Oh sign me the fuck up.
Saw this and had to repost. <3 Credit to Marpal Embroidery for the work!
You made her very uncomfortable as well she should be.
This morning I dragged myself out of bed at 3:00 to head to the West End Bridge in hopes of capturing the moon over PPG Place and the Christmas tree at the Point in #Pittsburgh. Luckily the clouds stayed away for long enough to allow that to happen. Made for an amazing view.
Finally caught up with THE SUBSTANCE. Everyone told me it was mind bending body horror, but no in told me it was this decade’s SORRY TO BOTHER YOU. Biting, bitter satire built on a series of sad, core truths about our society. A freakishly good horror nightmare. It’s on MUBI and for rental in VOD.
Late to the #Maid party but wow that was raw and close to several aching bones. Ms Qualley is phenomenal in everything I’ve seen her in.
I bought the Magpie’s Lenormand for an ex friend. Since I now own it I started messing with it. It’s really growing on me.
The first pull I did is pure fire 🔥

we do not allow fascist shitbags to gain traction on this platform by engaging them, we block on sight and then they fuck off in defeat
Now that two dreadful men tried to kick the shit out of each other can we move on to more civilized topics?

You’re doing the best you can with what you have. Missing the protest isn’t going to make fascism rise faster. Be kind to yourself or else
Not genociding Burma is definitely cute.
To clarify I’m talking about the Black Cake book. The casting on the adaptation is great but t it’s lacking something. I watched half an hour and all the right ingredients don’t really add up to the richness of a black Cake. But I’m going to try to watch more.

Interacting with women only/WOC helmed creation lately, has opened up a world where a fog lifted. One where the main narrative is clear, coherent & relevant rather than the heterogeneous yt male lens that was so formative to me.
Must be some German word
I’ll believe it when I see it.
It’s learning, love
This place is like therapy.
Me every time a new person is announced on that man’s team.
Today, I translated four poems by Sophia Parnok, an out, horny Russian lesbian poet who lived and loved through a revolution, a civil war, and the rise of a repressive dictator. In style.

It’s a very different experience energetically. My nervous system can feel the difference. I just need to get all my friends aboard.
Whyyyyyy
