He finds comfort everywhere.

MTV’s Making the Video was everything to me back when. I loved this era of intimacy from artists. In all its edits, we still got to see some famously private folks have fun, be in their element, and just be a bit human! youtu.be/A28MPuNFMu8?...

This is so sad, a lot of those cars were only a few weeks away from exploding independently

they separated butterball into his component parts

For the record, I feel like this is just referential pop brilliance executed perfectly. youtu.be/Nd_M9A5xFlY?...

This Gaga album is giving me so much that I never expected to need from her. It’s so good.

Sorry y’all, I’m obsessed with this album. This video is 🔥! youtu.be/rwlFWWGaZ5Y?...

Wishing the happiest of birthdays to my incomparable husband @tracedthurman.bsky.social. I’m grateful every day that I get to wake up and experience life with you by my side. The boys and I love you the most, Trace. ♥️

Love hearing about others’ creative processes. Watching this one made me really happy today, and also because this song is gorgeous and the album is great. youtu.be/4JAmGSq7B8w?...

Revisiting this classic in memory of my dad.

Hey @nytimes.com, why the change in headline? Murdered trans man not getting enough clicks for you? Proof: archive.is/aLsoN

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

I've got to say, the guy who accidentally became the Director of the FBI does 100% look like the guy who accidentally becomes the Director of the FBI in a mid-2000s comedy about a guy who accidentally becomes the Director of the FBI

It’s always a delight to have the unofficial third co-host of the pod back on (love ya @thearidrew.bsky.social) and he brought with him a polarizing, (kinda) sexy fever dream of a text. Let’s talk Nocturnal Animals, y’all!

In my thirties, my dad got to celebrate with me as I married my husband and received my Ph.D. I know without a doubt that our last years together when we finally “got” each other were just as meaningful to him as they were to me. That’s all I could have asked for. Love you, Dad.

My 2nd Found Frights piece is up at @bloody-disgusting.com! This month, I’ve taken a look at director Aaron Irons’ Appalachian horror films CHEST and JEFFREY’S HELL, which recall some of my favorite found footage classics. Let me know your thoughts if you’ve had a chance to catch these!

For those who aren’t already aware, my BFF Primo the Alien is an insanely talented pop singer/songwriter/producer. You should check her out if you love slickly produced electropop with powerhouse vocals. Her new single “Get the Getty” is bonkers in the best way! open.spotify.com/track/133a6N...

I’m so sad this absolute banger flopped. I’m obvs not from the UK, but as a queer who finds Xtina’s “Dirrty” to be one of the best pop singles of all time, I loved the homage. Not sure what Louisa is up to these days, but she can absolutely blow and deserves success. youtu.be/VipdnXVcSWY?...

Look at this literal loaf.

It’s a Hole revisit tonight and I have to say that “I Think That I Would Die” is gonna be on repeat this next week bc the power that that has, the intelligence that that has, etc… And the last half of the studio version is so beautifully produced. 10/10. youtu.be/b78MmYo0n4M?...

So many.

HEART EYES IS IN THEATERS 2.7.25!!!!

Adding some joy to the timeline 😊

Finally beat Mario Sunshine at 100% on Switch!!! The euphoric satisfaction I feel right now is only second to getting my doctorate. I wish I was joking! 😂

For my end-of-year coverage at @bloody-disgusting.com I picked 10 overlooked, underrated, and less-known newer horrors that can be considered hidden gems of 2024. #HorrorSky

Highlighted a few of my favorite horror shorts from 2024 over at @bloody-disgusting.com! t.co/otGgZhanvq

“Aquamarine” and its music video are a fucking pop masterpiece moment. I’ll hear literally nothing else. She just gets it and I need more. youtu.be/Qt6YiVZLhG0?...

I didn't fully connect with #ISawTheTVGlow on a 1st watch, and there's still some things about it that mystify me, but this conversation helped put a lot more of the pieces into place. ENORMOUS thanks to @thearidrew.bsky.social and @realrobynadams.bsky.social for helping us navigate through this one

😂 I love this so much

Today on Patreon: We're hunkering down for a Saturday night viewing of The Pink Opaque in Jane Schoenbrun's I SAW THE TV GLOW! Tagging in for the conversation are former guests @realrobynadams.bsky.social and @thearidrew.bsky.social, who provide some much-needed musical expertise.

Come home, the kettle's whistling... In case it hasn't popped up on your feeds yet, I'm delighted to finally reveal that @horrorqueers.bsky.social dug me back up for another guest appearance, alongside the lovely @thearidrew.bsky.social, to talk I SAW THE TV GLOW on their Patreon! Listen below:

I realized after listening to the @horrorqueers.bsky.social Patron episode with @thearidrew.bsky.social and @realrobynadams.bsky.social on I Saw The TV Glow (one of my favorite podcast episodes this year BTW) that I vowed to watch it at least once more in 2024 and have yet to do so. And so... #NW:

Gracie Abrams killed this shit. One of my top 3 songs from this project just got a fantastic SNL performance. youtu.be/qVl0AuoWukM?...

When Trace is away, the boys will play! Come listen to @joelipsett.bsky.social talk #ScreamVI with @joshuatonks.bsky.social and my husband @thearidrew.bsky.social for 2 hours of fun over on the HQ Patreon!
