My mantra for today: “Eudora smelt it, Eudora dealt it.” (I was thinking of how much I love Eudora Welty’s name, and things evolved.)

Stumbled into a local page on Facebook and they were bitching about the number of Mexican restaurants in Lafayette. One woman was asking why Chi-Chi’s couldn’t come back instead.

Tearing up at otherwise funny production of A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream because when I was a teenager I saw Dead Poet’s Society eight times in the theater.

New superhero idea: Metaphoro, the man wielding the mighty power of figurative language!

My Roomba (Agnes Treacle) is so amazingly stupid, and my mom is absolutely charmed by it.

Turns out that all the hot dads in this city can be found watching community theater.

It might not be much at the moment but at the bottom of the Stonewall Monument site there's room to leave feedback. www.nps.gov/ston/index.htm Highly suggest leaving a message urging the acknowledgement of trans people and their contributions to our history and the reversal of their decision.

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out for help with my pug, Ladybug. She recently had serious medical expenses, and as a grad student getting my counseling degree, I’m struggling to cover them. Any donation, big or small, or a share of this post would mean a lot to us. gofund.me/b776457f

Gimme your top 5 Madonna songs! No order, no ties, don’t think too hard, we know it’s your top picks for today and that might change. Just go! Secret Garden Shanti / Ashtangi Borderline Deeper and Deeper How High

not that we didnt see it all coming but trot of 'libertarians' just LOVING the taste of authoritarian boot now is so dang funny. so much time spent arguing that they arent just closet republicans and just want freedom then zero to sixty licking every last bit from fascist heels and asking for more

My goal for 2025 is to disassociate and watch a bunch of silent movies, and it is kind of fascinating to see them try to work out genres in real time. So many movies about evil women destroying the lives of innocent rich guys for kicks! (We need to bring that one back.)

In our continued effort to get to know the members of our Bluesky community better, we’re curious…who are your five favourite FEMALE SINGERS/VOCALISTS of all time? Dusty Springfield Kirsty MacColl Dionne Warwick Mavis Staples Lesley Gore

Can we just put Musk into a permanent k-hole?

Just found out that a patron who just left is Izzy Stradlin’s mother.

There’s a special place in hell for self-evaluations

let's fucking go.

you mean the apartheid child molester...No! I cannot believe it!!!

One goal I have this year is not adding caveats to genuine expressions for fear of seeming corny or overly sentimental

Bill-coded characters.

Dad died today. The most upsetting part was that his eyes were open, and his eyes went white since he went into hospice. I’m currently at happy hour with all his friends. It’s been a bit surreal.

In spite of everything happening in my life and the world, I made it to my first Broadway show(s) this weekend. It was nice.

I had an art account on Instagram that I will be decommissioning, so I decided to make one here too. 🤷🏻 It’s not great, but it’s mine.

Me examining a new follower.

I’m in NYC in a taxi, and so far all the stories on the screen in front of me is, “Cops are good, actually!”

Anita Bryant lies in the bed she made. I'd rather focus on the activist who wielded the pie, who coined the phrase "gay pride", who fought to help queers escape Castro's Cuba, who passed from AIDS.

Why did I just have a dream that I was packing a dishwasher with turds? I justified it because supposedly it would make the dishwasher work better, and I was hiding it from my coworker, which was the only sensible part of the dream.

I feel like this same thing gets said about every post-Boomer generation. Which is kinda of ironic.

corn palace, mitchell, south dakota, 1995

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? Oh, hey! Lucky me!

So my dad is in hospice— it allows my parents to get things they need, like oxygen. I went over there for dinner tonight, and there was a moment where he either didn’t recognize who I was, or couldn’t remember my name. That was the first moment that I was like, Oh, we’re really near the end.

I just finished up at the gym, so naturally I have the urge to fuck up some yellow cake with buttercream frosting.

Had myself a stress dream about going on a coffee run for my staff.

Starting the new year right by tidying up and vacuuming my Craft Dungeon.

NYE 🍊🐖 reporting for duty.

I had a Geocities page that is just GONE. Which is unfortunate, because I’d like some of those pictures.

While watching Drag Race recaps, I have somehow ended up watching a very long commercial on YouTube featuring Oprah talking about the loneliness epidemic, and this all feels very pointed.
