Vague Wicked: For Good spoilers:
… what do you MEAN she wears a cardigan that looks like the pelt of Grizabella the Glamour Cat in THAT scene. WHAT DO YOU MEAN???
(I have not seen it yet. This does not diminish my hype. I’m just BAFFLED.)

Those “Your wedding but the bride loves _____” aisle walk inspo videos have gone too far and/or lost the plot because what do you mean my sister saw one and now is considering For Good for her wedding???
(I have convinced her to not do this.)

I played board games with probably my longest-known friend (we’ve been friends since we were… 5?) for ten hours straight yesterday and it was soul-healing but also I am USELESS today. I think I have a board game hangover.

Once again it is 5:30 AM and once again I have been scared into wakefulness, this time by a GIANT SPIDER IN MY SHOWER SPONGE.
I dumped half a thing of raid into the sponge. I’m doing so great.
(I am… rather arachnophobic.)

Home alone, finally maybe about to fall asleep, when my cat manages to use the litter box and clean her paws in a way that sounds exactly like someone knocking on my door at 5:30 AM, scaring me FULLY awake once again.
She’s so lucky she’s cute.

I’ve never watched Newsies before, somehow, so I’m doing so now and… is this Boy Annie? This feels like Boy Annie.

I’m a bit sick so I’m only checking social media every few hours and what that translates to today is every time I have opened this site I’ve seen the most inexplicable political posts I can imagine. The Mamdani and Trump posts actually made me go check my temperature to make sure I wasn’t feverish.

I hear he’s even going to require something called al-jabr in later grades. Horrifying.
Breaking News: Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is going to require all New York elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals.
The madrasa indoctrination is starting very early.

Part of me wants to go on a rant about what Trump’s tastes in musicals says about him and his deep insecurities/desire to be seen as high class and cultured by a specific NYC set all while TOTALLY missing the point of the actual shows.
The larger part of me refuses to think that much about him.

Seen a lot of people calling the Steam Machine the GabeCube, as is right and good, but there is another missed opportunity name: The Black Box.

Saw a Broadway show tonight and I feel alive again.
(It was Maybe Happy Ending and I WILL be thinking of this show for days and spontaneously crying over it. (Complimentary.))

This has been on my mind all evening. The Senate vote does not end the shutdown, but it DOES force the House into session to do THEIR vote... which means that waiting reps can be seated, which means that needed vote is seated.
The ONLY way this "deal" (taken with several grains of salt) ends the shutdown is if it's identical to the house version.
The alleged "cave" by the GOP staff regurgitators at Axios is nowhere close to the house bill.
Which means it forces Johnson to convene the house to vote on it.

On the one hand, I’m upset I’m about to miss one of my oldest friend’s wedding because of political BS. On the OTHER hand, the person getting married is my One Republican Friend*, so it kinda serves him right.
*He’s like a brother, he did an aliyah at my Bat Mitzvah, we’re baffled, too.

This isn't the point at ALL of this, but this is the first time I've realized VA has both a Prince and a King William county.
Why. Why did we do that one, guys. (But great work voting, VA!)

I used to work for Feeding America.
Another bonus to donating money is they can buy things they can’t have donated, like milk.

Find your local food bank here.
Donating food is great, but donating money is better if you can. That way they can purchase in bulk (cheaper that way), buy what is most needed, and save time sorting/ inspecting.

Re-reading the Protector of the Small quartet because it’s the kind of comfort read I need right now and there are so many moments that have made me tear up in a way they never would have before, or moments that hit with more force because of what they are.
