Two weeks ago, this sister sent the family group chat a doom and gloom message about the super hurricane coming to kill us all in a few days' time. Offered to shelter us. The storm never came.

As a workaholic Capricorn woman with a *super* anxious sister, I was kind of waiting for this video to drop.

Dude, if I can get into pottery and tennis as a full-grown adult, anyone can do anything! (And both are hobbies that also have helped me make new IRL friends to boot!)

I have a number of cool interviews in studio today and one of them might make me break my golden rule... I might need to nerd out and get a photo with the talent

I got my first haircut and color in ages tonight and it looks so good and healthy and cute, but you can't see it yet because the last 48 hours have ground me to a pulp and I have the haunted look of a woman driven mad not by love, but work. But trust me...it cute.

Rewatching the Conan bit where he tries Civil War re-enacting and I love his commitment to being wrong as much as possible except he’s clearly made the correct choice to be in Union blue.

Just combing through my own spooky/sexy/gothy/romantic playlists and some recs that might work include: "Howl" by Florence + the Machine, "Under Your Spell" by Desire, "Sad Dream" by Sky Ferreira, "Beggin for Thread" by BANKS, "#1 Crush" by Garbage, and "Decode" by Paramore

It was ON SALE at my local discount big grocery store. And now I’m obsessed. Reminds me of a way less spicy version of Smartfood’s brief Buffalo sauce flavor era 13 years ago.

Okay, but Doritos Nacho Cheese-flavored Smartfood popcorn is...a revelation? Maybe my new fave snack. Maybe I need to stock up while it's on sale at my local grocery store?

The state of online media is such a bummer, I sometimes think: who cares? Then, I read something so smart and so funny and so uniquely the product of this compromised but generative space, that I remember: I care!

The packages arrived square and thin and carefully wrapped on Saturday afternoon. There were three of them, but only one was mine. If I could have rejected my package, sent it back from whence it came...

Irish people have to constantly be gabbing and making jokes because if we pause for one second, we look like the meanest fuckers.

TASK ends on a wild cliffhanger this week and I got to chat with Tom Pelphrey and director Jeremiah Zagar about that epic two-hander in the car with Pelphrey and Mark Ruffalo. decider.com/2025/10/05/t...

The pop culture fan in me is totally fine with “Ophelia was driven mad by love” in a Max Martin pop song, but the English major in me needs TS to stop asserting this reading in interviews because, uh, it’s a lot more complicated than that.

Woke up and realized the reason why the chapter I started yesterday isn't working is that it's got to come later in the story. So now I'm shuffling the outline a bit. The upside? We're moving up a good sex scene.

Hell yes. I'm going to make my beloved "taco hash" recipe later. (I used the coupon to get a discount on ground beef, which I've been craving forever but has been too expensive lately to justify the purchase.)
