If you haven't heard from me in a while, it's because:

1. Rappscallion has entered NIGHTLY SCREM PHASE (fuck giant spiders).

2. The news of my family being anti-science makes me worry about what else they might be susceptible to.

3. My mental health hasn't been so great. I'm so tired. T_T

Rappscallion: "The truck is SO BIG. And the car is veeeeerrry small!"

Me: "Yes, sweetie."

R: "Oh no oh no the truck wants to EAT the car!"

Me: "Hold still! There are boogers in your nose."

::five minutes later while emptying the dishwasher::

Me, to the same rhythm as "Let the Bodies Hit The Floor": "There are boogers in your nose. There are boogers - goddamnit.'

And I say again, the enduring appeal of many murder mystery stories is the notion that the rich and powerful can be made to pay any consequence at all for the horrendous crimes they commit in plain sight.

You know it's bad in FL when the alligators are showing up in the Charles.

(Also the alligator camera POV shot was hilarious.)

Yes. Yes yes yes.

Bond needs continuity like a woman needs a man, or a fish needs a bicycle.
Since apparently there is James Bond discourse, here’s the simplest way to get out this self-imposed “how do we unkill Bond” mess.

YOU DON’T *NEED* CONTINUITY, FFS

Keep the same actors for M, Moneypenny, Q, Leiter, and Lashana Lynch as 008 or whatever number.
New Bond.
Set it in the 60s.

EASY.

::At pottery studio. A weird house remix of Haddaway is playing::

Friend: "This is an odd choice."

Me: "It's definitely not very relaxing."

::Friend nods as we sculpt tiny animals::

Me: "It could be worse."

F: "hm?"

Me: "It could be the new Taylor Swift album."

Musk has proven time and again that he can't handle a world - imagined or real - where everyone has a voice.

Given how thin-skinned he was about Twitter, I'm not surprised he's terrified of the concept of a trans woman elf ranger.

Because Lathander forbid we pretend to be empowered in any realm.
The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Great read. Love this re: Musk:
“But maybe it’s not surprising that the planet’s richest man missed the point of a story about the corrupting nature of power.”

It is my personal belief that the Raccoon Folks on New Capenna immigrated there from Bloomburrow, after being kicked out from doing all the crimes using their itty bitty thumbs.

Feels like a good time to revive this for the newcomers
Feeling spicy might delete but I used to work with Chuck Schumer's eldest daughter, and when she was getting ready to go to Yale Law she was dissatisfied with her financial aid package so she made them do a three way call (at the office) with her and her dad to push for a better package

Discovering that parts of my family are:

1. Seed Oil Haters

2. Crypto CrossFit Bros

3. Covid Vaccine Deniers

Has thoroughly infused my day with rage and despair.

Incredibly bittersweet to be published in Teen Vogue this weekend after devastating layoffs, including my editor for this piece. It’s about how beauty influencers have fallen into and become part of the alt-right pipeline targeting girls and women

Love how hard-right MAGA Christians are all for starving families when Jesus was like: "Oh, we don't have enough wine/bread/fish? I gotchu fam."
