Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

The second season of Culinary Class Wars went up on Netflix. I love Korean reality competition shows and the first season of this was incredible. I've only watched the first episode but it ended with me shouting at the TV so if you want a fun holiday watch. There it is.

After explaining the plot of the most recent BL I'm reading to Jamie he said, "Are you going to be arrested for reading that? Is that even legal?"
It might be even crazier than Mr. A's Farm. Or the snake spirit one. Or the dad one(s).

This is so messed up and so opposite to how Disney operates I didn't think it was true. But it is! What a fucking dark and wild ride we're on.

If you do good things just to be smug about it, who cares? You shovel your sidewalk AND your neighbours' just to show that cunt Wanda you're better than her? That's FINE. You're still doing a good thing, no one can see the inside of your brain, babe.

Every year since 2009 I have gotten an email from a man I don't know that sends Christmas and New Year's best wishes from him and his wife. It includes their mobile numbers and a link to his photo calendar for the next year. It's become a weirdly nice annual tradition. Thanks, Tony.

Round and Round (2023) This is one of the best Christmas (though it's actually Hanukkah) movies I've ever watched. It's charming, emotional, funny, and fun. Watch it! I loved it.

I was so lucky to have really fantastic sex ed from a great teacher in grade 4. But talking to my niece and friends with kids, they don't get any sex ed these days. So Scarleteen is important!
Sex ed is a notoriously underpaid field. Many sex educators work multiple jobs and don’t have access to employee health benefits. We're raising $40,000 to provide healthcare for our staff and volunteers so we can focus on what we do best: Supporting young people. www.classy.org/campaign/scarl...

The incredible, indomitable, inspirational Alice Wong has left us.
I'm so grateful to have known her on social media, and so grateful for all the words she shared with us and all the actions she encouraged us into making.
May we live up to her example.
(so you don't have to go to Instagram)

This is one of the most recent things Alice did. It was, as ever, a clear, trenchant, messy, and powerful exploration of not just her own experiences but also society's expectations around disability.

Christmas Above the Clouds (2025) A retelling of A Christmas Carol, predictable and over the top. But because of the story there's plenty of Christmas magic, even if it's kinda dumb. However. Tyler Hynes. King of the Horny Kiss. So horny. A national treasure.
