Martha "Just throw me in a hole" Stewart

"Megan is Missing." Hands down the most upsetting/repulsive movie I've ever seen. Don't watch it. [Really. Don't]

Congratulations!!!!

There will come a day when I can no longer wrestle and then deadlift a 70-pound dog fighting for her life against taking a bath. Today was not that day. In your face, dog who no longer smells like a bag of old tortillas.

Congrats, Annie!! This is so cool! Well deserved.

The Elf on the Shelf made spying a holiday pastime For 20 years, an inconspicuous felt toy has delivered formative training in surveillance culture.

Fuck this stupid fucking narc elf

That’s it, that’s the TED talk

Tell me you were going through something this year without telling me you were going through something.

“Here’s that Puffs Plus you wanted. I hid it in this small garbage can shaped like a chimney.”

Life update: Bought a huge coffee mug shaped like a gingerbread house to hold my coffee spoon.

You don't have to video your podcast.

“Come do Christmas with me!” she yelled at her dog.

Painful.

Turns out it only takes 4 days to forget how to do your job/use a laptop.

Love that the takeaway from the Stranger Things series finale is that you can save the world by being extremely gay.

Happy Thanksgiving, America!

This and then right into "Uncle Buck." Every year.

It's been quite a while since I lived in New York, but I can still bob and weave through a holiday mob in any store/parking lot/ sidewalk like I'm in the Matrix. Very handy skill.

Minutes out of watching Wicked in IMAX and am afraid to talk for fear of bursting into song. And yeah, I bought the damn bucket too. And what?

I have been putting a lot of work into a "do no harm" "lead with love" lifestyle but GODDAMN the Frankenstein's monster-level rage I feel towards this seepage of a man. I will dance a jig on the day. I swear I will.

I feel like Pluribus will be my go-to word now. “Can’t. Feeling too Pluribus.” “Why’s it so Pluribus in here?” “Everyone on Tinder looks like Pluribus.” “The new Austra is great. It sounds like Pluribus.”

Andrea Gibson faced death with love "Come See Me In the Good Light" serves to remind us that a good death is a rare privilege

"Death and poetry both demand vulnerability and the willingness to admit to it. They casually spill our secrets into the world and expose us as beings who spend our lives committing humiliating acts of feeling," @andizeisler.bsky.social writes.

People are just the right amount of horny for Frankenstein's monster In the newest take on "Frankenstein," Jacob Elordi's gorgeously tragic creature is a gift to monstersexuals.

Patti Smith opens the final door of her life story In "Bread of Angels," Smith reflects tenderly on her life with her late husband, transforming grief into art.

Nothing will stop me from saying, "Oh my God, it's so cold," every time I go outside. I say it with a little smile, like I'm in a movie. I've lost a lot, but no one can take "main character" from me.

Women didn’t ruin the workplace. Capitalism did When your debate centers on whether women should exist in public, you’ve already lost.

Did women ruin the workplace? No! Did I personally ruin my own weekend writing about the cynical fuckery that led to the New York Times asking that question? I sure did!
