When I wake up.

ABC canceling Kimmel because they don't want to say what he says is them exercising their free speech and us not liking it is yet another reason for us to boycott Disney. They are not and have never been our allies. They take our money only because we keep throwing it at them.

a character in the book i'm reading is called "Femtowave"

I did yoga last night and calisthenics this morning for the first time in a year. Please give me my good boy star :)

I bought a Glostad (couch) for my new room in Minneapolis :)

today is my first day here

Minneapolis?

a community is the best

"bisexual blue tinted" I don't know what that means, but per Stacey Dash's Wikipedia: In 2016, with regard to the debate over use of gender-specific bathrooms, she said that transgender rights "infringe upon [her own]".

ok. so. 1. Who wants to watch a sequel to Clueless about the characters in their 50's. 2. Who wants to watch a version of Clueless where Stacy Dash's character is the main character. 3. Who wants to watch a version of Clueless that is a drama?

my library ditched their DVDs and I picked up a bunch of criterion collection ones at their annual book sale

"the place to go for affordable but stylish products." This hasn't been true for years and years. I used to buy a couple of items from target's clothes department every season, but for years now it's been just grim.

I'll probably be skipping that anyways. There are definitely projects with her that I liked, but I've had enough Alison Brie for one life.

Moon Garden was pretty good. I was reminded of Jan Svankmeier's Alice and Tarsem Singh's The Cell at times. #filmsky

My historical fiction-vampire novel is 174,000. I sent out three query letters to agents for it yesterday and immediately got a form letter back saying it was too long.

Should I just chop my boon in half and end it with TBC? #booksky

My hair got caught by a tree. Fortunately I wasn't being chased by my enemies. #Absalom

I think I addressed the criticisms of the first draft of my query letter for Darkness Visible well, and here is what I'm going to actually send off. :) Would it make you want to check out the book? #booksky

What Christians are these? I remember people singing songs from it and Godspell at every opportunity in church growing up.

The meal was yummy.

Has anyone else ever been given Jolly Ranchers at a restaurant? (And this was before the meal) (It was an Afghani restaurant) #foodsky

This is your occasional reminder that Rose O'Neill, creator of the Kewpies, first published female cartoonist in the United States, and among the first cartoonists to build a merchandising empire on their work, turned out some absolutely baller, romantic-feeling size-difference monster art.

why is Looney Tunes the art style of the third one?

MY DINNER WITH ANDRE at The Sphere! See what everyone else in the restaurant is eating! Marvel at the dishes that have yet to be bussed! Thrill as gratuity is added!

The Birthday with Corey Feldman (produced in 2004 but only released in 2024) was pretty interesting. The tone was very strange, almost cartoonish, but I really liked how everything was choreographed. It did as much with modern dance as another film would with CGI. Give it a look, #filmsky
