Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Current baby development: We have been playing jazz music on the sound machine when he wakes up and we still need to finish something before grabbing him. “Thank you for calling Mom & Dad Inc. Your request is important to us. Your estimated wait time is approximately 7 minutes.” 010
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I routinely get marketing emails from a "Jordan Person" but every single time I misread their name as Jordan Peterson and have just a split second heart attack going "WHAT? NO?!" 031
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Prior to having a baby, I could on a general level clock if a baby born on a tv show or movie was too big to be a true newborn. Now that I have a baby, it's WAY more comical to see an oversized newborn, like WHAT?! No way that eight month old was just born. That mom would be SPLIT IN TWO NO WAY. 040

Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Oh damn, the marketing campaign had me skeptical, but if Glen’s onboard I’ll give it a go!! 000
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Which is to all day, six months in and it’s getting better? Sometimes? Maybe? This is probably the thing I was least prepared for, and it’s apparently super normal!! I especially love that I had to go back to my job only after three months, with the most Swiss cheese brain mode. Love it here. 030
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Roughly six months into motherhood and I cannot stress enough, my brain is the equivalent of that SpongeBob episode where he forgot everything expect fine dining and breathing. Only for me it’s motherhood, and breathing. The amount of times in the earliest months I cried saying how dumb I felt 🫠 150
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 04/08/2026The extended version of the Hobbit really kicks it up a notch keeping in Meatball, what a character!! 041
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 04/08/2026This is all to say, I wish them well. From what limited information they shared I imagine it must be a hectic time, but I would be fully lying if this doesn't make my inner gossip rear up terribly. 031
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Oh no, the extremely niche lifestyle vlogger I follow is vague posting about a major and unexpected life update that surely is having a major impact to them and I keep fluctuating between weird parasocial thoughts, and mentally hitting myself with a water gun like "No! Bad! Let them LIVE!!" 150
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Currently having a freak allergic reaction to, by my guess some new hair product, and my eyes have swollen up to crazy levels. Imagine a human Mr. Meaty character, that’s where I’m at right now. 020
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Initial reaction: “oh that’s cheaper than I thought it would be!” The answer is still no. 490
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I forgot how “No homo” Achilles and Patroclus are in this. Every time they’re like “Yes my Cousin ™ whom I am close to and fond of.” 040
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 27/07/2026The initial plan was to watch another Chris Nolan film, but I chugged a watermelon gin thing and, well here we are. 140
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 27/07/2026@scottniswander.bsky.social is on a break from dadding to go see The Odyssey, so I’m doing the next best thing, watching Troy 😅 140

Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Let's give it up for reinterpretation and remixes!!!! Who needs the original, when the Greeks already gave us version...3,334,946,996,858,771,664,478,585? 110
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 23/07/2026The Greek mythology nerd in me is really thrilled at the strong reception of The Odyssey, and how we might get other large-scale retellings. However, the bananapants negative reactions are beyond insufferable and I am sure will only become more upsetting/bizarre as the myths get stranger themselves. 160
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Movie promoters trying to get me to excited for tentpole film by releasing the most bland trailer devoid of any plotline. Meanwhile, I pick out what movie I want to watch next by reading the plot summary from a Wikipedia article AS GOD INTENDED. 091

Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Really hate how my brain is like “oh you are having a slightly difficult time? Please lightly maim any minor imperfection on your face as a form of stress relief. That will 100% help.” 🫠 021
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 02/07/2026As a fellow Emily, 100% agree. LOVE being Em, or Emmy with folks I am close to. 100
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 29/06/2026The Bear season 5 slaps exclusively because of how frustrating and how much failure and rumination on failure proceeded it. This payoff doesn't work without constant fuck ups and repeating the same broken cycle until finally it clicks, despite it all. 010
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Lobo is for sure superfluous, but not ruinous if that makes sense? 130
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Also fuck off, “The Middle” needle drop is inspired and you all lack vision. I LIVED for that moment, yeeessss girlie pop 💅 000
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 28/06/2026I think the director not reading the comic is A CHOICE that I am still strongly side eying, but the movie itself I think in terms of the writing is still a strong debut for Kara. 100
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Are there things I wasn’t fond of? Sure. The Girl of Tomorrow comic being so great makes it nearly impossible not to have quibbles like “oh but they didn’t include that part…” or “they shouldn’t have changed this other thing…” but that doesn’t change that I enjoyed the movie. 100
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Supergirl review: I had fun, it’s an enjoyable movie! I want even more Supergirl, please. I want more female heroes in general, please. 120
Reposted by Emily PilatGlen Weldon @ghweldon.bsky.social · 27/06/2026If you’re declaring SUPERGIRL the end of superhero movies but let MORBIUS, VENOM 3, KRAVEN, THOR 4 and ANT-MAN 3 pass with a shrug, you are telling on yourself. 101017
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 26/06/2026I certainly have my own expectations for the film given that I really enjoyed Girl of Tomorrow, and am a DC fan, but I'm not totally sure how to feel about the teeth gnashing at this movie and it's prospects for the DCU widely given how many mediocre male heroes we have regularly accepted before. 040
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 26/06/2026I get that Supergirl is coming up in a time of superhero fatigue, a poorly received DCEU prior, and on the heels of an incredibly successful and well liked Superman adaptation, that's not an easy needle to thread by any means. 140
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 26/06/2026While I haven't seen Supergirl, I've seen the Discourse, and it reminds me how much it seems like female superhero films and media must be PERFECT to be liked. Idk, maybe its only an okay movie, but I've seen countless okay male hero flicks, and don't remember this much finger wagging. 140
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 17/06/2026On the whole thought, some of the commentary works for me (White Christian Nationalist rage), and it’s a total page turner as you want to know how the hell did all this happen? But at the end of the day the premise that got me interested in reading the book falls flat, which is too bad. 010
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Finished Yesteryear today and I keep bouncing back and forth on what I thought worked and what didn’t, and my biggest gripe right now is how I wish the 1800s time line was a lot more substantial? Like that should have fully leaned into some dark Little House on the Prairie nonsense. 110

Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Knowing baby was with Scott helps a lot, because Scott is a phenomenal dad. But also it makes me wish he had more support in terms of real paternity leave. We don’t give enough support to people with babies is what I’m saying. 061
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Whole mixed bag of emotions on this. I’m really happy and grateful for the time I had off, wish I had a fuckton more PAID time. Also felt nice to just to be an adult, and focus on tasks that are not dictated by a tiny human learning how to be alive was also refreshing. 161
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 03/05/2026I keep being like, who the hell developed and designed this thing to do this? Oops, it was me. I made this mess. 060
Emily Pilat @empilat.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Hey so it’s like actually incredibly sick and twisted evil that my baby acts the cutest possible when he is peak exhausted, and if I indulge in how cute he’s being he rapidly turns into a gremlin demon from hell who refuses to nap even though that’s all he needs to fix his attitude. 160
