(Also, that episode is called “Ice”)

Recently rewatched that episode of The X-Files where there’s a parasitic worm that possess a human host and then kills everyone, and Scully realizes the way to defeat them is by putting two parasites inside the same host and letting them destroy each other

Thinking about that rn for reasons

How does an AuDHD bitch balance her passions for literature, music, film, television, writing, and four-hour YouTube video essays without letting one interest overtake the others?

Tylenol just gets to steal the credit for my autism that the Mr. Bean VHS collection I got for Christmas when I was 5 worked its ass off for?

Okay, fine, I admit it: I’m the beautiful trans girlfriend named Karl Marx

Me planning my birthday:

Making myself laugh by imagining a pirate singing “Hallelujah”

“But you don’t really care for music, do ye?”

“Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ye”

“All I’ve ever learned from love was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ye”

I wish there was a single American political assassin with an ideology of merit

It’s always like “Man who campaigned on the promise of feeding minority children to a meat grinder has been shot and killed,” followed by “Turns out the shooter thought he should’ve used a wood chipper instead”

I know I'm biased, but @popheist.com's line of members only recaps? So good. For example: @idalupenis.bsky.social's FREAKS & GEEKS recaps, which are basically the platonic ideal of the format. Personal, insightful, critical, entertaining. The best way to relive a show.

I’m glad Houses of Leaves has an index so I can skip to the good parts

I hit a new level of autism today (showed my therapist a video essay)

Literally wrote one of the greatest works of art ever made for the woman he loved like a 15th century bard.

Imagine how validated you’d feel in your choice of partner if you told them that you wanted to star in something about the problems faced by modern women and they proceeded to write A Woman Under the fucking Influence for you.

Cassavetes is the king of the wife guys and I love him.

Is there a single good search engine left that won’t force either AI-generated results or an entire page of sponsored ads on me?

Researching for this novel is significantly more infuriating than it was for my last one.

Really love this lead art I made for what is quite possibly the best episode of one of the best shows. And @idalupenis.bsky.social is killing it on these recaps. Worth the price of admission (episode 1's recap is free for all)

A Rovin', a Rovin', a Rovin' I'll Go: 'Rum Sodomy & the Lash' at 40 - Pop Heist The Pogues' brilliance lied in their exploration of punk and folk and in asking if the two genres were even that different to begin with.

The Pogues' brilliance lied in their exploration of punk and folk and in asking if the two genres were even that different to begin with. Read @idalupenis.bsky.social's tribute to RUM SODOMY AND THE LASH.

The greatest two-sentence horror story ever written

I’m gonna be recapping my favorite T.V. show of all time, Freaks and Geeks. If you wanna see these write-ups, subscribe to PopHeist and help a broke trans girl get paid. 😊

I’m so happy for him!

Messaging every cis male YouTuber I watch, “You know you can just be a girl, right?” until I hit the jackpot

G-Eazy’s verse on Britney Spears’ “Make Me…” is still one of the worst rap verses I’ve ever heard on a hit song.
