everybody wants to be joan didion, no one wants to deliver taut paragraphs of bone-dry self-reflection linked seamlessly to the larger cultural moment by the use of parallel structure

i haven't stopped thinking about the joke in The Naked Gun where pamela anderson says she went to college in Los Angeles, and liam neeson says "UCLA?" and pamela goes "i see it every day. i live here"

the thing about having your own blog or website is you can make some stupid graphics for it. no one is stopping you

something very 2012 about expressing any kind of feeling at all about overnight oats. MUSH MINDSET

i was never an overnight oats girl, even though i really wanted to be. cold oat slop never appealed. but then my sister told me overnight oats can be heated up in the microwave. and she was right. hot oat slop good

skipping to the kicker (football pun, yes, INTENDED) for those who fear the tapping of the hyperlink

There is finally a sense of fatigue about this attitude, not a moment too soon. I will be the first to promote millennialmaxxing, aka the embracing of the positive attributes of my generation…ooo is that the sound of “Paper Planes” wafting in? Finger guns up!!...but there are attributes we must let go of. The vaguebooking, the surface-level feminism, the performative misandry, the incessant banging of the nostalgia gong (truly we are the children of boomers). You can’t act like a pick me without possessing a single reason to get picked. You can’t call your album nothing but bangers* if you don’t know what a banger is. Brat at least knew this.

as a person of being born in 1989 experience, i couldn’t help but weigh in on new taylor and why a certain millennial vibe about it has been bugging me…

www.ienjoymusic.net/taylor-swift...

taylor swift's 'Showgirl' is a generational fumble (football pun INTENDED)

I am a middle-of-the-road millennial, and increasingly I catch myself having more and more “we used to drink from the hose” moments. We used to take group photos and make silly faces — it wasn’t cool ...

equal dick sizes? DEAL'S OFF

molly mary o'brien @missmollymary.bsky.social · 12d

"i can make deals with the devil because my dick's bigger" implies both the existence of the devil's dick, and the idea that deals can only be finalized with a known dick size imbalance
