a line from a movie that plays over and over in my head is Cate Blanchett as Queen Elizabeth saying "Am I to be made of stone? Must I be touched by nothing?" I think of it whenever someone tells me "that was not an appropriate time to laugh," which is a semi-regular occurrence

Psst.

Hey, come closer.

No, closer.

I have a New Year’s secret for you.

It’s this:

If you care about people you don’t even know, and try to live your life that way, you are absolutely beautiful no matter what you look like.

We don't need a New You in this New Year, we just need you. You in your fullness, you in all your messy beauty, you with all your creative joy and honest heartbreak. You. You are the only you we'll ever have, and we are not us without you.

As we move into Hate Yourself Publicly Season, I also wish for us a year in which we have the courage to value ourselves for who we are & not hate ourselves for who we're not, a year in which we listen not to those who line their pockets with our insecurities, but to voices of tenderness & respect.

whatever 2026 holds i don't think anything next year will be funnier than Chicago Pope. 2025 was overall a huge stinker but Chicago Pope was an all time great B-plot

Plot twist late in 2025: the silly gay hockey show was my show of the year. I did NOT expect to cry so much?? And the ESEA representation was also legit?? Those sweet boys 🥲 (and their awesome female friends)

The thing about representational politics (and I know, I KNOW there are so many nuances, shut up) is that it often skirts the value of representation in storytelling. Shane has a conversation with Rose that I’ve been waiting my whole life to see on-screen.
Why am I crying??????? This show!!!!!!!
I’m finally catching up with #HeatedRivalry. I’m excited and scared and a whore.

Quit the stressful job that was burning me out, found a less stressful job with a lovely team, managed a flat move without turning violent, completed the Arabic course on duolingo (still can't speak a single word), made an offer on a flat, was a support to friends getting through a tough year
Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.

Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.

Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

the ratio of church to people in City is 1/204. That's 1 church to every 204 people living within the area. Highest in England. very funny to me personally since it's also the main financial and legal district of London. maybe they NEED that ratio

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺
