Emily, As Per My Email

Have we, as a society, complained loudly enough about how shifting Top Chef's air date from a Thursday to a MONDAY is a felony?

New episode! @xtinemakepeace.bsky.social & I give into our inner dancing queen supermodels with a double feature of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert & To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar. We used up all the characters on those titles. The Feminine Critique Pod!

would have been a banger move for Guinard & Fabri to bring out those robots one last time #FigureSkating

I love that you remember when even I didn't!

I wish Him had an actual ending, but I really loved the swing, and REALLY loved the style!

give me the character count and guidelines and it is DONE

Not sure if you knew, but the last few minutes of the podcast got cut off (it ended with Piper & Paul). Glad I can hear the rest here!

I've done my duty as a #FigureSkating fan by warning the non-figure skating normies in my life about just how many times they're going to hear the music to Ghost: The Musical, and by warning the non-musical theater nerds in my life that Ghost: The Musical is a thing that exists

Finally some light in a dark world!

Not to mention...

OSCAR NOMINATED UGLY STEPSISTER!!!

THE UGLY STEPSISTER JUST GOT AN OSCAR NOMINATION SO SUDDENLY THE WORLD IS OKAY

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

2025 was...a year. But we liked SOME stuff in it. @xtinemakepeace.bsky.social and I talk about it on the latest episode of The Feminine Critique, available wherever you listen to podcasts

Oil changes are more fun when you pretend you’re playing vehicular Atari Pitfall

Yesterday I hurt myself by talking with my hands. Like, I was doing what I do every day and talking and somehow smacked my chin with my fairly short fingernail when expressing something and it bled for an hour because I'm 43 years old and still figuring it all out

My company gave out vests and I laughed, and then it got cold and I put one on, and now every time I don't wear one my clavicle gets cold and this feels like the beginning of the end that I caused?

Things are awful in this country but here's a nice beacon of sparkle and power

My theory is that he went to a Long Island wedding, had a blast on the dance floor, and then went up to the DJ and said, "I'll take it, I'll take all of it!"

Nutcracker 3D is one of the most bonkers Christmas movies ever made.John Turturro plays a Bond-like villain who keeps a pet shark,then sings a song that ends with him electrocuting said pet shark just to show how evil he is.There's holocaust imagery and Shirley Henderson. Please, I beg, please watch

Excuse me, but I went to my gym at 5:30AM today. The fact that the pool is apparently still closed due to regulations and I hadn't packed a sports bra and therefore couldn't actually work out is beside the point.

Nice list! I think the only skater I MIGHT have expected that didn't make the cut was Yuka Sato, who seems like someone a lot of other skaters always reference and respect

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD?

sporty, obviously

I really enjoyed this episode! Not enough people talk about this movie. Or apparently listen to episodes about it?

Any complete under the radar evil children or doll movies I may have missed in my 16+ year as a blogger who spends most of her energy on evil children and dolls? Are any of these MEG3AN ripoffs on Tubi worth a watch?

Feels like all the skaters that are making a switch are changing the wrong program!

New episode with @culturalgutter.bsky.social! We tackle 2004's The Twelve Days of Christmas Eve starring Steven Weber, Molly Shannon, and aughts racism. Have a listen to The Feminine Critique wherever you do such podcasty things!

I FINALLY watched this after knowing it was such a decades-long blind spot. What a delight! Have you seen the '90s version directed, somehow, by Arnold?

Last Stocking Stuffer of the year is going to be #APickleballChristmas and my mind is blown because our leads hook up at the 45 minute mark. I was expecting uproar on the Cozy Cardigan Christmas message boards but apparently people are just mad that it's a poor depiction of pickleball
