Two bright cocktails against a pink Barbie background

#whatarewedrinking At the Malibu Barbie Cafe pop-up for Comic-Con, drinking sugar drinks with edible glitter and regretting nothing. Beach Mojito (silver rum, coconut rum, coconut syrup, mint, simple, lime) and Cali Collins (rose and jasmine gin, simple, lemon). My job is beach.

Two cocktails on a marble counter. On the left a tropical red cocktail with a paper umbrella. On the right a creamy yellow cocktail in a tall fluted glass. The glasses sit on red paper napkins.

#whatarewedrinking It’s not a visit to San Diego without a stop at Raised by Wolves. Their Banana Cream Flip is truly one of my favorite cocktails on the planet. Creme de Banane, Pandan, coconut, egg custard, absinthe. Outstanding.

Yesterday we posted about the Trump administration shutting down the LGBTQ+ youth crisis line, the “press 3” option on 988 is officially gone. The Trevor Project is stepping up to help fill the gap, and they could really use some support right now. If you’re able, please consider donating! 🏳️‍🌈 💛

#whatarewedrinking Salsa Verde Margarita at Daisy. Charred tomatillo, green chile, cilantro, macho, derrumbes salmiana, lime.

A solid contender for best cocktail of 2025, hands down.

#whatarewedrinking Ecto Cooler at Craft by Smoke & Fire. Broken Spirits Vodka, Midori, tangerine, lime, Dole Whip foam.

I ain’t ‘fraid of no ghosts.

Did everyone know that certain grasshoppers turn into locusts when they’re crowded or stressed? Locusts aren’t their own species. (Okay, scientific oversimplification, but still…) Once they turn, they’re locusts until the end of their lifecycle. It’s like a proper comic book mutant scenario. Wild!

Federal Agents March Through L.A. Park, Spurring Local Outrage

There are no words for my frustration and horror at the mobilization of armed military in an American city simply as a “show of force.” Disgusting.

Old lady rant: I’m worried that lack of etiquette will be the true downfall of movie theaters. Sure, concessions and tickets are expensive, but they always have been. The new monster is post-Covid crowds who don’t seem to realize they’re not in their own homes. Cell phones, talking, munching. Ugh.

Grateful for Representative Hakeem Jeffries for standing up all morning against of the Big, Ugly Bill.

I’m prepared for the reality, but I’m still optimistic that elected officials on both side of the aisle will put the needs of America’s kids, elders and veterans over tax breaks for the rich.

Finished Season 4 of The Bear. Wow, FX. That’s some beautiful television. Season 5, please, Chef.

Shoot! (But just keep in mind this is my personal account, so I can’t comment on anything in an official capacity because I love rules) 🤓

The Office, Parks and Rec, Modern Family, Community, Ted Lasso, The Bear…

Casual observation: Does every modern TV comedy feature at least on memorable karaoke scene/episode?

#whatarewedrinking Sidestepping the anxiety of the next four years in the US with a standout brunch at Jon and Vinny’s Studio City. Strawberry Daiquiri served up. Rum, strawberry, lime. Focusing on what I can control. And what I can control is pretty breakfast booze.

Stunning Opinion essay by Samantha Williams on the Supreme Court’s decision on trans youth yesterday. Our hearts are broken, too. Trans kids deserve so much better.

Are they simplified stories at a younger reading level? Yes. Did they push me to want to purchase really expensive doll accessories? Yes. But on days like today, I get excited to commemorate the past because I feel like I have a better understanding of it. Those literary roots are part of me.

Reading teaches empathy. And I’m so grateful that my childhood obsession was American Girl books. Independence Day meant more because I read Felicity’s story. Juneteenth meant more because I read Addy’s journey. I have such a passion for honoring the past because I was introduced to it early.

We love some Paul Dano and all, but you’re still planning on doing a Juneteenth post for June 19, right, @letterboxd.social?

Saw hundreds of peaceful and creative folks down at the Los Feliz/Hollywood protest today. Great energy, respectful policing, and some really clever signs. I’m proud of you today, rebels.
