I did not realize until recently that Twitter got rid of Moments, which is where I used to collect all my #ClaireTrek live-tweet threads, so this is going to be a wildly disorganized Thread of Threads

I would die for every single child in every single episode of “Abbott Elementary”
they are the Lord’s most precious angels and every one of them is funnier than 90% of most white male professional comedians
like this kid just said “Ice. Brrrr” and I had to hit pause because I was laughing so hard

was not expecting to cry at Mass this morning until Father Dave used his entire homily to forcefully repudiate the archbishop’s new transphobic school policies and was met with an instantaneous standing ovation from every single person in the room
Dad obviously could not have known this would happen when he picked the music a month ago, but HOO BOY singing “when violence seeks to destroy us, hold onto love/ when prejudice poses as freedom, hold onto love” immediately after that homily came like RIGHT FROM MY SOUL
he addressed how the archbishop’s document strategically cherry-picks “data” which oh-so-conveniently supports what he already believes, and I thought it was really deft how he approached the “AHHHH THEY’RE FORCING MEDICATION ON OUR BABIES” moral panic

my recurring annual internal conflict between the inarguable boost to my mental health, attention span, and creative productivity from giving up Twitter for Lent vs. the amount of "Star Trek" to tweet about
like i have a book to finish, but also i have a lot of thoughts about starships and an insatiable need for attention

it's a real conundrum
obviously the best compromise option is to hand the keys to alice again and let her take over, it was incredibly funny when she did that the last time and everyone loved the cat content

this advice column about a woman who tells her girlfriend she’s less attracted to her now that she has gained weight, and the response being basically “the problem is your fatphobia and not her body,” really got to me. brilliantly answered. I’m not sure I could have been as kind.
honestly think the girlfriend should break up with the letter writer because when the person you’re supposed to trust most is like “oh btw the thing you’re most insecure about? you’re right and it is all I see,” I truly do not believe that is a wound that can be repaired. ever.
the really enraging part is how OP seems to want moral credit as a fat ally for identifying as “body positive” and following fat activists on Instagram, making this a great reminder that you can’t be a trustworthy ally with your own internalized body hate left unresolved

what kind of plays are you watching where every character starts by introducing themselves by name to all the other characters???

that’s not a play, that’s a first day of work staff meeting
also obviously there are pronouns in Shakespeare because “he,” “she” and “they” are extremely common words it’s impossible to write clearly without, but most importantly, I’m offended at what she thinks a play is
also the way you know this person doesn’t know Shakespeare is that the funniest possible example she could have given would have been that there’s no faster way to ruin “Twelfth Night” than forcing everyone to disclose their pronouns up front

the play would be five minutes

that's how it feels to me too! it's like the real objection is to how the show centers Black children being supported and uplifted by caring Black adults, because it doesn't fit the usual TV stereotype of an inner-city school. which is deeply racist and also unspeakably cynical
there will always be cishet white people who find it "unrealistic" when anyone who doesn't look like them gets to be happy, but applying it to a sitcom as though REALISM is our barometer for successful comedy is kind of telling on yourself
also the episode in season 1 where everyone just donates their broken old shit instead of buying the new things from the wish list is - and I say this as someone with 20 years of fundraising experience - basically a documentary

so
