Audis are so gorgeous. 😍 that’s such a cool plan, to stick with the make and model that work.

yaaasss! come on, honda civic! i know that’s gotta be a very reliable ride. I’ve read toyotas and hondas are the sturdiest makes of all.

thank you for reading it! 💕

a personal history of automobiles. life lessons throughout the timeline of license and registrations.

i bought a new car last weekend, which made me think about all of my old cars, which made me think about the trajectory of my adult life. stacialbrown.substack.com/p/a-personal...

you know me well. I’ve already watch 1.5-2 seasons of it. it started to get bad/less watchable at about that point.

and please know that the “apologies” do *nothing* to mitigate that. they just don’t. in many cases they are as or more insulting than the original offense.

so even when an incident has nuance, it’s still gonna be highly triggering for those of us who are being called n—s and monkeys on main again.

we’re living through a time when blatant expressions of racist ideology are being mainstream-platformed again in a way we had once half-succeeded at shaming folks into to relegating to whispers and shadows.

things that are deeply painful being re-broadcast for the 72 or so hours the public finds them clickable is one of my least favorite technological “advancements.”

because those of us most susceptible to that pain carry it a lot longer than a news cycle does.

i have been dodging that bafta footage like a last-picked gym student. i’m very sorry to hear that that happened and i don’t want to see or listen to that happen repeatedly, 10+times a day, up and down a timeline.

Normalize observing and noting that we actually live in precedented times.

i’m in a car dealership & they’re playing that song from “a star is born” where bradley cooper keeps saying, “maybe it’s time to let the old ways die.”

we don’t talk enough abt he taught himself to sing for that movie & sounded like he could probably secure a contract at a decent country label.

GIRL. first of all, hi!!!

secondly, i saw a an day in a tiktok that he considers this show to be a continuation of twisted and i knew id need to add it to my watch list.

but i think the thing that makes it most compelling is that it takes a somewhat anthropological approach and handles the culture and community carefully/nonjudgmentally.

this film came out when i was a senior in high school and still very much involved in an evangelical church community and practice. i remember feeling like this was more authentic representation than a lot of the “Christian film industry” releases produced like like Kirk Cameron and TBN.

it’s always gonna be The Apostle for me.

thank you for sharing! i hadn’t see this.

this may be controversial, but i don’t like the growing trend of screen projection in stand-up comedy.

it does. 🥴

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one. Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

Bad Bunny has a consulting historian. news.wisc.edu/pop-star-bad...

I agree on both fronts.

i meant to type "feast." but it was a feat, too! make no mistake.

a visual feat. the nail techs? the sugar cane? the wedding, from engagement to reception? Dolly shot?! baby Benito watching the Grammys and getting a Grammy??

everything. 🤌🏾

that was breathtaking. truly.

okay, so i was wrong about the first part of my cardi prediction, but i'm still feeling like the second half may happen. (also i wouldn't have minded her, over gaga. respectfully.)

come on, ricky! you better hit. that. shit!

omg! baby benito receiving a grammy from his future self!!!
