is value in the classics, etc., I’m not in the mood to struggle through those when I want to read historical nonfiction, fantasy, sci-fi, and horror, and I’ll devour those!
For me it helps a lot that I have good friends who also like “genre fiction” and who support “any reading is good reading.” I’m also getting over the moral shame of DNFing things; I’m not going to make myself finish something I’m not enjoying.
I did lotr with my dad (to be fair, it was my choice), and now he’s reading Murderbot at my recommendation ☺️
This is how I’m feeling about trying to read Pride and Prejudice! When really what it comes down to is that it’s just not a genre I prefer, not a moral failing on my part.
I loved both those series so much as kids! I’m actually considering starting rereads for both of them!
Anyway I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about this topic thank you for reading.
This is all to say that yeah, there’s nothing wrong with older books, but there’s a reason that, for a kid, it might be nice to recommend recent books. And this isn’t even taking into account things like greater diversity and representation in more modern works.
I was lucky to have a friend who was into some of the same fantasy as I was (Inkheart, Eragon), because otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to engage with any peers about media until the Hunger Games craze started.
I didn’t know any of the media that my peers were into. I couldn’t engage in discussions with them.
Or I wasn’t allowed to read the popular books bc they weren’t “appropriate.” I particularly remember not being allowed to read Twilight at the height of that mania. I wasn’t even allowed to read Harry Potter until after all my classmates. And this was incredibly isolating!
There are a lot of people in the comments being like “books don’t expire” or similar ideas, and I’d like to add my take (🧵) I wasn’t allowed to watch TV a whole lot growing up, and we didn’t have video games. All I had was books. And I loved a lot of older and/or less popular books.
We just passed road work and there was a woman in a pink high-vis vest and pink hard hat and we love that for her.
I heard noises and almost yelled at my cats to stop before I realized it was my neighbors’ kid.
Me, actively knitting a blanket: I don’t know if I’d have any useful skills in a zombie apocalypse… 🤦♀️
A $200 million ballroom, and now this. He doesn’t ever plan on leaving.
I want to like this movie so badly but I can’t 😭😭
80 years ago, the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. We remember the thousands who were killed in a crime against humanity, as well as the survivors who carried the pain of the past. Today, let us honour them by vowing to rid our world of nuclear weapons once and for all.
Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you” Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”
AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.
The boy, he thinks he is a casserole.
I spent the weekend at Pennsic and I don’t want to go back to 21st century life 😭
FM: Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life? Clark, figuring out being Superman, etc.: *sobs*
It looks like the scarecrow has been shittily photoshopped into the second one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i will always side with sex workers and smut creators and you should too. kill the puritanical pearl-clutching brainworm raising a stink about respectability and optics. it is a backdoor fascists will use to sneak their way into your sympathies. porn is good, sex is normal, kink is human. grow up.
I'm this close to DNFing a book just because the author clearly has no understanding of Victorian clothing 😂😂
Someone once described a photo of my cat as a kitten as a “Victorian orphan fresh off the orphan mangler,” so I’m glad to know the industry is still around.
"To eternal shame. Jews, who went through a genocide 80 years ago, are now committing genocide in Gaza. Shame, rage, and grief." Words by a famed anti-Israel commentator?! Nah, words from the former Israeli Attorney General 😡
“How tf is this guy gonna be Lestat?” Perfectly. That’s how. 😂
If the #tvl trailer gets posted anywhere for real, not the video someone took, would someone lmk? Bc of my auditory processing issues, I can’t watch the video currently out there 😭😭
