If you need to dissociate from The Horrors, may I suggest THE UPSHAWS? I can’t be the only one who finds comfort in multi-cam sitcoms. PLUS the leads are fire. But Gen X knows Kim Fields has always been one of the greats.

This is not a comment on its quality, but I have almost zero recollection of HAMNET. Have not experienced this with a book before, and read it in (I think 2022). Still need to see the movie.

A 24-pack of Diet Coke is nearly $15 ON SALE at my grocery store. Two weeks ago, it was nearly $13 (also on sale). Who’s got store brand dupesβ€”but don’t say Aldi’s because the taste is VERY NOT it.

What’s it like to be a writer? It’s 2am and I’m googling brands of papaya juice from the late 1930s.

Publicly and repeatedly demand impeachment or resign.

If you do neither, go ahead and pack your office because you’re losing your next election.

IMPEACH NOW.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

I don’t want to hear anyone giving the β€œthe problem is ILLEGAL immigration” lecture ever again. Or lecturing anyone who’s undocumented for not β€œfollowing the law” when the government doesn’t.

Despite wanting to quit in the middle of my second page today, I looked up 20 minutes later and saw I was in the middle of my sixth page. None of it is GOOD, but it IS written down.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

This song just popped into my head, and as goes the curse of the earworm I must share it to get it out.

Seriously though, I love classic TV themes so much. Did I once burn a CD of my favorites through TV history? πŸ’― An amazing use of Napster and free will. #nerd

I'm seeing a whole lot less outrage for the journalists of color who have been systematically discarded at places like NBC and CBS (and across journalism, really) than the response to Jimmy Kimmel's 5-day suspension.

Fun fact, in the early days of television, the World Series counted as Canadian content because it was "of special interest to Canadians."
