iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Tonight's midnight movie options are Carrie (1976), Clue (1985), and Jawbreaker (1999)—the theme, of course, being glamour's persistence in the face of death.

I made the amateur mistake of gushing about Madonna's new album to a group of self-serious theater connoisseurs last night, forgetting that that particular twain very rarely meets. I was served dessert last.

How seriously—how reverently—we deploy the clumsy flat-footedness of a "go-no-go decision."

Unless you’re a cute bartender who locks his wrists into invisible handcuffs, I’d prefer that you not make fun of my last name.

Tonight will be my first time seeing The Boys in the Band on the big screen, which is where I’m told Robert La Tourneaux’s performance really shines.

Attending a Hedda Lettuce-helmed screening of Joan Crawford's Strait-Jacket, which I know from @bcdreyer.social is a film about people who make grammatical errors.

I call for a return to the default capitalization of “Lesbian.” Indeed, I don’t believe I’ve ever met a mere “lesbian.”

My day (year? life?) has been made by meeting a retired woman named Babs who told me that she used to work in “the legitimate theater.”

I met Felice Picano a couple of times at the bookstore where I volunteer—I even helped him with an HDMI cable once. He asked me if I had any book recommendations and then called me “cheeky” when I recommended Like People in History. RIP.

To my TikTok refugees: 1) Hi! 2) I’m in the process of uploading the entire Trying British Foods series (including the UK trip) onto YouTube. 3) I’ll be continuing to build my YouTube channel regardless of what happens with TikTok, so please subscribe if you haven’t already. ❤️

I’m reading a fantastic new book on the production history of Mommie Dearest, which tells the story of this legendary quote and confirms that it is, indeed, real.

With the completion of In America, I've now read every book Susan Sontag ever published. In solidarity, I will not be providing an interpretation.
