I watch movies and tell you my thoughts in writing and on podcasts. Cohost of the Danger Close podcast. For the love of humanity please be kind to one another. 🍅 person. They/Them

I booked my husband and I a banger of a Friday to start this weekend. We start off with You Can See Everything and then approximately 20 minutes later we see Ken Russell's The Devils. It's a great theater so there will be snacks, drinks, and pinball between the screenings.

the moderate democratic position on Gaza is that if Israel’s opponents do not comport themselves perfectly, if they don’t dance flawlessly through the rhetorical minefields every day, then it’s dead children forever.

The hype about #Wicker is very amusing but I do feel obligated to remind larger media outlets that the reason he is so hot is because he's an attentive and enthusiastic lover who prioritizes his partners happiness. And is also Alexander Skarsgard reproduced in wicker, in that order.

They say that going through menopause is as hormonally impactful as puberty. I am on the cusp of this experience and suddenly find myself listening to my angsty teen favorites. Cringing along to Stabbing Westward and Staind (first album only) while making dinner for the kids is kind of hilarious.

Things I and friends have done to calm an angry abusive man from further escalating and killing us or our children: -Smiled -Kept normal schedules in order not to trigger a fight -Appeased with kind acts (cooking, cleaning, favors) -Forced friendly tones and words

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

I am not a sports fan, but I have to say, the immediacy and intensity of Sumo is so addicting. Maybe its the ADHD, in that things that go on forever just aren't my thing but I love this.

"Let us sit in my cottage and enjoy some food and wine and take some joy in hearing how much pain each have suffered." Eumaeus describes hanging out in middle age to Odysseus on his return to Ithaca.

The inevitable outcome of this kind of BS is that any woman who can compete with a man isn't actually a woman. These fucking ghouls really love the idea that women are a monolith and that if you aren't a dainty, submissive, weak, conventionally attractive, simpering fool then you are not a woman.

1. After pushing anti-trans laws to ‘protect women’s sports’, Project 2025’s Heritage Foundation now wants women’s sports gone to ‘assist fertility.’ Turns out it was about women’s sports all along—if getting rid of women's sports counts, that is.

Reading #TheOdyssey before seeing it in theaters this weekend and I have some thoughts, none new observations I'm sure. I'm about halfway through. 1. Odysseus is the ultimate wife guy 2. Every dude but Poseidon wants Odysseus to marry his daughter 3. Athena is the real GOAT in all of this

I'm putting this out there because I feel like I need to. Existence really fucking sucks sometimes. It is painful, demanding, and so often a double edged sword. I mean you gotta do it because what else is there. But fuck.

Using contraception during marriage is STILL how people have consequence free sex! Being married doesn't make a difference. Contraception is what makes it possible for those who can carry a child to control their own lives. That makes people like this uncomfortable. The NYT continues to be awful.

Wow. And no. “I am not completely opposed to contraception. I think, though, that women in particular should behave as if contraception doesn’t exist… Maybe that’s my concrete proposal: that you should use contraception within marriage rather than as a means of seeming to have consequence-free sex.”
