I have red toesπŸ’… and a lot to say about the back half of #DaredevilBornAgain. All I'll say is that the last time I got weeks to marinate on a superhero movie, I hated it even more by the time I could actually talk about it. Hope everyone enjoyed the first 2 episodes; they rule.

πŸ’…πŸ’…πŸ’…

Marvel TV has become my go-to "I'm giving myself a mani-pedi" shows, and I feel like that statement is going to piss some people off. Anyway, the first four episodes of #DaredevilBornAgain are pretty damn good, and my nails look great. Tomorrow, more episodes and a pedicure.

I saw a girl judge the state of the economy by how long her blonde grow-out was, and I laughed like a hyena. Then I saw someone say, "I'm a recession brunette," and continued to laugh like a hyena. If anyone asks, I grew out my grey because I embraced aging, not because of cost.

I didn't start my journalism career until I was nearly 30. I'm still hoping to someday start my journey as an author someday and I'll be 40 soon. :)

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

Everything is great for critics who don't live in LA or NY. Everything is j u s t g r e a t.

UPDATE: the drywaller showed up, and when I explained my very big concern about mold and mildew because of my allergy, he left halfway through to get mold treatment spray just to be sure.

Last #Oscars post: The Academy got it wrong the moment they snubbed #Nosfertau, the end.

This post is currently doing numbers over on Threads and boy howdy, it's interesting over there. The echo chamber about the Academy and its voters somehow being against Wicked, people arguing with me about what this very obvious post meant, it's a mess over there.

I know everyone is figuring out how much money they lost on their Oscar bets, but can we figure out the Vegas odds on the drywall people actually showing up to do my apartment bathroom? They were supposed to be here last Thursday.

Mikey Madison winning Best Actress is literally the subject of "The Substance." Demi Moore, please explode in a mass of spewing blood right now.

All right, everyone, that is a wrap on awards season; thank god this long trek through hell is over for a little while. I assume the press tour and FYC campaign for #WickedForGood start tomorrow, right? #Oscars #Oscars2025 [Kidding] [Only a little]

I saw someone compare #Wicked losing to #EmiliaPerez at the Oscars to Wicked the Musical losing to Avenue Q at the Tonys, and what the fuck did Avenue Q do to deserve that kind of fucking slander? That's lawsuit worthy.

The only #Oscar worthy thing about the production design of #Wicked was how they managed to make a film that utilized primarily practical sets look fake as hell. That train is real, looks fake, and I hate it. I had someone look at me like I was lying when I told them it was real. #Oscars2025

Being voluntarily sober and on medication that gives me terrible hangovers means I can't drink through the #Oscars, so I'm going to do anything else instead of watching.

The patriarchy/sexism presents itself in the weirdest ways. Want to hear one when I was a wee tiny? I have a clear memory of being in pre-school and a boy asking me my favorite dinosaur.

These "this is X with standard version" and "this is IMAX version" comparisons are not doing what IMAX or studios want them to do. It's just pissing me off that you've put half the fucking movie in a ratio I can't watch once the film leaves theaters.

Once again, I'd like to thank practical PR because I'm not losing another towel to apartment building bullshit; the towel I got from @netflix.com a few years ago for NYAD is currently on the floor collecting water from a flood upstairs. Practical PR above everything else, always.

A 🧡 on my writing archiving journey: In the early days of the pandemic, I decided to hyper-fixate by trying to overcome my internalized shame about my old fanfiction writing. I told myself we all start from somewhere, and you shouldn't be assumed of your own cringey roots.

I'm not going to say I thought these were the same show for a hot minute BUT #Severance #Succession

Btw the best actor performance last year was Colman Domingo in Sing Sing and every other answer is wrong thank you. #SAGAwards #Oscars

A Complete Unknown is SO MEDIOCRE, so of course, it's probably going to sweep at the Oscars. #SAGAwards

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

I love finding a New Thing that sets off my broken brain. Today's New Thing is when someone in the building drops something, stomps their feet, slams a door, or moves something heavy enough that I can feel the vibrations when it hits the ground. It makes me want to crawl out of my skin.

When in a discussion about RFK taking about SSRIs and whatnot, I saw someone say that it won't happen. When asked to elaborate, they pointed out that lobbyists and big pharma will be more influential and powerful than a politician ever will. So, the answer is capitalism. This timeline, dear lord.

I wrote this op-ed about why phase 4 of the MCU was a mess, and with #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld carrying on the same issues that bogged down phase 4, I feel like it still holds weight. bleedingcool.com/movies/the-p...

I ran into a neighbor I kind of know while doing laundry & asked if he uses the stairs [he is elderly], and he said yes. I told him how I fell and to be careful. He came back a little while later, knocked on my door, and said, "I just want to make sure you know about Advil." I do, indeed, thank you.

The Gorge works better as a strange romance than an action film. The actual monsters are far less interesting than the concept of two people forming a friendship through signs and binoculars. #TheGorge #AppleTV

The absolute roller coaster of emotions I went through, mostly in the DM's of @markseifert.bleedingcool.com who was so patient as I worked out how I felt about this movie on a tight deadline, was extensive. 2025 Marvel isn't off to the best start. #CaptainAmericanBraveNewWorld #Marvel
