So this lady is selling her jewellery at the Xmas craft fair when a psychic link between she and a priest and a hippie and a First Nations dude calls her away STAT “But my jewellery!” she wails, and I laugh, because I’ve seen her jewellery and I know it’ll all still be there when she gets back

It’s fucked up that the kid in Puff The Magic Dragon just decides to abandon his friend as soon as he gets older. Jackie Paper if I ever find you it’s on sight

You’re a billionaire, why don’t you buy it and make it perfect for us, get some real Nazi thought leaders to make it a richer experience Who in their right mind feels like they “haven’t heard from the other side,” god forbid we don’t hear from them for 10 goddamn minutes

Shiri Appleby is a fucking MIRACLE #unREAL

Rewatching S4 of BUFFY, thinking about how it used to be “oh, David Eddings” when they go “polgara demon,” but now it’s “eeuw, David Eddings”

Thinking about this dude I cruised at Willowbrook Mall at age 15 who gave me a card that said “Nothing gold can stay, Robert Frost once wrote, so let us be silver or platinum, and forever” after I let him feel me up at a bush party.

I will say though that I lifted a quirk from another writer, she’d just leave off the -ly, “he drifted into the parlour, quiet” for example, and I really enjoyed the feel of it.

My handler has a weird foot shape and it really creeps me out #confessions

What if the only reason I love IT: CHAPTER TWO is I can’t get enough of James McAvoy’s delivery of “You… stole… from Native Americans..?”

Out of nowhere, Wordscapes has altered its tournament periods, extending them five weeks longer than before. I’m telling you because it turns out that I was far from the only person who quit when they “win” so others could take those spots. It’s the Wild West on there tonite.

I saw this guy doing well in a bit part and I was like who he, and turns out he’s a celebrated Quebecois director who hung it up because nobody saw his movies… but then also that I had seen all his movies, just incidentally, and so I was like oh no.

Someone on FB posted this and of course I knew what he meant, but butt

you don't see husbands realizing they forgot their anniversary and searching for a gift and seeing the necklace their wife wanted in a window for $50 and pulling out an empty wallet and moths flying out and then seeing a poster that says "BOXING MATCH FIRST PRIZE $50" and saying "hmmm" much anymore

Lookit, I WANT to like DEPT Q, I like Matthew Goode and I like grumpy British people, but I’m 52 and his character’s name is Morck, so every time he’s ugly to someone I’m like nanoo nanoo, my brother.

I miscarried twice…once in a toilet. A 9 week pregnancy is the size of a period clot. I flushed the toilet. Today, I could go to jail for that. Jail. For a wanted pregnancy my body rejected and I took care of by myself.

HITCHER IN THE DARK is notable for many reasons—it’s almost entirely in the light!—but for me the main thing is Jane off MELROSE PLACE goes through A LOT but never seems very concerned except when the psycho killer gives her a Momover.

elon musk to donald trump at every meeting in the oval office: “you are in the epstein files. meet my 3 year old son”

Watching an extremely sleazy movie from 1989 which stars Jane from MELROSE PLACE and features an offbrand Discman that everybody covets… …but the movie won’t ever say what Disc was in that Man, and it’s making me CRAZY.

The beery beardo hoser in THINGS is some kind of art historian, but nobody wants to talk about that. #CanCon

There really should be a grief resource specifically for people who have to console a loved one over the death of an unrepentant dicknoodle

I don’t mean to brag, but I’ve just learned that I’m featured on public engagement lists this week

Well said.

June 5, 1989. A lone man blocks the path of 13 tanks in Tiananmen Square with his body. The day before, Chinese govt had violently cleared protestors after a 6 wk standoff. Nobody knows what happened to Tank Man, but his act of courage became one of the most iconic images of the 20th century. ✊🏽

You remember James Frey as the confabulator who faked a memoir and got humiliated by Oprah for it; I remember him as the book packager who egregiously exploited young writers with an outrageously bad ghost writing contract. He's always been fucking terrible. whatever.scalzi.com/2010/11/13/t...

This proud man said NO to kink shaming on Judge Judy in like 1994. “My pornography was NOT child pornography, it was ADULT BONDAGE FETISH VIDEOS.”

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

“I couldn’t tell if it was a forty year old woman who had been murdered, or if it was Jake Gyllenhaal.” #PettyPumpkins

Popped a gumby to chill with a Let’s Play, and I guess I’m one of God’s chosen, because turns out the gamer is kind of a dumdum, but he doesn’t know that about himself.

When you get a news alert about your country’s leader choosing a new cabinet minister, but it isn’t Sam Losco off TRAILER PARK BOYS.

GO. MOW. YOUR. MOM. Please report my murder!

You’re telling me this guy was on drugs? I’m not buying it.

Sometimes it’s like HA ha, you know Klingon/Dothraki/Elvish/Whatc, but then other times it’s like holy fuckbiscuits, there are people alive today who have created whole languages, and those languages are spoken by a heckin’ populace

we could have had taco trucks on every corner

Watching this lady they liked getting turned by the White Walkers: Wes: This is a huge bummer. Chey: She’s serving face, though. #PettyPumpkins

Replaying PHANTASMAGORIA, pretty into how Adrienne finds a hidden Satanic temple in her new house and releases a demon there, but doesn’t mention it to her husband

You will note that he has not absolved of same, merely accepted The Facts
