A year since T-Shirt Swim Club came out and I keep getting messages about how it helped folks feel less alone as a fat person and let them laugh at some of the ~horrors~

Check out the book Roxane Gay called:
“As charming and funny as it is poignant and thoughtful."

You gotta watch Death by Lightning on Netflix - Nick Offerman as Chester A. Arthur is the greatest thing that has happened in the last decade.

Wicked for Good is one of the worst movies I've ever seen and I love musicals and really liked the first Wicked. Just a self-serious frown fest, almost zero levity, zero fun, the two new songs add nothing, Michelle Yeoh's miscasting is even more apparent in this one, Goldblum seems lost. Big bummer.

One of my favorite books. Just a fun fucking read.
The perfect gift for that special someone in your life who remembers Oliver Miller, the Selmon Brothers, Ford Rancheros, and Jars of Clay.

Every time "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" discourse pops up I feel like I missed a day of class.

It's impossible to say "pepitas" and not feel at least a little bit silly.
