modern life is rubbish.
Inside of me are two wolves, and they are both trying to get tickets at 10a for Robyn and Jimmy Eat World.

What in the world is going on with the sumo citrus marketing machine?

The PWHL and growth of women's hockey is so awesome to see. Loving Olympic women's hockey too.

Really wish my roller derby skills were translatable to hockey but the ankles said no.

I've trusted this man's work for more than 20 years. Of course I'm following over to substack (you should too if you care about music).

I'm watching season two of Twin Peaks for... research. And god I love it but I hate it.

Wait. Shane Hollander is a Gemini? Oh dear god.

Couldn’t be me… couldn’t be me…

given the current state of things, I’d like to talk about the this track in particular

Here's my reading stats from January. Also, I'm so sorry, but if you rate more than a handful of books PER YEAR as 5 star reads, you are full of shit and have no taste.

Happy to spend general strike day with our fav anti/capitalist king @jeffrosenstock.bsky.social in Chicago. These are the vibes I want tonight.

I love and appreciate everyone participating in the general strike tomorrow. I'm so happy there's some semblance of this happening.

Looking at a Chicago Restaurant Week Menu that has a vegan option (Yay!). Realizing it's the same amount of money for carrots and prunes on a bed of spinach as it is for lamb chops (WTF?) Get fucking real.

Also re: this season of Industry. HBO needs to stop pushing Mad Men as the next watch after the eps because NO SALLY DRAPER DONT DO THAT.
January 28, 2026 at 2:55 AM
Oh thank goodness there is a Netflix doc about the German digital payment company that this season of Industry is based in.

One of my favorite things about Unrivaled is how the players will link up and call a game if they aren't playing. Stud Budz helping call each others games? *chefs kiss*

Hearing light snores from a pet? Absolutely music to my ears.

Starting my day choosing violence aka watching the RHOSLC reunion part two.

Stoked to find out a friends' daughter in San Fran is selling the better (if you're vegan) bakery Girl Scout Cookies. ABC Bakery FTW. Holler if you need the link.

I love being vegan because it basically makes me a weird food scientist. Yes, of course I'm including chickpea juice into a recipe for pancakes.
January 15, 2026 at 8:36 PM
The amount of contempt and hatred the cast of RHOSLC openly has for Britani truly fuels me. I love that no one can stand her and neither can anyone watching.

"The PayPal of bukkake. That's good, write that down."

Thank god Industry is back.

Ugh. Catbird jewelry isn't what it used to be. I've had a bracelet clasp come undone and fall off and a silver chain break in the span of a week.

Not me cutting my little mental health walk short because I see the cops and a domestic happening live outside my apartment building. 👀👀👀

All Her Fault: Husbands/fathers are worthless and 16-year-olds who lose a baby will become increasingly unhinged.

Thank god I have new Robyn and a new season of Industry this month. January 2026 needed some bright spots.
