Cory Booker just gave the longest speech in the history of Congress and concluded by apologizing to everyone who had to stay up all night keeping the chamber open and operating.

They say the worst students of a subject can be the best teachers of that subject because they can empathize with the struggle. That is false. I hate teaching math.

Make gentrification easier? Can’t think of a single humane reason.

It is actually genuinely funny that the Army looked at the Executive Order and said "no"

My scarcity mindset is getting some real rage fuel from having to use my free time to over-educate myself and call my reps for a plethora of issues. Like “I could be spending my time reading fantasy books and you got me doing THIS??” That fuel burns real nice, though.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

The Heelers are Sufjan fans??

The Social Network (2025)

I’ve had two people comment on my resting bitch face this week (which, rude) but I think 2025 is the year I embrace my RBF.

“Shouldn’t have wished to live in more interesting times.” Same, BG3 Tav, same.

What’s actually very annoying is that my brain has decided to cope by dusting off the “one foot in front of the other” song from the Rankin/Bass Santa Claus is Coming to Town special which I have not watched since my age was in the single-digits. It’s also kinda charming.

Question for my heart to ponder: My cautious, sensitive heart is precious. How do I discern when my sensitivity is coming from love versus shallow self-preservation?

But dammit Culkin’s performance is layered with love as its foundation. There could be self-serving aspect but love is definitely the core. And as uncomfortable he made me I wanted to accept the invitation his disruption offered.

And oh god the visceral discomfort and anger when Kieran Culkin’s character disrupted those things. I wanted to throttle him. How dare you speak in such a way that hurts others feelings for the sake of your “emotional truth”?

‘A REAL PAIN’ - I related heavily with Jesse Eisenberg’s character. His self-preservation, shyness, emotional conservatism, and his inner-sterilization for the sake of keeping others comfortable was enough to make my head tilt downward.

Me too 🩵

I don’t have much to say about David Lynch’s passing other than as a person also obsessed with red curtains this footage of him gushing makes me feel all 🥰

OMG JUSTIN IS A FELLOW PIRANESI LOVER I’M SO HAPPY

This morning I have teared up at Rhett and Link reading letters from their children and the Superman teaser leave it to 2024 to break open the calcified shell of my heart to leave me like this 🥲

I hope Swept Away starts a trend of beautifully illustrated Playbills.

The Disco Elysium soundtrack is great for when u gotta be productive but ur also grieving

I’m gonna need these DMV theaters to get off their asses and do a production of Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812.
