Highly recommended! 🎭

I swear I'm paying attention, but was confused but the segue from Jimmy Awards to best featured actress in a musical. #Tonys

💔 Gavin mention, Tonys part 1

Win some : lose some. Brilliant Minds (which I was worried about) is renewed for S2! Doctor Odyssey, which I had not been concerned about, looks unlikely to return. Luckily (?) they speed-ran their plot and left it all with a season finale that could be a satisfying series finale.

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

Weird they're showing Swan Lake on Fox right now

O Lord, they fight! I will go call the watch.

What are your current Pump Up songs? Looking for some extra energy this morning on my commute. currently listening to The Giver.

I'm sorry, how did it get to be 2:22am? Yikes yikes yikes.

Apparently I've been on tumblr for 18 years? That's scary. I think it was mostly a name grab at first.

Doing tech support for an 80 year old who 1) hates tech 2) hates that they need support and 3) is of course a family member. Lord have mercy.

PSA: Shout! Studios has uploaded the feature-length documentary about #StarTrek: Deep Space Nine, What We Left Behind, to YouTube. Hurrah! youtu.be/3u3WwFMgy5A?...

After two weeks in 90 F Texas I am now attending a 60 F outdoor track meet. 🥶 At least it's not raining.

This is so rad

my most Gen X coded belief is that cities and the culture at large suffer profoundly for the near-complete death of alt-weeklies

On day 14 ish of a work trip (the one that has been happening then canceled then back on, etc.) The people are pretty great but we got bad news today. Some wrap-up still needed, expect to fly home on Sunday.

In 2014, Tisha Turk's Article on fan works and gifting appeared in #TWC15! Turk argued that "fandom's gift economy should be understood as involving a wide variety of gifts, a complex system of reciprocation, and the use of gifts as a sign of their reception." Read it here:

On May 18, 1980, Richard Lasher got up early to get some photos at Spirit Lake. Instead, he was forced to stop because of the massive, explosive Mount St. Helens eruption and captured this iconic photo with his own red Ford Pinto on the road. 🧪⚒️ #OTD www.hemmings.com/stories/mt-s...

I miss the days of "don't be evil."

slow burn, enemies to lovers, wlw

Saw Goddess last night. It was good and Amber Iman was amazing. First time seeing a show at the Public, A+ experience.
