I’ve been in my neighborhood Buy Nothing group for a few months now. The ache in my soul from having to be on Facebook is nearly made up for by antics like these #BuyNothing #LOLrus #Bucket

First DNF of my life: The Women.
It was tenuous for the first half of the book, but once Hannah earnestly trots out the “spit-upon veteran” myth, she lost credibility. I just can’t trudge through another book just to be able to say “I finish all books I start.” #Booksky

The Guncle Abroad is so good! @stevenrowley.bsky.social wrote a sequel that I enjoyed even more than the first, full of delicious turns of phrase and heartfelt moments.

Finally went to Disneyland for the first time (my friend dragged me with him). All in all, surprisingly fun! In spite of my cynicism, I was awestruck by Star Wars Land.

My offering to the #Oscars potluck: Mexican Cookies inspired by #EmiliaPérez.
It’s a Madeline baked in a mini-cupcake tin with a Spanish-style lemon cinnamon topping. Its flavor profile is vapid to the point that you want to stop eating it after one bite.

My book club read Ina Garten’s memoir and we’re doing a potluck of her recipes. I’m tackling the Boston Cream Pie. I did a practice bake for a holiday party and it was devoured (this cake is PHENOMENAL). Learned a couple lessons & I’m ready for primetime Tuesday. barefootcontessa.com/recipes/bost...

Halfway through Sky Full of Elephants and … WHAT THE F*<%!!! I’m simultaneously captivated and disturbed, this is quite the book. I hope Jordan Peele has the movie rights. #booksky #SkyFullOfElephants

Just finished James by Percival Everett. I loved every minute of it. After reading so many novels that meander through the first 3/4 only to sprint through the final 1/4, I appreciated how consistent the pace of this was. Deserving of all the praise it’s received! #booksky #james

Wicked: 8.5/10. Fantastic adaptation.
It didn't feel fully buttoned up, ex: Ariana is frequently under-lit (still, she shines). Michelle Yeoh is miscast, 'I'm Not That Girl' is disjointed. The dances felt over-edited. Can Bowen Yang get a nod for Supporting? #Wicked #ArianaGrande #BowenYang

Callling it now. Most listened to song on Spotify this year is I Know A Place by Muna. Top artist is Jon Hopkins. Check in in a month to see how correct my predictions are.

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

And the audiobook is narrated by the incomparable Lynne Thigpen, who played my first gay diva - The Chief on Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego!!!
The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

My hands were messy with icing so I couldn’t pause when I realized I didn’t look up how to draw ghosts on my pumpkin cookies. Went with:

-Pac-Man antagonists
-F*ck it, they’re delicious, just eat them

Has the term “Eurotrash” been reclaimed? Is it still offensive to call someone that? Because these two guys are owning it, looking really hot doing it, and I want to compliment them on the aesthetic and offer to be Luxembourg.
