having a dog is great until she's sick and you have to take a photo of her poop while crouched directly outside of the local gay bar where everyone is watching you through the giant front window :)

i work from home alone all week but have gotten into the habit of meeting my partner for a movie on thursday afternoons, and then posting up at a bar with a book on fridays while all my friends slowly trickle in after work and it is honestly doing wonders for my mental health!! who knew

would also like to add that i love being "the dvd guy" where frequently my friends complain that a movie isn't streaming and i'm like "oh well i have it on dvd and i have an extra dvd player if you need to borrow that too"

netflix's A Different World might be good, idk, but it's the same central issue that i have with Bel-Air and The Wonder Years which is that black writers should get more chances to create our own original stories instead of more revivals/reimaginations/whatever!!

I am trying to wrap my mind around the fact that, for the most part, the only books-related posts that get real traction on Bluesky involve the shittiest, most rage-inducing garbage and people. This isn't true for film or music. It feels like there's a real void here, and I hate it.

crazy there's another full season of The Paper because i don't think i've met a single person who watched the first season and nearly every time i asked someone about it they were like, "there's a 2025 spinoff of The Office?"

the snapback in Hollywood to WHIIIIIIIIIIIITE white is so loud 😳 I swear, 10 years ago there were Black people at the Emmys! In numbers! And now that pan over the audience is RNC Convention Cream It is weird and jarring and shameful, if not at all surprising. Bodies back at WASP waif, too. smh

my personal problem with a bunch of comedies having shorter seasons is that the finales tend to take place around thanksgiving/christmas which feels so unnatural!! i generally dislike thanksgiving episodes so i should be rewarded with 14 more episodes after sitting through one
