Someone who shrieks a lot about TV and movies and books. A Leo, a Type 2 enneagram, an ambivert, and an ENFJ. She/her/herself.
Saw Wicked: For Good tonight, and I am dying at how the movie tries to keep a PG rating by having two of their leads sing a song that's explicitly about fucking ("As Long as You're Mine") from 30 feet away from each other while Elphaba puts on an additional sweater

Re The Long Walk: I want to know if Harkness' comments about the "commerciality" of some guy shitting in the road are in the original book, because that ABSOLUTELY feels like the director/screenwriter taking potshots at stupid conversations they've had with some studio executive or another

Seeing Jaws in IMAX: 1) is a 10/10 experience, such a good movie and such a great way to really appreciate it, 2) really cemented how much Quint's death scene gave me a phobia of Big Thing Gonna Eat Me

The most I’ve been read to filth recently: a young queer woman was talking about Tumblr and a friend who’s bisexual and I said “so admittedly I’m also a Tumblr bisexual…” and she immediately said “oh, I can tell.”

This year’s birthday was weird since, most years, people’s messages are like “Here’s to a brand new year!” And this time it’s like “We’re so proud of you for not having some sort of nervous collapse — statistically speaking, this year will PROBABLY be less personally disastrous”

I'm reading The Tale of the Body Thief for the first time and boy did I not anticipate how much of this book would be about Lestat remembering how to take a piss

Very vague #WeaponsMovie spoilers:
I saw an advanced screening of Weapons, and
1) it is immediately one of my favorite movies of 2025
2) it'd make a great double-feature with Bring Her Back

The differing levels of stakes on #TheGildedAge is always so funny to me.

Something fun for me about The Gilded Age is they keep shooting at Old Westbury Gardens (here it's standing in for the UK, last season it stood in for Newport), and while it does look appropriate for the setting, it's funny knowing that IRL it's down the road from a Benihana's

Started watching the V/H/S film series, and started off with the Raatma sequence, which is an immediate favorite. Decided to do a quick sketch of my favorite raatma, with the newscaster raatma into the camera after spitting raatma at her raatma. Hail raatma. #vhs94 #hailraatma

I am very curious what cultural historians will make out of a Broadway season with 3 major musicals about corpses
like I'm sure there's societal/psychological reasons for it but I need someone who's smarter than me to write about it #TonyAwards
