Week two of Media Mayhem is here! Today we're talking MOVIES. I watched everything from Weapons to A Very Jonas Christmas Movie and so many random things in between. Find out how gay it was and what I thought of the films with little to no spoilers. valerieanne.substack.com/p/my-year-in...

Every few years when Stranger Things re-emerges, so does my obsession with Ingrid Michaelson's Stranger Songs.
It's also Hazbin O'Clock again! (Musicals are always in rotation.)

Want to see something depressing? Tell me how I've paid $90k in 20 years but have only actually paid down this loan $16k. Student loans are a scam.

Nine years ago today, my first post went up on Autostraddle! 🌈 674 articles later, I'm still flailing about gay TV (and other such nonsense) every week! (And that doesn't even count the TV team/shared bylines from before WordPress let us have multiple!)

Nine times out of ten, this is how you will find me 12 hours before I leave for a trip. Unpacked, unprepared, and with hair dye everywhere from the inside of my ear to the grout on my bathroom floor.

Accidentally forgot to use -ai in a Google search and the AI Overview answer is wrong. AI is rotting brains both because it's eroding the art of critical thinking but also because it's GIVING INCORRECT INFORMATION. (Thought I'd save time...Ended up doing the, admittedly easy, math myself instead.)

What's under that, you ask? Oh just the book report I did IN GRADE SCHOOL of a VC Andrews book. Includes phrases like "Janet got sick becsuse of the 'dancer's diet' her mother had put her on" and "Celine went mentally insane."

Can someone smarter than me either a) tell me why my laptop keeps restarting randomly and showing me this screen when I did not, in fact, install a new CPU or b) tell me how to most efficiently Google a solve, because all I get when I try are reddit threads from people building their own computers.
