skeet made after watching the fallon interviews, and now i’m watching the zayn lowe and indeed, as everyone else has said, she really does just lay it all out.

i am, in fact, entertained.

fate of ophelia is about the process of it all, isn’t it? the parts work? saving herself from the machine? the blender? the “team” in question is *her* team that makes her whole operation work? and the “keep it 100” is so shakespeare using his slang if the time?

ok watched the mv—she’s in simulacra, she lights the match, she pledges allegiance to “me, myself, and i” — considering how the people who work with her seem to describe her, she’s too smart & it’s all just too on the nose to think she doesn’t still have something up her sleeve.

ah tOTally gotcha. some light yeeting was still afoot early this morning (tmi but mostly mucus, which feels like a good sign—extra protection from extra acid?) so idk even where we are but i’m sure figure it out 🤡

ah see i’ve had to be sittin up for so much of this to get gravity’s help keeping things down, but that’s bc this isn’t quite ibs but rather acute food poisoning — but there are so many overlaps in experience that some of these recs absolutely hold up!

more and more people should be saying this considering during covid is now

babs ✨ @itsbabs.bsky.social · Jul 10

masks were an infringement upon freedom when used to prevent disease, until they became a means to the freedom to disappear our community members without consequence, all while banning face covering for protestors exercising their own freedom—because the underlying eugenic ideology remains the same.

babs ✨ @itsbabs.bsky.social · Jun 14

if you care to think of yourself as an ally to marginalized people, as a comrade of mine, but you are not wearing a respirator at a protest? you’re not wearing one on transit you took to and from? why?

who are your actions in alignment with?

Taylor Swift was on a podcast talking about how people who are gluten free can eat sourdough. Anyways, as a person with Celiac, I can confidently say "no the fuck we can't." Sourdough bread is not gluten free. Do not feed sourdough bread to gluten intolerant people or people who have Celiac.

ha ha i am not better 🫩
this food poisoning episode is now in its 4th day…
that feels… unusual
but i do have lupus and the world is on fire so maybe extenuating circumstances?

Explain your user name:

Our original last name had no vowels so we chose a more pronounceable (but still Jewish) one when they let us in here. And that’s my handle because I need to be findable online for professional reasons.

explain your username:

I started going by “Miss Kitty Fantastico” online when I started watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer as a teenager, but that was often too longer for a username on a lot of sites, so I shortened it to “misskittyf.” It’s stuck for nearly 20 years now.
