it simply cannot be matched and it’s a part of a MONTAGE?!

I assumed the Boys in Don Henley’s “The Boys of Summer” would be as integral to the song’s narrative as Thin Lizzy’s Boys (the ones who are “Back In Town”) but somehow they only feature in the last line of the chorus?!

But they’re the TITULAR Boys!

Was literally just talking with @vodkaqueen.bsky.social about how my day job is trying to go all in on AI now, it’s so hard to avoid

It’s such a scary time. Honestly I hope “bizarre” art finds its people who like that it isn’t smoothed out and generated by plagiarism machines…

Thank you! I really appreciate it.

@lwflouisa.bsky.social hi! You do beautiful work. I think my friend was added to your Crypto Scammers blocklist by mistake—she works in fundraising for the arts and is vocally against crypto and genAI. I won’t tag her (bc, blocked) but her @ starts with vodkaqueen.

Idk about your reps but mine don’t have voicemail so this would not work

You are going to be unstoppable at this

I just subscribed after yet another attempt to call both senators that didn’t go through.

I just think that perhaps senators, who ignore emails with impunity, should perhaps have voicemail options for when their call volume is high rather than directing constituents to “hang up and try later”

I recommend this training from the IDP if you want context for this moment in our country's immigration policy, would like to know how to help, & wants to see what tactics ICE has used in the past & how people have successfully defended their rights:

NOOOOOO

My sweet friends are joining! Haaai @davidkornfeld.bsky.social and @udonemessedupaaron.bsky.social, anyone you following that I might have missed coming over?

at least he died doing what he loved?

Ariel is a stan confirmed

I had a moment that surprised me before our holiday party at work seeing some people start drinking—really surprised me because after 11 years I almost don’t think about drinking anymore. It can sneak up on you.

Just gave to help Ahmad’s family. If you can give, anything helps.

You were so great!

What am I gonna do, *not* put truffle hot sauce on potato salad? Bffr

My husband just said “are you sure you haven’t already had enough tonight” but instead of about alcohol he was talking about hot sauce after I choked on spicy miso soup

I’ve hit an important milestone in my relationship with my mother—the point where she asks me “am I being a b*” and I get to say “noooo you’re 100% right!!”

attraction, like life, is a rich tapestry

Picture of Joseph Quinn as Eddie Munson in Stranger Things. Giant curly wig, jean jacket, Hellfire Club D&D shirt.

Is it better or worse that my nuclear crush began when he looked like this

At least this dude wasn’t incestuous…

AND THEY ARE ALL TOO HANDSOME AND NOT WEIRD ENOUGH

(mostly I think he makes super interesting choices as an actor across roles)

(Spencer knows because I won’t shut up about it)

Joseph Quinn as Emperor Geta in Gladiator II about to give a thumb’s down with text from Screen Rant that reads “Joseph Quinn’s Gladiator 2 Role Reverses His Career Trend and I’m” but the rest is cut off.

Yes I do mean this guy.
