Read and share all over..he nails it

“Boswell… did it snow again?”
“Don’t know.”
“Are you sure you don’t know?”
“Uh uh.”

For Valentine’s Day, my husband sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and Doris Stevens’ “Jailed for Freedom”, an urtext on the American Women’s Suffrage movement. Now that’s romance! He really gets me.

Have you ever given yourself a paper cut with aluminum foil? Because don’t.

Oops. I accidentally shopped.

@curtisisbooger.bsky.social: “I worked on this script for a long time before I got to set. But that scene (“They’re better than you”)—I was working on IT alone in my office, and I started crying.”

It shows. One of the show’s most damaged characters offers its greatest cri de coeur. Brilliant. #SPN

@curtisisbooger.bsky.social: “Men. They think they can stop the apocalypse with duct tape. Come on.” #SPN

Asked @curtisisbooger.bsky.social if after all this time, he can detach and just enjoy the piece. “Yes, but mostly what I’m thinking is how well written these scenes were and what a joy it was to do this with Rob.” #SPN

This “nature is my greatest creation” scene was actually on location in Vancouver somewhere. #SPN

This must be the only episode where we don’t give a shit what the boys are doing. #SPN

@curtisisbooger.bsky.social also just went for a second scotch. He doesn’t watch himself much. #SPN

I once asked fellow Beatlemaniac @curtisisbooger.bsky.social which Beatle he was. “Mal Evans”. Not sure Metatron is even Mal. #SPN

We’re not even to the credits, and that’s the worst beer pour ever.
“Everyone laughed at me” says @curtisisbooger.bsky.social #SPN

Ok, here we go! Sitting with @curtisisbooger.bsky.social, starting “Don’t Call Ne Shurley”. #SPN #Supernatural

Finally decided to watch my way through #Supernatural, and @curtiisbooger.bsky.social asked if I would watch his big episode, “Don’t Call Me Shurley” with him when I got to it. He hasn’t seen it since it aired.

Tomorrow’s the day. Stay tuned for our watch along! #AskMeAboutMyRedemptionArc

I guess all those far-right small-dicked pieces of shit who told us for 50 years that they were on guard against a tyrannical government actually just liked shooting animals in the woods for fun

My New Year’s present to myself was an in-home boxing set up. I’m an absolute beginner, but I’ve really been enjoying it so far.

2026 is a good year for punching things.

I only learned this term yesterday. AWFUL: affluent white female urban liberal. Aw, MAGA gave us a puerile nickname! Are there t-shirts?

Thank you! Very glad you enjoyed it!

Ashley’s Angels. It’s like Charlie’s Angels, but the angels are boys. And also big goobers.

My beloved Mini Cooper, Elton, is finally an official New York resident.

No, I absolutely did not ask for my new license plate to be “6767”, it was randomly assigned. I’m guessing it either makes me super hip with the youths or a complete dickhead. Maybe both?

We had a good run

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

Happy holidays, fellow scum!

How is this even a real dog?

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

True. And the Kennedy Center is named by statute, so the board—even if they did vote for it—doesn’t have legal authority to change it. That doesn’t mean this won’t cause a further catastrophic decline in subscription and ticket sales. The arts are struggling enough without this bullshit.
