Entertainment writer. Rescue dog mom. Obsessed with horror movies, but especially Scream. Bi, ADHD af, always dying my hair crazy colors. Probably trying to talk myself out of another tattoo.
There’s a special place in hell for people who order delivery in winter & force the driver to trudge through inches of snow on their un-shoveled property to drop it off, just to not tip.

You don’t think it’s a job worth tipping? Then do it yourself.

Breaking my own heart ordering myself this sweater featuring an embroidery of my late soulmate/familiar/dog/best friend Daisy. They nailed it. #pupsentials #adoptdontshop #petloss

I set up a monthly payment using my debit card. I had to cancel that card, so I got a new one. I forgot to update my payment method so the payment got declined that month. Then 10 days later, it came out of my bank account. And now they have my new card on file. Except I never gave it to them

I bought tickets to #Companion and to one of AMC’s #ScreamUnseen mystery screenings… which I’m now thinking will probably also be Companion?

I’m sure it’s probably fine that the three biggest social media platforms have screamed out their allegiance to a president.

wherever in your head you’ve stored that “the New York Times is trustworthy” neuron, apoptosis that shit
Good catch by @gizmodo.com on how the @nytimes.com cleaned up Marc Andreessen's conspiracy theory about Hillary Clinton secretly running the country while Trump was president. The entire interview is bonkers but this is especially cringy (& unethical for the times edit the meaning.)

Please, I’m begging you, stop subscribing to the NYT (and WaPo while you’re at it). They’re not dead but they’re worse than dead: they’re complicit. Newspapers owned by billionaires are nothing but propaganda. Find independent—more importantly local—journalists and support them.

god I cannot wait for this
You are NOT prepared for how BANANAS Oz Perkins’ THE MONKEY is. Leaning into the zanier parts of LONGLEGS, Oz feels at home with horror comedy: it’s like a blood-and-gore soaked Tarantino meets The Coen Brothers opus. Get excited —

You are gonna want to spank The Monkey.

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it.
This is the precedent.

This is a problem in media, too. Entertainment company executives who don’t watch movies or TV or read books. There are even book publishing execs who have no contact with their own products except as spreadsheet entries.
A lot of corporate decisions make more sense when you realize that many company leaders *just don't use their own product*. They have no idea of the actual experience and instead see it in the abstract, through metrics and spreadsheets. True not just for stores, but hardware and software too.

Just a heads up for peeps, if you bought a Neil Gaiman audiobook from Audible, they are allowing refunds for them with no questions asked and no matter how long ago you bought them. I don’t even have an active subscription and they gave me credits back for two titles purchased in 2020.

I think it’s very important for Republican women to know that Pete Hegseth’s accuser is a married mom and a highly respected Republican aide, who went to the police immediately after the assault. They still don’t believe her. Your fascism will not save you from their misogyny.

In case you find spreadsheets overwhelming but want to help some of the Black families of Eaton out.

Their last name stood out (we’re not related) and they are one of the many GFMs that could use support.
