SO. I finally found time to go see Nolan's The Odyssey and my thoughts are thus: (1) that movie absolutely fucked, visually, and for about 95% of the runtime (2) I literally said out loud into the theater, "Christopher, come on," at the ending and (c) Matt Damon should have hit Edward Cullen more.

I just watched an Adam Conover video that closed by quoting the Pope’s encyclical, which is a sentence that makes me feel insane to type.

So I’m watching season 12 of Alone and keep getting served this ad for Simpson’s themed online Monopoly and it appears to imply that Mr Monopoly and Smithers run away together after Mr Burns is bankrupted.

Sometimes I see people have bookmarked one of my fan fics with notes that make me want to send them to bed like a maiden aunt. What do you mean you have some sort of medical school final in 3 hours and you're reading Haikyuu omegaverse? GO TO BED. EAT SOME PROTEIN BEFORE THE EXAM. LOVE YOURSELF.

If I could time travel, I would go back to 11 year old me, eyeballing a wide-ruled notebook considering handwriting her first self-insert X-Files fanfic, and tell her if that if she does this, then one day in the future, she will find herself READING THE FUCKING BOOK OF ENOCH on a Tuesday night.

For reasons that don’t bear current discussion I’m in one of those start up coworking spaces today and these so called “phone booth” meeting vacuum chambers are in NO WAY soundproof. Great insider trading tools.

Does threatening the Mets with writing baseball yaoi about a NYC team with blue and orange colors make their season better or (somehow) worse is something I have been thinking about a lot with the popularity of Heated Rivalry.

There’s honestly no more filthy read than your Kindle ebook recommendations. Like fuck off I already own Wellington’s Spies and I am not depressed enough to read something titled Scattering His Virgin Bloom (yet).

I desperately need the U.S. to unfuck its government because it’s critical to my personality to be an incredibly annoying American and I can’t do that with this current administration like the doing the eagle scream is just not the same you know?

This is incredible. My dad just admitted, after I confessed I was on page 300+ of a writing project, that he thought I'd just given it up after high school and assumed that the millions of hours I'd spent glued to my laptop were me watching cooking videos.

I would go back in time and hit myself for honing in on writing fan fic as my hobby but the alternative was literal studio art so this is probably on balance the less terrible option. Should have gotten into drugs younger. :(

Fun fact: if you are writing lady Captain America fan fiction on a 2015 MacBook Air using Pages, and your story is now 312 single spaced pages long, your computer will start lagging AS YOU TYPE.

FINALLY secured the bag (a CD player) off of Facebook Marketplace and the first thing I am blasting in my house, deranged from 7 consecutive 12+ hr days at work, is a mix CD from a boy who used to run the college radio station. And the second song on is “The Ice of Boston” ……..

Music just shuffled to "Head Over Feet" by the inimitable Alanis Morissette and I just got punched backward through time to being 17 and being the kind of devastatingly in love that you can only be before you know any better. I met this man in detention and he was wearing a spiked dog collar. 🥰

College journalists are absolutely unhinged and I love them. It was where I actually learned to be a reporter, to have total disregard for ego, and to have a healthy lack of interest in my own personal safety 💖

"The author is dead" is to protect YOU. If I started showing up everywhere people were talking about my fics you would NOT enjoy it I would be SO annoying. No I did not mean any of those beautiful things you read into the prose I was trying to make a dick jokes and it didn't land :(

There's a reason that "getting hit with the 'pls fx'" is a joke that sadly resonates with many finance people.

I'm watching a bunch of interviews with Bart Ehrman about the historical basis for whether early Christianity had a conception of hell (because Jesus would not have) and in 3 hours I have to go talk to a woman about how I am still bad at periods. That's how my day is going.

As a NoVa resident: it’s true. I deeply, deeply and genuinely hate you and hope you reap nothing but the vile suffering you sow. 💙 I also hope your commute forces you onto the GW Parkway during driving rain and that the mixing bowl shits your life every single day.
