I fangirled a little when Mark Rylance walked into my divy bar. No one had any idea what I was on about & nobody else recognized him and it was like someone sent exactly the celeb only I would get stoked about.
He was super nice and I made him a tequila sour (with egg white).
I love his eyebrows!☺️

Everything but, like, emergency services should be closed for the week. Enforced idleness. And if you wanna see friends you have to get together at home (cuz cooks, servers and bartenders deserve it too.) Eat. Watch movies. Stay in bed. Whatever.

Anyone who thinks the trans panic is about protecting women hasn't been paying attention.
My insurance company just sent me a letter saying they will stop covering two of my prescriptions because they are ‘not medically necessary’. Which ones?
1. My testosterone, because I am not a man
2. My menopause meds for hot flashes because, after all, women should just deal with it.

I am begging everyone on here to read this new post by Bryan Johnson — the super rich tech guy who is now doing the “never die” protocol.
I need to talk about it with you all.

Feels like this is precisely the right level of famous to be.
LA supermarket, circa 1987. A disheveled little old man is in front of me in line. I recognize him as an actor in "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest." He sees me looking and hands me a photo business card showing him in his role in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."

Mostly good natured loon who’s read too many books and decided to roam around “solving” other people’s problems while inevitably making a mess of things. Sweet.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Me, talking about that toxic ex who nonetheless gave good foot rubs. 🐋
He was a pure manipulator; his brain, if he had ever had one, must have early oozed along into the muscles of his fingers.
