From what you've said in the past, just give it 5 months/years and it'll spontaneously click for you on a random Tuesday xD

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

I cannot get over the irony of a man desperately trying to steal more time to live by utterly wasting his actual life

Like. What are we doing here. He could be spending six hours a day doing literally anything he wants in the world, and this is what he does?

Absolutely, it's like a warm hug from a corny but beloved relative

The Your Idol -> What It Sounds Like sequence is a perfect movie climax and I will not hear otherwise

I swear, I had literally never heard this song before *in my life*

And yet somehow it was playing this afternoon at the plasma donation center

“you’re either for trans people, or you’re for the rest of us getting to also have good stuff and candidates that represent us” is the far right’s framing and I don’t think the rest of us should use it

... I'm sure there's a much better use of your time than defending a man who gleefully poses for a photo op where he helps break up a homeless encampment and throw away their few belongings. Not to mention Newsom's betrayal of the trans community.

Sidenote, that man has never been humble in his goddamn homeless-hating shellacked hair LIFE

Coincidentally, I got a fundraising text from his office today 🤬

A screenshot of a text message conversation. The first text is a fundraising effort by Gavin Newsom's campaign. The recipient replied: I refuse to support any politician who makes the disgusting choice to throw trans people under the bus

Welp, not a shock but still a bummer. Thanks for replying though. Enjoy hearing you and Todd talk music; I'm crossing my fingers they maybe someday y'all will get to the glorious surprise that is K-Pop Demon Hunters

Loved the video! I completely agree that the trope can be super fun or heinously offensive; I am absolutely feasting on the wealth of great Rujinu fics on Ao3

Manifesting is nonsense but I'm manifesting Subway #1 and Golden #2 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Right???? They're so, so different, but if Sinners is a punch to the face, KPDH is the ice pack

Eh, I think it varies wildly by the kid? My niblings were all totally different in how they reacted to stuff when they were little; what one couldn't handle at 6 another could handle at 4 🤷‍♀️

If you've got critiques of the kpop industry (which, yeah, fair), I think you'll be veeeery interested in the lyrics to Your Idol.

The name is actually kinda perfect imho? It's exactly what it says on the tin. It's a cheesy, sincere love letter to South Korea with magical girls singing and killing demons. And it rocks.
