It’s Christmas Eve and I’m in my childhood bedroom wrapping gifts listening to the sound of my mother’s kitchenaid mixer downstairs mix the yeast roll dough for Christmas dinner. This exact scenario has played out over and over and over…

I sometimes get so teary driving around my hometown. Everything changes and sometimes for the better and sometimes for not and never in ways I could have predicted, and yet here I am a living tower of memory, of what was, who passes through and keeps saying to herself “it didn’t used to be this way”

i don't think this is even a real statistical anomaly anymore. it seems like there's someone in the crowd at every mass shooting who has been through it before. this doesn't have to be our shared cultural experience.

I’m somehow on horse treat TikTok, meaning, over the course of two days, I saw videos of horses eating treats, then slowly, horse owners taking bites of horse treats, and now I’m seeing videos of people who have nothing to do with horses order horse treats to their homes and eat them.

Keep thinking about how in Weapons Aunt Gladys looks like/is styled like a Warhol painting and Campbell’s soup was what she fed everyone. Warhol’s commentary on the mass reproduction of soup; something deeply cultural, medicinal, nourishing, suddenly condensed, impersonal, branded, corporate.

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

Elizabeth Taylor in an 80s press conference speaking on the stigma of AIDS “…And it so angered me that I finally thought to myself, Bitch, do something yourself.” from the documentary “Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes.”

Sinners was dope. I especially loved the soundscape flashback. A technique I hadn’t seen/experienced before. All the sound in general was incredible. Great to watch a film where sound emerges as the primary effect.

I’m having a hard time placing an essay with a more journalistic POV with first-person research. Not as memoir-y. Let me know if you know of any places looking for nonfiction like that.
