Exactly! Now that they know she's a threat/exists, they're all gunning for her! 😎😎😎

Hey, yinz! If #Crystal doesn't win this season of #DragRace, then there is truly no justice in this world! #SeeCrystal #RPDR #Living4Crystal

#SonequaMartinGreen belongs in THE BOYS/GEN V universe somewhere, don't you think? There's something about her acting/comedic delivery that feels like it belongs ther. In an AWESOME way, of course!

That looks scrimdiddiliumptuous! 😍😍😍 I am an American who sadly cannot bake for love nor money, and I have been wanting to try a pavlova for YEARS now!

THE PRINCESS BRIDE is one of those movies for me. If you don't understand why that movie is a masterpiece, then there is a fundamental level on which we will never understand one another. :)

I'm at a "staged concert" performance of Lionel Bart's OLIVER! The instrumentalists are warming up onstage, which sounds like a bunch of children were given meth and then let loose in a music store. If it doesn't cease soon, I'm gonna go full-ham on everyone with an oboe. #StayTuned #Newsat11

Word. My dad was brainwashed and stolen from me when I was about 13 yo. He didn't actually pass away for another thirty years.

When it comes to the GOP, if hate were people, I'd be China. And India. Hell, throw in Russia while you're at it.

Do you ever have moments when you're reminded of a movie you once watched, but instead of remembering it in bits and pieces, your brain just hands you the whole thing in the form of a mashed-up blob?

Asking for a me. 😜😜😜

Not included in the official statements, though heavily implied: the sound of the rest of the world *smh*-ing at the same time. We know, people. We know.

Also, I cannot and--do not--recommend any of the US seasons of THE TRAITOR.

First off, too many Bravo faces I don't recognize. Secondly, they brought on Boston Rob as an option! Who would volunteer to go against one of SURVIVOR's GOATs? Bottom line: the US producers don't know what they're about.

I'm still working out what I want to be when I "grow up," but I've always been drawn to women's issues and I'm developing a hunger for advocacy.

At the same time, I'm trying to find out if there's a job naming things: colors, scents, flavors, etc. because I was definitely made for that, too. 🤔🤔🤔

@filmandseries.bsky.social I'm very glad about all the actors, writers, producers, etc. y'all have signed for #Cruella2, but you gotta know the real make or break employment decision here is costume designer, right?? Because if genius/Oscar-winner #JennyBeaven isn't coming back, then neither am I.

To paraphrase PRETTY WOMAN: If people have ceased to surprise you, then you are very, VERY lucky because most of them continue to shock the hell outta me.

Okay. In the US, on Peacock, search for "The Traitors," choose the original flavor (UK) WITH celebrities, and then sit back and enjoy one of the best seasons of competitive reality awesomeness ever.

You're welcome! 😁😁😁

Amazon Music curated this for me, so I'm hella biased, but I'm pretty sure this lineup is fire, right??

You know all those weird social cues and steps required for a person to go from being a stranger or an acquaintance to a friend or lover or whatever? For me, most of those are so stressful and/or confusing that I dont even bother anymore.

I adore visual artistry in its myriad forms, and I've come to appreciate music more and more as I get older, but the written word--the euphonious magic of a well-turned phrase--always has been, and always will be, most deeply etched upon my heart.

Just felt like sharing ❤️

It has been 19 hours since this post, so... Do you regret them yet??

(For the record, you don't need regret b/c they're SUPER cute, but I've never met a woman who didn't regret every bangs decision at least once. 😆)

The names of a few fan groups I just learned:
-Fans of actor Chris Pine = Pine Nuts
-Charli XCX fans = Charli's Angels
-Ellie Goulding fans = Goulddiggers
(Side note: Crochet fanatics call themselves "hookers"!)
And, my new fave...
-Ed Sheeran fans = Sheerios

My (fictional) fans = Hey, Balers! 😆😆😆

I believe this specifically benefits owners of truck nutz and men who start most sentences with, "Actually..." (i.e., no one).

Can we all just stop pretending they're an actual court?

Sometimes ADHD makes me feel like I'm playing a game that everyone knows the rules to, except me.

FLANA-STAN FEST--Watchtoberfest 2025 Every October, I make a list of 31 horror movies and try to watch them all! I started coming up with themes a few years back, and this year's theme is: FLANA-STAN FEST, a tribute to one of my favorite...

I'm in the last few days, and as per usual, I am both exceedingly proud and terribly ashamed of the amount of content I've ingested over the past month.

The new FRANKENSTEIN looks boring and basic AF. 🙄🙄🙄

Aside from Brooks' classic romp, the only quality update I've found of Shelley's work is THE ANGRY BLACK GIRL AND HER MONSTER (2023), written/directed by #BomaniJStory. Remakes/adaptations should add something to the convo, or what's the point??

The word "turd" (defined as "a piece of fecal matter") has been in use since before the 12th century!
