My local movie theater was hopping on Friday.  Easy way to spot people who don’t take it seriously.

Today was a gorgeous day in Chicago. Sunny, low 60's light wind. Perfect day for a bike ride. As I pedaled through the light holiday traffic, kinda just aimlessly roaming and minding my own beeswax...I found myself nearing the friendly confines of Wrigley Field. Today happened to be a game day. I got closer and the…

I still say this movie stole much of its edginess from Lord Love a Duck.

Oh dear lord this is a fun conversation. A few years back, one of my classes wanted to watch Mean Girls but someone said it was a bit harsh: I scoffed and told them that if they wanted harsh, and if they wanted the original Mean Girls, they needed to watch Heathers. So they decided to watch Heathers. I have not seen…

I asked my HR person yesterday about what workplace rules we’ll have for returning to the office and she said that there were some legal complications with requiring vaccines. She didn’t rule it out, but said that there would be more conversations before any new policy could be rolled out.

More than a year of not having to hear “Why so glum? Smile!” You bet I’m keeping my mask on!  (Plus all those other unknowns about covid etc.)

Getting my first COVID vaccine shot on Monday.  I’ll probably pass out in front of a CVS full of people because that’s what I do when I get shots.  Fun.  But it’s nice to see the (hopefully) end of this thing on the horizon.  That said, people are jumping the gun....I work at a University and they’re having in person…

Shelter Cat Update!

Equality is not a zero sum game.

The problem is is that there will always be men in power who will damn us with one hand and jerk off to us with the other. They will never admit that there are lots of trans women who get murdered every year because short-sighted men can’t handle the idea of being criticized for loving a trans woman, not that it’s the…

Asian women are their own fetish category, and given that he shot up Asian “massage” parlors I doubt that racism wasn’t a factor.

Just spent over an hour on the phone with my Korean mother, who was terrified to go out in public BEFORE the shootings last night... I’m done with humans, and the White community who STILL refuse to talk to their racist friends and family members and confront their racism.

Sweet! Congratulations! My dad has had a hard time getting an appointment while my mom (not old enough) and I are at the back of the line (I have a high enough BMI to cut the line, but it wouldn’t feel right). We're getting close to vaccinate the third group, which are adults at risk. I'm keeping an eye out to make…

Happy for your parents! I hope you get a place in line soon. In our county they saying the should have enough vaccine for all adults by May, so hoping I get mine soon after we have the supply.

I unexpectedly got the chance to get my first vaccine shot yesterday — a text from a friend 15 minutes after I woke up: “can you get to [town 20 miles across SoCal] in 30 minutes?!” God, I hope so, lol. Friday traffic gods, smile on meeeee!  I jumped in the car and barely knew what I was doing, the whole thing was…

What’s fucked up is I don’t think it’s that he didn’t expect to lose. I think it’s that he didn’t expect he’d have to win. He expected everyone, from judges to election bureaucrats to state legislatures - to pull whatever strings would be needed to just make him president and hand him the oval office.

Why are they so bad at this? Because they don’t have to be good when acquittal has already been determined. The less that they speak, the sooner they can get to the vote.

A) this is one of the worst kept secrets in Hollywood. Everyone knows who Joss is but everyone still wanted a paycheck. Everyone in the industry knew about Bill, Harvey, Kevin; we knew about them all. Our voices were ignored  

Fisher was also probably subject to far more aggressive NDA language about what he could and couldn’t say about his time on Justice League. The lack of details was probably due to fear of saying anything specific enough for WB and DC to take action against him. Carpenter’s specifics are much more personal and arguably…

Alan Rickman. God, he was such a beautiful actor.
