When I read it I kind of assumed (as an Italian American, which she is too), that she was talking to Italian Americans in particular.

I get this… My Italian grandparents couldn’t speak English yet when they named their first born son “Peter” after Peter Jennings because they were trying to learn from TV. That might make me feel weird, or sad, or whatever… but it was also a strategy they chose and could choose.

You’re welcome! I plan to read your other book eventually, and this conversation turned into a nice random reminder. :) have a good day!

That smiley face was my very weird way of saying exactly! Haha. PS Birding was really great!

This is also why I love the teens in my life so hard (although my youngest kid is about to leave the teen years), and seeing people’s pictures of earlier years of whatever age. I’m so glad people (generally) make it out of adolescence! It’s really often way too hard

I can’t even read horror right now because my life is too anxiety provoking (temporarily), BUT you know I’ve got my preorder in. This is obviously going to be awesome

Haha, thanks! That was my purse for most of that time period (I also had a larger one for days when I had to carry more). That thrift store fur coat was ummmm not a very good fur coat and my hair was very asymmetrical under that hat but I am very fond of teenage me. She got me here! ;)

Post you from a different era

Okay, sure… teenage Katie, maybe 1998 or 99.

The other issues are really cool too (maybe you’ve already seen them)

Katie Kaput @katiekaput.bsky.social · 15d

At this point no matter what I’m seeing there, I’m there forty minutes early if at all possible ;) I have seat preferences and if you’re a group of more than two people… you gotta be early! Luckily it’s fun to hang out and talk beforehand. And so nice to see movies with a real crowd.

I’m lucky to have so many great theaters here :) I’ll revisit your article after I see it :)

I tried to move from Portland after 15 years and went to Los Angeles for a couple years… six months in I was desperate to go back ;) so glad to have settled back in in Portland.

I had this on a vhs that I think I ordered from kill rock stars most likely. Thanks for sharing this clip

Can we maybe try and talk to Wachowskis into taking a crack at a Jem and the Holograms movie? The 2015 one tried to be “realistic,“ and that is ridiculous. Jem needs the Speed Racer treatment.

Nice picks for your MM shelf—Triangle especially is a favorite in my household

Oh also I did get to hold my grandbaby in NYC and that was beautiful and confusing and I want to do it again

At Camp Trans 99 I wore a camo vest every day (because it was the camo vest I wore every day the year I was 17) and wow does my youngest kid look way cooler than I did back then wearing it to orientation at art school. I’m really glad I saved it.

(Mostly)

Katie Kaput @katiekaput.bsky.social · Aug 21

I ordered! And now I get to find out if I’ve once again accidentally forgotten my previous preorder and preordered a second copy! Which at least solves the fights in my multiply trans family over who gets to read things first

I’m more motivated to do so than I’ve been in a decade or more. And I’m definitely very invested in supporting as many others getting their work out as I can.
