Kathy Cacace @kathycacace.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I know we’ve all learned so much about sulfates and shampoo since the 90s but sometimes I am gripped by the urge to buy one (1) enormous bottle of Herbal Essences and use two (2) full handfuls and just suds away.

Kathy Cacace @kathycacace.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I went to the Paranormal Activity stage adaptation tonight—it was fun, more like a haunted house than a play but a very tight and eerie two hours—and Patti Lupone was in the audience and zero chills were gonna match that thrill, let me tell you. 001
Kathy Cacace @kathycacace.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It feels apt that the Mets season comes to a close with a 74-88 record approximately 16 hours into my nor’easter migraine that Just! Won’t! Quit!

Kathy Cacace @kathycacace.bsky.social · 18/09/2026This was really scary, and to happen during such a special season for Young is horrendous. I hope he’s okay. 050
Kathy Cacace @kathycacace.bsky.social · 14/09/2026This is a crazy fact and now I am hoping TOO hard because I am at the game, so if they both go 0-4, that’s on me! 000

Kathy Cacace @kathycacace.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Things I was frightened of as a child: 1. The test of the emergency alert system 2.

Anything medical 010
Kathy Cacace @kathycacace.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I won’t remember this Mets season for much, except for that it was the year my brain unstoppably sang most things Marcus Semien did to the tune of Rusted Root’s “Send Me On My Way.” Semien’s on third (He’s on third) Semien’s up next (He’s up next) 110
Kathy Cacace @kathycacace.bsky.social · 11/09/2026The very last 9/11 family member to read names at the ceremony (and on the broadcast) used his comment to ask Americans not to use the tragedy of his father’s death as an excuse to hate “our Muslim brothers and sisters,” and what a beautiful thing to do with your grief. 021
Kathy Cacace @kathycacace.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I remember feeling at the time stuck in a limbo between “am I watching something horrific?” and “is this happening to me?” And what I didn’t get then was that it was and would be happening to all of us, in vastly different degrees and shapes, with pain unevenly distributed here and around the world. 021
Kathy Cacace @kathycacace.bsky.social · 11/09/2026My dad was at the time a firefighter in the NYC suburbs and the cell phone networks were so overloaded, it took a few hours before I could call home to find out if he was there or not (he was not). I spent those hours trying to read the departments off firefighters’ jackets on the news. 120
Kathy Cacace @kathycacace.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Twenty-five years ago, I was a sophomore in college in Ohio who woke up for class to find a weird message on the college website about an attack in New York. I was still getting used to being away from my family, who are folks that don’t move far from each other. 110

Kathy Cacace @kathycacace.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Eat up The Odyssey with a spoon if you like. Love every minute of it! Or roll your eyes to the heavens and go home on the train chewing on every clunky line like a gummy bear! It is not more virtuous to do the former, and steals nothing from no one to do the latter. Popular culture is in the making! 030
Kathy Cacace @kathycacace.bsky.social · 30/07/2026And I’m not even talking about hatewatching or MST3K-style riffing—though I relish those oppositions, too. I mean that there is delight to be found in tangling with a text that rubs you the wrong way, and doing so does not reveal some dour streak in your heart or soul or senses. It’s fucking fun! 120
Kathy Cacace @kathycacace.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I feel like Wilson could is straight-up joyriding through her thoughts in that piece. She’s an opposing player hanging from Team Nolan’s rim. She is demonstrating how deeply ludic critical watching and thinking is, or at least can be. Hasn’t a bad film ever pumped your brain like a Super Soaker? 120
Kathy Cacace @kathycacace.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I’ve been thinking about the response to Emily Wilson’s review of Nolan’s Odyssey for days, and I think what’s bugging me is the idea that criticizing a film represents an inability to enjoy it—that it’s a kind of watching that is opposed to pleasure. And I don’t buy that for a second! 262

Kathy Cacace @kathycacace.bsky.social · 27/07/2026100% agree, and also, was struck by how Odysseus’s speech to Penelope about the Trojan Horse ending civilization was reminiscent of Oppenheimer. Now I am become death, destroyer of worlds. I think this is just a Nolan Guy, onto which he grafted a Greek epic. 041
Kathy Cacace @kathycacace.bsky.social · 08/07/2026I also think that the fan behavior that I’m talking about is different than the typical miserable Met crank, booing our own pitcher. These guys are predominantly white young men chanting USA and doing the Yankees roll call bit and the Atlanta “chop.” It’s not about the Mets, it’s about masculinity. 241
Kathy Cacace @kathycacace.bsky.social · 08/07/2026I HATE these guys, and there’s a bunch of them at every game I’ve been to this season. Tonight they worked the racist Atlanta chant and hand gesture into their repertoire! In fucking Queens! Just for fun! They are gaaaaaaarbage. 140
Kathy Cacace @kathycacace.bsky.social · 26/06/2026I have such fond feelings for Mendoza rooted in the magic back half of the 2024 season, and for that I will always be thankful. I don’t think making him our designated sin-eater for the season is going to turn it around, but I guess something’s gotta give? 031
