"Of course, it upsets me when people are vehemently opposed to my having anything to do with this," Lithgow said on stage at IFFR. "But if you read through the Harry Potter canon, you see absolutely no trace of transphobic sensibility. She has written this great meditation on kindness and empathy and acceptance, which is why it’s so strange to me."

My man, you are 79 years old and well experienced in the arts and entertainment industry. Have you never encountered a bad actor who makes one thing and does another, or heard of someone becoming BATSHIT INSANE and DOUBLING DOWN? Perhaps you could have a look at ALMOST EVERYTHING that is happening?

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

the absolute pure joy of making whipped cream and letting your son lick the spoon when you're done. GODDAMMIT WHY ARE YOU SO CUUUUTE.

I come on here, post about video essays and/or baking and then I leave.

I'm not and will never be a Dramione shipper but I will listen to a good argument and acknowledge the points (the direct Dramione ship discourse/perspective is later in the video after the great cultural/societal examination of how these are the HP fics that got published and what that says)

Absolute chef's kiss of a video from @princesmweekes.bsky.social on how the marketing of recently published books raises a hell of a bunch of red flags. She's also donating ad revenue from the video! Give it a watch and ~learn~

just chuckled at Bill Confederate Compton. Never let that man breathe, please!

Taking a break from the Showgirl era to watch the new @princesmweekes.bsky.social video...because I contain multitudes

baking updates:
1. i have my mom's biscotti recipe and it is so much fun to make different flavored treats with it
2. my coworker said she ate 3 of the espresso chocolate dipped ones i made
3. baking is really fun (may have already covered this)

Every one of these covid-revisionism pieces consists of people lying to your face about events that you remember

The thing to remember about Andrew Cuomo's breakfast order is that he resigned the governorship in disgrace after being credibly accused of sexually harassing at least 11 women with unwanted groping, kissing and sexual comments

"Hooray! Go @izball.bsky.social @lilydu.bsky.social and @erikaishii.bsky.social ! We love you! You're gonna get a lightsaber!!"

driving to the corner store to get sugar because my dumb ass thought we had enough to make cookies

Bro they lobotomized your aunt

they're still not cute, it is what it is.

what's kinda fun about thumbprint cookies is that you can add anything to the middle. i made some flavored with a bit of lemon and then added lemon curd in the middle and they're WONDERFUL.

Made more thumbprint cookies! They're not that cute but I accept them for the way they are. The chocolate didn't melt as much as I wanted but alas. Taste yummy!

Remember when I said I'd just do posts about baking? Well:

Thumbprint cookies are harder than I expected LMAO (or maybe I was tired)

My son got 3 shots at the doctor today. After each one:

"Ow, that hurts, I don't like that."

Again: do not accept anything less than this from any of them

Imo lawyers should treat the birthright citizenship case as a test of their entire profession’s legitimacy. If the courts let Trump flagrantly violate the fourteenth amendment a second time, it becomes even harder to avoid the conclusion they’re a rogue branch of government.

it's cool how largescale digital communications channels being almost entirely privatized has lead to people being in psychological hostage situations with billion dollar corporations in Actuality, and not just Metaphor

i think it’s cool that the government is run by people who would embarrass jefferson davis

Shout out to my beautiful little @peterparkleys.bsky.social you matter and you're important
