Spicy reader, tv/movie enthusiast, 🌈💅🏻.
Had to get a new phone this week which has been hell. I’ve lost all of my info.

The fact I just had to send a selfie video to Instagram to get logged back in (even though I know my log in!!!) is just icing on the cake of my annoyance.

Two months of intensive twice a week therapy to begin the healing work of the last five years of trauma has led me to accepting that healing my inner child starts with one morning at a time.

The new Jurassic World movie was good, actually! Some slow parts but hardly the death of cinema like some of yall are acting.

Hey Google, how does one make friends in a new city when you’re a mid-thirties introvert?

Honestly? No notes. A solid solid entry to the franchise.

everyone signing on to be a part of the new HBO Max Harry Potter series is endorsing this and should be treated accordingly
You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

Saw a reel from my tattoo shop where multiple artists defended using AI.

Looks like I’m never going back there again! Gonna have to find someone who can finish a leg sleeve…

The world is on fire. It’s the anniversary of losing mom in a day. My doctor is squeezing me in for an emergency appointment less than 12 hours after calling him because of what I thought was a simple a bruise.

Everything is a lot.

Be kind to yourselves and others.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.

How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

I need everyone to tell me their favorite thing about professional Golf. Because I have to work an event and I know nothing.

The number of people who don’t realize TikTok is in fact STILL banned is disconcerting.

App stores are still not allowed to host or update it. I.E. - the original substance of the ban.

Just re-watched Forrest Gump for the first time in YEARS and yeah. It’s a message that is needed as a good life reminder once in a while.

Exactly this. The entire dance was done specifically to benefit Trump and make sure everyone knows that it's he who "saved" TikTok. It's a very successful PR stunt for Trump.
want to be excruciatingly clear about this: TikTok didn't have to go dark last night and it didn't have to turn back on this morning.

both of those were voluntary moves that the law does not directly touch.

I know we’re all really going through it right now, but check on your social media manager friends. The next 72 hours are going to be a lot.

I’ve seen some conversations about TikTok and what’ll happen in publishing if the ban actually happens. I’m just some lady, but I think booktok peaked months ago. Publishing is 12-36 months behind your FYP. And while there was a boom it created a specific quality problem.

For the last 5 years, LAPD has received 3x the budget of LAFD.

The department that coordinates these incredible emergency responses, the Emergency Management Department, gets about $4million - less than .1% of LAPD’s budget.

When you talk to people offline about these fires, drop that in.

Charging every device, including battery banks, and making sure all my clothes are washed so I can layer up if the heat goes out. ERCOT says we won’t lose power. But I’ve heard that before.

All while monitoring the updates out of California. Everything is devastating.

pluto: lord i see what you have done for the brontosaurus
Don’t know if the other Gen-Xers have been following this saga to its completion but yes, brontosaurus is a dinosaur again. There was a mixup with apatosaurus and that’s why we thought no brontosaurus but turns out that yes there really were thunder lizards after all!

Cleopatra lived closer in time to 'yeet' being in the dictionary than to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

I’m not involving myself in the discourse, but as someone working two full time jobs, with intense depression, affording the groceries is not the only “value” to ascribe to cooking versus takeout.
