Watching a re-run of Barbie while I food-prep. It's still stunning that bare minimum male toxicity had to be pointed out. And, "She's not dead. She's just having an existential crisis" is one of the funniest movie lines ever. Heathers "fuck me gently with a chainsaw"-level funny.

Not sure who needs to know this, but I have ZERO interest in the new #VanderpumpRules. If ppl like it, I love it. But for ME, it’s a no.

The silver lining in the Hegseth debacle: there's an odd comfort in the predictability of a spineless d-bag actually being a spineless d-bag when push comes to shove.

Day 3: Whitney Houston | It's Not Right But It's Okay, from The My Love Is Your Love (1999)

The longevity this song had in gay clubs in the 00's should be studied.
