I just seriously considered eating a whole jar of castelvetrano olives for dinner, so that's where *I'm* at emotionally.

If you start Pride and Prejudice 2005 at 11:33, Mr Collins will compliment the potatoes at midnight.

Deadwood is one of those shows where any time an actor from it appears in something else, it feels like seeing a friend. The best show.

A friend put on The Bluff as a background movie while we hung out after dinner and I swear a movie has never made less of an impression on me.

The world has sucked so hard today I almost forgot to share a sweet bright spot: One of my neighbors (I suspect the one who's been leaving Rick Riordan and Rainbow Rowell books) left a cute homemade bookmark in my Little Free Library today.

Sometimes systems blow, but people are good.

If only there were a bipartisan movement of concerned citizens from across the economic spectrum who'd be willing to stand up for their rights, or even a film that could act as a blueprint to help them do it...

A black tuxedo cat and a brown tabby are cuddling on a gray couch. The tuxedo has his tongue buried in the Tabby's ear. She is unbothered and happy.

The tabby cat returns the favor, aggressively licking the tuxedo cat's head.

Get you someone who grooms you as intensely as Buster Kitten and Tahani Al-Jameow groom each other. Seriously, kids, get a ROOM.

I know I’ve been asking for $ these past few weeks but in light of last night’s barbarism:

if you would like to help trans folks in Kansas get a ride to their nearest DMV + cover any license fees they can’t pay, please consider donating with the comment β€œTRANS RIGHTS”
