pardon my ignorance but i feel like i’ve never seen anyone stir fry a cutie before

The Substance (2024) scared me into loving my own body

@citiesbydiana.bsky.social PLEASE post your DITL tiktoks here😭 watching each one of them was truly an integral part of starting my day. you understand and portray every city’s niche so well (especially in california lol)

current obsession is the concept of #indianidol: let’s take a bunch of 15-25 year olds and make them sing songs from before their parents’ generation to appease the primarily elderly audience. but guys we’re still so hip bc one of our judges is a rapper who has self admitted that they cannot sing

i would drink more water if it was in the form of boba

mamma mia the musical but instead of abba, the soundtrack is the brat deluxe album version
