I love that none of us have probably thought about Paul Dano for years but the minute Tarantino opened his dumb mouth the whole world arose like vampires from a coffin to collectively say, hey fuck you

A heads-up state and federal agencies are actively monitoring online activity tied to criticism and protest of the immigration crackdown in New Orleans. That includes social media comments, posts, group chats, and other digital spaces.

(Probably) irrational joy over these little fruity guys coming in the mail.
A collection of three hair clips, all shaped like fruit, lay on Halley’s kitchen counter. The largest, shaped like two lemons with leaves and blossoms, is a claw clip, the smallest, shaped like a cut open pomegranate is a mini claw clip, and the midsized one, shaped like blueberries, is a snap clip. The label for the brand that makes the clips, Jenny Lemons, sits next to the items. Behind them all is the box they came in, decorated with a strip of tape that has illustrated fruit on it.

What do you think would happen if I texted this number? 🤔
Halley’s hand is holding a paper insert from a Metric cd she purchased over 15 years ago. The insert, clearly very dated, explains you can purchase Metric ringtones for $2.99 each. Behind her is the cd book she’s been organizing for the last few days, with all four slots holding Metric cd’s.

Yooooo these were great. This cookbook is steadily getting to be one of my favorites. ConcernedApe is the best developer, I swear everything he touches is a gift 🙏
A closeup of the pepper poppers Halley just made from The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook. The jalapeños used are green, and they were baked instead of fried. There are gluten free panko breadcrumbs on top.

Typically I won’t purchase singles on vinyl, but as Oh My God won’t be on the LP and because I love Jupiter Winter a stupid amount and want to support them, AND because it’s my anxiety anthem I still have 0 regrets.
#nowspinning #jupiterwinter #vinyl
A 45 of Jupiter Winter’s two singles, “Oh My God” and “We Are Not Machines” spins on her turntable, with the sleeve sitting nearby. The 45 is clear with pink and purple splatter, and the cover features a closeup of singer Lelia Broussard with her hands on her face. Her eyes are closed, and the background matches the pink and purple splatter on the vinyl.

My husband got the shingles, our normal folks to do the cooking couldn’t come, and my mom has 0 kitchen confidence, so I headed up the thanksgiving meal. It wasn’t traditional (because it doesn’t have to be). I’m proud of my mom for helping me out with this and rlly trying! I think we did okay 🤍
Halley’s mom’s stovetop, featuring sautéed green beans, an aluminum wrapped baguette, crab cakes, and dill lemon butter prep. What Halley made for dessert; Gordon Ramsay’s crustless lemon raspberry cheesecake. Also on the plate are raspberries and (Halley’s favorite) pineberries.

This hair dye brings me a stupid amount of joy; it fades so delightfully, hardly bleeds when it’s fresh, and holds better than any dye I’ve ever used. I meant to try different colors when I started again, but never moved past it. I will be devastated if Good Dye Young ever stops making Kowabunga.
A selfie of Halley, a woman with glasses and brown hair with green streaks. Her green dye has faded out some and is a softer, mossier color.

(1/2) Having a kid is such an interesting experience. We overlap in interests a lot- he’s 9 + a Zelda and Animal Crossing fanatic, and enjoy picking up new hobbies. he loves comics. I’ve been trying to give him lots of musical exposure, but one thing I haven’t rlly done in that is radio play-

Travelin today.
A mirror selfie of Halley, a woman with glasses and brown hair with green streaks. She is wearing jeans and a T-shirt from The Midnight’s 2021 tour. The mirror is a little dusty.

Over the last week I’ve rediscovered a ton of music I’d totally forgotten about. For a minute there (from around 2012-2019) I was stagnating on my stuff and not listening to anything new and I guess maybe got burnt out a bit. It’s fun coming back though, some of this stuff is so freaking good.

Starting to see a few Spotify Wrapped’s showing up here and there. I’m an Apple user, so I’ll be a bit (but am loving to see it). Please share your yearly recap as it comes! I genuinely enjoy this part of the year and know lots of other people do too!

Work Christmas tree topper 👌
The top of Halley’s Christmas tree at work. It features a cut out meme of Pearl from the horror movie Pearl, crying and saying “please! I’m a star” instead of an actual star.

Dopamine dressing for work today since we’re understaffed and had additional callouts (making me the only children’s staff in the building). LETS DO THIS

A selfie of Halley, a woman with glasses, a nose ring, and green and brown hair. She is wearing neon blue earrings shaped like gummy bears. A view of the back of Halley’s head from the mirror. She has a small Jenny Lemons hair clip shaped like an orange in her hair. A view of Halley’s tights, which feature honeybees. She is also wearing worn down Dr. Martin Chelsea boots. The view of Halley’s hand, which is wearing a delightfully mismatched beaded bracelet with beads that spell her name. Other beads are heart shaped, fake pearls, clay and plastic happy faces, and a plastic dice.

My copy of Ego Death came last week, and I’ve been spinning it nonstop. This is easily one of my top albums this year, massively replayable; just so, so good.

#nowspinning #vinyl #hayleywilliams #egodeathatabacheloretteparty
A vinyl copy of Hayley Williams new album, Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, spins on Halley’s turntable. It is in the transparent highlighter yellow variant, and the album sleeve, which features a black and white photo of Hayley Williams leaning into her hand, is propped up behind it.

More stuff I’m trying to make rn
A strange grouping of baby blue circles that Halley has awkwardly crocheted together with yarn. A clumsily crocheted strawberry that admittedly has more tomato colors.

Arts n crafts at work 👌
A small paper cut out of a doll’s face, Cynthia from Rugrats. Cynthia has ragged, pulled out hair and stares with a blank expression. The cut out is being held by Halley and has tape stuck on the top and bottom, so as to tape it on something. A broom at Halley’s work that strongly resembles Cynthia, the doll from Rugrats’s, hair. It has seen better days and the fibers are flying out every which way. Halley’s hand gestures to the broom handle, which now has the cut out taped to it. It also has a label printed below it that says “CYNTHIAAAAAAA” as Angelica from Rugrats does. A close up of the broom handle.
