Admiral, we don’t know each other, but my heart goes out to you. Drink water, breathe, walk as much as you can, stretch, get your circulation going. I know it sounds obvious, but when you’ve got that level of stress and worry, it’s easy to forget to do these things.

Mental Iceberg, I wanna come over to your place. That sounds miles better than anything I’ve got going on.

Personally, I don’t enjoy gore or horror, but I do appreciate special effects makeup and the work and thought that goes into that type of makeup..

This is well-meant, with no insult or harshness implied, because you told us elder Jezzies that you need us.

Best, best wishes for your relocation! I’m back on the West Coast after a brief miserable tour of duty in Maryland to help my grandmother during her cancer diagnosis, surgery, convalescence and death. I couldn’t get back here quickly enough, even though I can’t afford to live here. My love for this place is firmly in…

You’re living my dream. I’d love to live in France. My mother taught me French as my first language and it’s still the language of my heart. I’ve lost a lot of my fluency, but none of my passion for it.

Thee Oh Sees just officially changed their name to Oh Sees this week! I have no idea why.

Ooh, I didn’t know Iron & Wine had another album coming out! Maybe now I’ll finally get to see him/them live on this go around.

Excellent list. May I humbly submit for inclusion the newly released Washed Out single? His upcoming album will be on a different label (Stones Throw) and his new sound has taken a dramatic, joyful turn towards that of classic house music.

You’ve pleased me mightily today with “effervescently scandalous.” I love it.

You’re making me giggle like an 8-year-old at the concept of a butt cake. A princess butt cake!

Yes! Seconded enthusiastically! Only that novel’s not really trashy, in the ways that these titles seem to be.

Please don’t give GOOP any ideas.

I’d rather watch Gaywatch than any of these new movies. Also, of course I have mad love for Katya, but Gods, I love Bob the Drag Queen so so much.

You’re all making me happy now, talking about Cronenberg. It’s an unfamiliar feeling for me these days!

My sister had Molly, which was a perfect fit for her personality. Molly grows up during WWII, and my sister had amazing conversations with our grandparents about what it was like to live during that time - the accessories that came with the doll became surprisingly deep conversation starters (for example, Molly came…

Can you name the bestie in question? Or is it a well-kept, Lynchian secret?

I love the synchronicity of MisfitToy pondering a story about a toy. Pleasingly meta, even if it was just accidental.

Well, *that’s* cool! Seriously! I’m just not a Chromatics fan. But I love that you’re repping for your friend.
