Been listening to “Gideon the Ninth” and reading a physical copy of “Boy on the Bridge” and it’s like taking a masterclass in world building. Obsessed.

ITS MY BIRTHDAY AND IM DOING ALL MY FAVORITE WEIRD STUFF TO CELEBRATE.

Just saw a video where a woman goes “meow meow meow” after receiving a compliment and I fear I will be doing this from here on out.

They’re selling personal sized watermelons at the local Kroger. All watermelon is personal sized if you believe in yourself.

FINALLY got to watch Sinners (2025).

Amazing.

Still organizing my thoughts about it. But gut reaction is all positive.

Sex Workers Are Being Abducted by ICE — and Abandoned by Respectability Politics Sex workers targeted by ICE need the migrant justice movement’s full solidarity.

Genuinely shocked at what couple got kicked off tonight.

This is the real election fraud.

I could watch Olandria and her mom talk for hours. They just light each other up and I love it. Big fan.

“My cooch about to be done for,” - the great philosopher Huda. 😂

Went to the store to buy a notebook. After finally narrowing down my decision (roughly 20m), an attendant pointed out a 30% section of notebooks in a different area of the store.

Had to start all over.

Folds: If we’ve been told our whole lives that we can’t spend money on the arts because they’re not important—then why was taking over the Kennedy Center and the arts the first thing they did?

It is extremely important. It’s the bedrock of self-expression.

Kudos to your mom. I can’t even imagine what they possibly think could have been a justification to wait to tell her.

I saw this for the first time at a “class sleepover” and everyone fell asleep before the movie ended except for me and another girl. We both stayed awake the entire night together because we were too terrified to sleep.

And I still get paranoid walking by lifted furniture.

👏👏👏😂

Watched #Wicked directly after #LoveIslandUSA. And every time Fiyero appeared on screen, whispered “a hot new bombshell has entered the villa.”

I don’t think I’ve ever finished a book series and immediately started it again, the way I did with Murderbot.

Ugh. Tonight’s episode made me mad. I’m so sick of Pepe. He told Andreina he wasn’t going to explore with her because of Gracyn and told Gracyn he didn’t feel anything. If you miss Hannah so much, go be with Hannah. Stop wasting space. #LoveIslandUSA

The closer it gets to #Leo season, the stronger I feel. 🦁 😂🤌🏻

KATSEYE fashion/styling reminds me of The Pussycat Dolls from back in the day. Lots of layers and accessories, but still a lot of skin.

Not a criticism, just a thought.

Omg that’s such a good way to put it. 😂 I would not want to be friends with Huda - she’s too inconsistent for me - but damn if I don’t enjoy watching her on tv. 🤌🏻

1st - my husband is so excited that someone agrees with him 😂

2nd - I do think she has a frantic energy and is insecure. I also think it’s (close to) impossible to build a genuine relationship w/ someone until you overcome your own insecurity so I’m not sure the Island is the best place for her.

I will say that the one thing I would ask her to work on and be more aware of is she does talk over people and cut them off. & I know in some cultures, people talk over each other (I come from one) but hers is like extreme. She needs to give space to others to speak.

Right now the biggest disagreement my husband and I are in is regarding Love Island USA. I love Amaya and he finds her deeply annoying. 😂 But I just think women are so often encouraged to get rid of their softness and sensitivity… I love that she embraces those characteristics.

#LoveIslandUSA

Right?! I think it’s because I’ve been reading (and rereading) so many novellas this year. I’m looking at you Murderbot series. 👀

Obsessed with this incredible @chiosse.bsky.social clip

I wonder where they’re being manufactured.

I don’t understand why some of the people seem to wear a standard uniform to the saving ceremony and others switch their wardrobe each time. Pick a gimmick, show. #TheSnake #tvsky #tvthoughts
