I wonder if my grandparents’ relatives might’ve had a different outcome if they were all filming the atrocities in the 1920s and 30s in Germany & Poland. Wondering does not fill me with hope. I hate this fucking timeline.

Is Mayor Mamdani the only politician speaking out this day, this heartbreaking day?

Chuck, Hakeem, Newsom… crickets so far.

I really and truly hate this timeline
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Dude! WTF! There’s an ant inside my monitor. It’s inside.

I assumed in so tight I lost focus sorry but yes, there’s an ant in my monitor. I give up.

I got up to something over the holidays. It wasn’t all Heated Rivalry all the time.

I made new paintings and fell in love with a new technique.

All of these paintings are available. If one catches your eye, message me and we’ll talk details.

The second screen thing

I think I know why heated rivalry is ruining me for any other content. I can’t watch HR and do anything else. I can’t take my eyes off it.

I flippantly posted this New Year’s Day morning “happy heated rivalry rewatch day.”

READ THE REST…

May you have imperturbable peace and joy for no reason in this brand new year. That said…

Happy Heated Rivalry rewatch day

I’m gonna treat myself to my fourth (fifth?) go today. Something else will eventually grab my attention. So far, not so much.

A quiet detail & a charged pause. I came for the explicit sex and stayed for the way desire deepens, complicates itself, & matures — sometimes in a glance, sometimes in who moves closer first, sometimes in what’s understood w/o being said.

I loved the light blue linen shirt Shane wears in ep 6. On 3rd rewatch, I saw the same color shirt in ep 1.

But. Not identical. Ep 1 has collar buttons. 6 does not. 🤷🏻

But if 2 shirts, why exact same color? Am I really about to go check for buttonholes?

I’m not the target demo. I’m older, queer, and hard to move when it comes to mainstream romance. But this show pulled me in with explicit consent, dropped the misogynist gaze, and let vulnerability move both ways.

A new-to-me year-end ritual. 13 intentions written and crumpled, one a day for 12 days offered to the universe/the divine/the goddess as seeds to plant and grow for me, and on the 13th day the one that's left will be mine to take on.

I like this game!

I watched the new Knives Out.

Kept thinking I could be re-watching episode 4.
