They’re just doing whatever the hell they want, and I love it? #GoldenGlobes

We had our first, “I’m sorry. You’re on mute,” of the night.

Daniel Kaluuya was incredible in this. I did love this piece, however, about the ages of the actors in biopics like this: mashable.com/article/judas-…

WHAT IS GOING ON?!

That was funny. Eventually. It took a minute, but, yes. 🤣

“Thank you, and we look forward to a more inclusive future.”

They couldn’t announce any *actual* change now?

Should I watch Ted Lasso?

I’m kidding. You all tell me to do so all the time, and I’m sorry I haven’t.

Dan Levy, looking 💯. 💖

Their hair!

Um. Did Rosamund Pike just ... thank America’s broken legal system for making stories like “I Care a Lot” possible? 🥴

Yes, let’s cut off the mental health care shout out.

Minari note, if you somehow missed it: vulture.com/2020/12/minari…

JANE. What a career. What a life.

“Doing this simply means acknowledging what’s true.” - Jane Fonda, in discussing the importance of making sure there’s more inclusion and representation in the entertainment industry

Jodie Foster kissing her wife on national TV after winning the Golden Globe. And then, later, adding, “I love my wife. Thank you, Alex!”

BETH! 💖💖💖💖💖 Gonna go stare at my ceiling again, hoping to make sense of it all.

Chadwick Bozeman. His wife. 😭😭

“I don’t have his words.” - Taylor Simone Ledward, Chadwick Boseman’s wife, concluding her emotional speech accepting his Golden Globe on his behalf

Chloé Zhao, cheers-ing her best director win for Nomadland with a green mug on the Zoom is the most relatable moment of the night.

Hamilton losing to Borat is pure chaos energy. (I know, there’s logic to it; it’s just funny.)

Andra Day winning for The United States v. Billie Holiday is the second time in the past decade that a big award went to a performer portraying Billie Holiday. Audra McDonald won the Tony for Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill in 2014.

I was standing in Dupont Circle on Super Tuesday, waiting on a friend, when I read the NYT story about a lawyer who had a college-aged child in Manhattan. I called another friend, and was like, “So, we’re past containment, right?”

This weekend, a year ago, I was doing my “stock-up shopping” that really hit DC in the weeks that followed — mainly because I needed to stock up on a lot because I didn’t really spend much time at home during the day before all of this.

A friend told me to have enough for two weeks, in case I got sick and needed to stay home or if there was an outbreak in my area and I wanted to not need to go to the grocery store during that time.

At some point in the past 24 hours, I went from being happy for anyone getting the vaccine to wanting to see medical/occupational documentation explaining why any non-medical provider under 65 is posting about getting the vaccine.

I know it’s not healthy thinking for me, as I know there are many reasons why people are getting the vaccine under their jurisdiction’s policies and, regardless, it’s not any of my business, but that’s where I am at after a year of this — and I know I’m not alone.

I’d love to read something from the smart people who have been writing their way — and our way — through this pandemic about this! Tell me how to deal with these feelings in a compassionate way that will keep me sane!

It’s almost like people who were primarily attracted to the opposite sex used to hide their bisexuality. And it’s almost like identifying as trans is still dangerous for many people but much more acceptable in some groups, hence likely to result in higher identification.

There’s so much wrong with his thread that it’s really hard to know where to start. But, I’ll at least say that “hetero-appearing” is a completely inaccurate way of describing lives that he knows nothing about. It’s 1980s biphobia with a 2020s twist.

And that doesn’t even get to the full TERF-y anti-trans parts that follow.

Ted Cruz couldn’t possibly be flying to Cancun in the middle of this, could he? Like, truly?!

I mean, we’ll see, but there are a bunch of pictures being circulated — and there are several! — that sure look like him and tweets that claim that he took a flight to Cancun this evening. If anyone has a denial from Cruz’s office, please share!
