I mean. Nobody really needed Target anymore with the internet and Costco right there lol. That was their first mistake.

I spotted a Hyunjin photocard on a persons backpack when I was getting coffee. I tapped her on the shoulder and asked if Hyunjin was her bias (yes). I think the encounter made both our days.

Nope, not going back to Target. I’ve figured out workarounds (hello Costco!), plus I don’t want to support a company that takes Black and brown dollars for granted and then dismantles its DEI policies. Nope.

😬

Went to the monthly pre-Code movie night at the local cinema. Girls About Town was a fantastic film! Directed by George Cukor.

I am doing something I *reallydon'twanttodo* and it's going to take a while. UGH.

Maybe it's a Meghan/Megan thing. 💔

I’m reading V. 4 of The Scum Villain’s Self-saving System, and it is making what happened earlier in the series so much clearer. #danmei

Having a high depression day. Why is doing something—anything—so exhausting? 🙁

Hey if you want the pattern for the fern shawl Violet knits in Murder by Memory, and which Dorothy wears in Nobody’s Baby, that’s going out tomorrow for newsletter subscribers! buttondown.com/OliviaWaite

fujos are so poetic

MAYBE you were furious a Black dude was President. Okay, bigot, go off; but were you better off in general? You fucking were, you shortsighted racist.

Hey, I’m beginning to suspect that electing ONE Black person to a high government office caused all sorts of pushback from bigots. Pushback all of us are suffering through ( FUCK YOU, RACISTS! That is, all white people are racist, but some of YOU are fucking PROUD of it).

Barbara Stanwyck in Christmas in Connecticut: “I’m inclined to agree with them.”

I have never been more angry about a tax season

*clocked*

I *just* clicked SEVEN kids?!? Wow (I’m an only and have an only).

A year ago, Mahmoud Khalil was abducted because he spoke out against the government’s actions—while being an immigrant. While being Palestinian.

And while being a New Yorker.

We will continue to stand up to protect students, like Leqaa Kordia, and all of our neighbors—and freedom of speech.

Yeah, it’s not A house that’s the problem. I own a house in NYC!

"I said, 'Why don't we just capture the ship? Why did we sink them?' He said, 'it's more fun to sink them.'"

Oh, no biggie. Just the president of the United States out there boasting about the commission of war crimes, to the uproarious laughter of his Nazi cohort.

We COULD. Will we?

A truth that has yet to be debunked: people who use Unexplained Capital Letters are Unhinged (except for Germans, I think that’s part of their language?)

The president is Mr. Random Capitalization. AS IF I DIDNT HATE HIM ENOUGH BEFORE. He’s making a mockery of the simple sentence.

It’s more fun to sink them. 🤢

I'm sure I have more recs if I sit and have a think--I'll add as my brain works.

Ballboy Tactics and Love in the Air (the latter is QUITE steamy).

I have been! Not as much lately, but a friend is getting into them, so I’ll likely return.
