For 2025, I hope for the good people to thrive. That's all.

Plus Don't Look Up, which is ham-handed with the metaphors and all but still onpoint and entertaining. And, always, The Leftovers and Watchmen as a double feature to capture the ~ mood ~ of collective chaos.

Instead of Idiocracy you should all be watching Years and Years right now. Just sayin'.

America. Happy Thanksgiving.

I align with those who think certain media folks were fine with (gestures) all of this because it's good for ratings, and, well, I will not be participating in that reward cycle thanksverymuch ✌️

The news accidentally auto-played in the backdrop of my search for on-demand Dexter reruns and I shuddered. No thanks.

Who else has been boycotting all post-election TV news as a means of self-care and has zero intention of changing that anytime soon?

Still if you are a woman who just feels collapsed about the fact that we just aren't good enough again, well, I feel you. You aren't alone.

As the one very loud blue dot in a deep red family, I'm sending vibes of calm and restraint to all my fellow outnumbereds this holiday. Protect your peace!

Maybe it should be a non-stop memorial feed for childhood gun violence victims.

Hello smart people. How long will the oasis last?
