May be TMI, but: the diarrhea-to-constipation pipeline (poopline?) is a helluva thing. Send good vibes; also, prunes maybe.
Sometimes you just want real life human beings to wear stupid anime wigs on your television screen and dress like they're Alan Cumming on The Traitors
I'll admit to a big soft spot for Netflix's live-action One Piece, and Season 2 amps up the scale with bigger budgets, bigger stakes, and an adventure of the week structure that let's our crew, well, feel like a crew.

GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA
federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step βdesigned for normiesβ kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL
tell everyone you know

Aww but you didn't get the Claire's piercing training video experience
btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
the hottest oscars discourse comes from me and kambole this friday afternoon, writing about a bunch of animated shorts that were eligible but, heartbreakingly, did not score nominations this year.
A great photographer (incidentally, director of the game-changing 1971 Blaxploitation film SHAFT as well); if I were in London I would visit this expo for sure.
theyre turning this woman into an advice animal meme for every lesbian & trans woman who knows about yuri and software/hardware online and it's devastating. the amount of jokes about emulation
my first roger ebert byline! talking about the images of women produced by Survivor and how they've changed over the last quarter-century
Was such a delight to edit this piece, and really glad Esther could join us at Ebert for Women Writers' Week.
Omw to sit with a friend for his top surgery consult - its a big, hard step for him but I'm sooo proud to see him get to finally have the appt he set a year and a half ago! π³οΈββ§οΈ

I know this is a silly complaint but I really wish streaming services would allow you to choose if you want to watch their ugly remasters or just the original shows with their original effects, like I want that 1960s beauty and ingenuity when Iβm watching Star Trek TOS, not cheap CG.

Still passing this around, as Im still struggling to make ends meet, although stability is starting to show and light is starting to appear at the end of the tunnel in no small part due to the friends and strangers help that has buoyed me along to this point. ππΏ

The Greatest Films of All Time (According to Trans People)!
I polled more than 40 transgender and non-binary filmmakers, film critics, and cinephiles to find out which films trans folks connected to most. Check it out below!
Huge shout out to Mattie for putting this together. Genuinely fascinating to see what ten films ended up topping the list, but I mostly adore the sheer variety of picks in the individual lists.
"It's an inoffensive, disposable trifle more focused on self/star power than the genre that shares its title,β writes @clintworthing.bsky.social about K-POPS!
I think it's very sweet that Anderson .Paak made a cute little movie about reconnecting with his son through K-pop. I just wish the resulting product, K-POPS!, felt a little less shaggy and disposable.
