The Golden Globes on CBS are displaying winner odds via Polymarket, a site that Trump Jr sits on the board for and should be illegal if we had laws anymore.

Just heard Joshua Henry’s read of “Sarah come down to me” for the first time and I gotta go take a walk around the block.

there is no reason for ICE to exist. immigrants aren’t doing anything wrong by trying to live and work and provide for their loved ones. I don’t care how people got here. if they want to be here that’s good. leave them alone.

Black women, maybe you weren’t planning on a wash/detangle/installation day, but let me tell you it’s an excellent day to log off, and rewatch a 24 episode season of television from pre-2015 while you do it.

Almost done with this sample for my proposal. Even if I can't sell this I'm v. proud of what I managed to get done over the past few weeks. I said I would finish this thing during second maternity leave, and while I'm not DONE-done, I do feel that I'll be sending this over for edits by MLK weekend.

Getting my car serviced across the street from a Capital One Cafe. They need until 5p at the latest to finish because they have to let my engine cool all the way down before starting. I am excited for the many thousands of words I will potentially write today.

For my last RT, there's no one making books about prison abolition and toll incarceration takes on families and children like @prisonculture.bsky.social. Please get all three of her picture books for your libraries.

2026 so far— paid off my private student loan this morning after 16 years in repayment, said “no, now’s not a good time to play with your penis” 55 times and counting, and now soaking in my first bath of the year.

Every day I'm altering my Nuclear Settings on the distraction blocker I use when I write. Even having physical copies of the Pleasant Company catalogue with me, I'm spending *so* much time on the Wayback Machine. Let's see how far I get today; two hours before I gotta ditch for therapy 👋🏾

I was in charge of minding Liza Minnelli one night. I promptly lost her when she escaped into the catacombs of the theatre we were in. She had the advantage of historical knowledge. Found her in an alley smoking a cigarette. She offered me one and I refused. It is, to this day, my no. 1 life regret.
Yours may not qualify as minor, but I now want this prompt re-launched with “tell your most EXTRA celebrity encounter” to get more like it.

24 mint condition issues of 1990s American Girl Magazine are on their way to my apartment. My husband will be thrilled.

We do not have a lot going on over here, so sometimes I just put a very good outfit on the baby then go to a crowded place and spend an hour or so collecting compliments.

In some sort of psychic agreement we all just left our 930am screening of The Testament of Ann Lee (a beautiful movie that I will never see again) in complete, contemplative silence.

I was organising our storage unit this weekend and was delighted to remember that I still have the 8th grade formal dress my mom made me. It's Mary Jane's red dress from the original Rami Spider-Man. It still fits because my mom *never* tailored anything properly so I wouldn't be "fast".

One of the tiny (and insignificant in comparison to *gestures broadly*) things that Trump has taken from me are the many conversations my mom and I used to have when the honorees were announced each year and long conversations about the ceremonies and tributes that week after Christmas.

I have like two more paragraphs to go before I finish the Proposal part of this Proposal. Then it's just one more sample to go, which are absolutely the easier thing to write. It's *so* close.

Thankful to the VF Karoline Leavitt photo for clearing up why white women are over lining their lips with dark pencil. It’s not just about copping beauty trends from Black and brown women. It’s the CONSEQUENCE of copping beauty trends from Black and brown women.

I stumbled into a Good Wife rewatch over the weekend. I’m enjoying myself and mourning deeply 20+ episode seasons of television. I’d forgotten how many of their perfect recurring weirdos are introduced in season one. They had the *time* for all of these people.

The guy taking my order at Raising Canes lost his mind over my Antiques Roadshow sweatshirt. That’s the win I am taking today.
