Way to go, LA28, you locked Angelenos out of a party taking place in our own backyard. Good column from @LorraineAli on the frustration so many of us felt over the city’s horrible local L.A. presale for the ’28 Olympics: latimes.com/california/sto…

@LA28 Would love to go but I’m priced out of everything. And what’s this I’m seeing about insane “service” fees? Sad when locals can’t afford to go to the games in their own city due to insane ticket costs and greedy fees.

I was somewhere far worse, my friend: LiveJournal

I did not think we’d be getting a new live version of “Untouched” by The Veronicas in 2026 but I’m grateful it happened

jokes on you @bridgerton I planned on crying all day today anyway

women long for kindness, morality, and goodness, and are capable of finding that inside a monster because they understand what it's like to be perceived and valued based only on what you look like

Shrinking, High Potential, Heated Rivalry, Love Story, and The Artful Dodger have some of the best soundtracks right now, and I need more producers to actually pay attention to their music department because an effective needle drop always [hits] hard and makes the show better.

Me watching Tara and Johnny broadcast the Olympics: “LOOK AT MY GOATS. ICONS OF THE SPORT.” Me watching Tara and Johnny play #TraitorsUS:

how i feel about fandoms every day

Not dropping the second half of Bridgerton for Valentine’s Day is Netflix’s biggest fumble. The girlies would have loved this for their galentine’s parties

“These edibles ain’t working!” *45 minutes later*

everyone i am going to replace chatgpt now. Ask me something and i will drink a gallon of water then give you an incorrect answer

I am one “breaking news” alert away from walking directly into the ocean

Shipping is not advocacy. Shipping is not political strategy. Shipping does not rely on canon. This is a hard thing to internalize for people that like to affix all aspects of their identity to how they are perceived digitally. But what you ship says nothing meaningful abt you.

Does everyone understand that Trump cut your healthcare so ICE could murder people in the streets?

Every single person out there recording these ICE shootings is a goddamn hero. Otherwise, we’d have to take DHS and Trump’s word for it—and all they do is lie to protect themselves.

we need to go back to old testament fandom days where everyone collectively treated people being parasocial and weird like pariahs instead of giving them attention, writing articles about them and giving them magazine spreads
