honestly shocked that all of the oscar nominees for best picture came out just last year

It’s so funny, there’s a long social media tradition going back 25 years of making a big deal about how you were going to quit, and then only being gone for like half a day.

I need to figure out the middle ground between “plan every day down to the minute” and “just vibe” bc I need to be productive but I foresee that the obsessive planning isn’t a forever solution

I want to thank Elon Musk for attacking Wikipedia for being a part of the internet he can't currently control. It reminded me to donate to support Wikipedia, the best remaining thing about the internet. You can donate here: donate.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?...

We did it, everyone. We made it to the shortest day of the year. From here on in, we reclaim the sun. WE WIN.

The objectively correct release schedule for Wicked part 2 is to have the Thanksgiving wide release and for Christmas, instead of a sing-along, to re-release part 1 in theatres as a double feature.

I found a gold-rimmed photograph of my 101 year-old Mom, taken when she was only 10. And I also found a gold-rimmed clock. So I hung them next to each other.

We say clocks measure time, but I’ve never seen a thing that doesn’t measure time, one way or another.

Excellent timing for me (someone who just got around to posting about the performances I’m doing this weekend)

Still getting used to this app. I just almost replied to the Onion “dairy free caesar dressing” because I forgot I was not in my browser and absently clicked the bottom bar. I can’t believe I’ve already reached the grandmas using facebook stage, absolutely devastating

This is my goblin princess. Her name is Cosette and she’s a problem and I love her

The beauty of an empty profile. Like a field of new snow. It would be a shame to leave some footprints in the form of words……. oh dear, it’s too late now. But a trail of footprints through the snow creates a path! And maybe it will lead somewhere good. We’ll see.
