This is every bit as fragile, judgmental, and hostile as anything anyone said in the Globe piece!

Screenshot of text:

Patrons were required to wear KN95 or better masks, the face coverings ubiquitous during the heights of Covid-19, and which most of the country had left long ago to dental hygienists and [Highlighting begins] people who don’t want anyone to sit next to them on the train. [Highlighting ends]

This is a very thoughtful piece of what I’ve been trying to get at in my writing on pregnancy in genre fiction (Link under). Pregnancy is often written about as this beautiful state of possibility, but it is also more of an abstraction than is usually expressed.

My kid wanted to play hide and seek, which was new. I closed my eyes and counted to three, as instructed, and when I opened them he smacked me in the tit.

Liz Phair announced she tracked down and murdered a lantern fly before launching into “Why Can’t I” tonight. Lemme tell ya, I have a lot of gen-x affectations but I’m a millennial by birth and I am not above that song.

I think there’s a lot more to say here but I’m really happy with what I got started. Also I just want people to watch Meriwether’s shows.

Now hearing word that Captain Geech And The Shrimp Shack Shooters have pulled out of the Ed Sheeran tour.

In a still from That Thing You Do, The Wonders are dressed as sailors in order to play Captain Geech And The Shrimp Shack Shooters in the fictional beach movie Weekend At Party Pier. Jimmy is _not_ into it.

It’s webcomics week in my Graphic Lit class and I’m so tickled how many of my undergrads chose to present on Haus of Decline off the list I gave to them to look at.

I feel like the distain I’ve seen for Choosin’ Texas comes from the name ringing of “take me to God’s country” but it’s a solid jam and not about all that at all.

As overused as iconic is now that’s what Dolly was. Her death is a hole in the world and her memory is a blessing.

Only issue with Sterling Point, a great show, is that it’s so committed to making both of the love-boys decent (admirable goal!) they’ve lost the tension necessary to make them represent life paths for the protagonist, which is what points in a love triangle should be. Let teens be problematic!

Why do movies look like that now?

Cinematographers, colorists, and camera ops explain how shifting technologies and business expectations are making movies look like that.

My mom was supposed to head out there last week for a long stay (she’s from Gary) and had no idea how bad it was there until I found out from a friend who also has family there. It’s terrible.

One hill I’ll die on is that underwire is way more comfy in the heat if you have any chest. No feeling worse than collecting sweat in a thick-ass band and your skin getting rashier by the day. You need stretch lace and minimal contact!

I don’t need kissing from my x-files but I do need to always be wondering if it’s about to happen/knowing that they’re so in love, so the removal of any personal story is… a different horror show that I don’t need to check out.

Rewatched The Odyssey, and as someone semi-frequently praised for her dialogue, I strongly disagree the dialogue in this movie is bad. It rarely goes beyond functional, but it doesn’t need to be more than that. A richly poetic script would throw off the film’s equilibrium.
