After watching the Science Fair episode of Abbott Elementary, I would bet money that the writers’ room has read the Baby-Sitters Club CLASSIC “Little Miss Stoneybrook…and Dawn”, which pleases me greatly.

An actor from two of my favorite films of the past couple years sat behind me at the theater tonight, and I dunno, it’s little bright spots like this that keep me going.

Just watched the new Abbott Elementary and I adored the LOLs as always, but the ending moment when Jacob said “it’s hard” and we just had to sit with that…damn. 💜

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

If you need a distraction (can’t imagine why!!!), I appear several times, discussing everything from ETA Hoffman’s The Nutcracker to Shakespeare’s Macbeth (with @lillahlawson.bsky.social) to Judy Blume’s Forever (which might be my personal favorite).
Compiled a list of FBOL episodes already recorded today and this isn't even a *complete* list (I've scrapped a few, both because of guest and subject), and we've done– get this– 151 shows.

If you want silly and wholesome 30-minute episodes, Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson’s show Detroiters is now on Netflix and I hope it never leaves.
I don’t know how I went this long in life before knowing about Mort Crim.

Heads up that Saturday Night is now on Netflix and I wish it had gotten more love and if you were EVER a theater kid it’s a must because the chaotic backstage energy is spot friggin’ ON.
Also Lamorne Morris basically walks away with the movie near the end & Dylan O’Brien rocks microscopic shorts.

I love my street because on Saturday night you can simultaneously hear a) church bells, b) “Pink Pony Club”, and c) that song I danced to as an eighth-grade cheerleader.
