Today was a day where I got to help a new ELAR teacher with some lesson/text analysis advice and it was a good moment for me as well, because I often don’t give myself enough credit for the expertise I’ve developed. I AM good at my job, and I CAN help others!

I met Cartel tonight, got to tell them about the half of a drumstick I have from their show back in 2009, heard Chroma played in its entirety, and collected a 2025 Cartel drumstick story (this time, one pegged me in the forehead!!! but I didn’t catch it). Successful evening indeed!!!

Nothing lifts me more than another audio reread of Lady Sophia’s Lover. Forever grateful that I bought my copy on Audible before the updated release/new narration.

One of my favorite things about Angel (the series) is how unexpectedly funny it is at times. I remember thinking that the tone would be super serious because Angel was such a serious character (when he’s With Soul), so the humor that weaves throughout the series was SUCH a pleasant surprise!

Question: y’all love a character who seems to get consistent hate in your fandom? Because I genuinely will be ready to fight anyone over Lucas Scott AND Peyton Sawyer.

Y’know, queen Jade’s album ‘THAT’S SHOWBIZ BABY!’ is really getting me through this spinning dumpster fire we call life right now. Even in 2025, as a Little Mix stan, I stay winning.

If you're going to have a filthy one-night stand with a burned-out former rock star you just met, you should at least have standards.
NOBODY'S BARGAIN is short, explicit, and just $2.99.

I love when the That’s So 90s channel on Prime is playing Felicity. Especially when it’s in the first or second season (right now, it’s playing the first).

A protest by Orthodox Jews—on a Friday night—against the Gaza genocide. On the steps of the NYPL.

As national attention turns to Memphis, please don't think Chicago is out of the crosshairs. The plan for the Guard was seemingly called off for now, but federal immigration enforcement operations have ramped up and the people involved in them have gotten *way* more aggressive. Right now:
There's now four agents, two armed with long guns, standing on the roof of the processing facility in the Chicago suburb of Broadview, IL.
