Everyone’s having a normal one on the Cracker Barrel Facebook page THIS IS NOT WHAT CRACKER BARREL WAS TO BE ALL ABOUT

The new West Side Story is so good; Stephen Sondheim's passing was so gutting, but I can't imagine a better tribute to him than his first major work being made in a way that elevates how good it STILL is and gives it a super necessary contemporary context. Spielberg is Spielberg, but I am still shocked by the extent to which he pulled it off.

brb manifesting something Ariana DeBose would be a PERFECT Dot, pls

My daughter has recently joined the Beauty and the Beast hive, and watching it eight thousands times in the last week has confirmed that “Gaston” might be my favorite Disney song The rhyming tag conceit is genuinely sooooo much fun to sing

Quote tweet with celebrities you’ve been told you look like.

Honestly I don’t think I look particularly like anyone famous.

I still get this from time to time, and it’s honestly a little demeaning as a 33-year-old and maybe secretly what was the final straw in shaving my head lol

~*~*~* like a match you strike to in incinerate: a phantom of the opera fan fic*~*~*~*~

A/N: hi guys I don’t own phantom of the opera!! It belongs to ALW and France (where cheese comes from muahhahaha O_o ) anyway please R&R for the next chappy the opera dormitories were quiet accept for the breath that christine daae didn’t know she was holding on her chest. That night she was wearing her black nightgown and thong because she was feeling sad

I literally just got this flier after getting home from my walk. It’s an anti-choice PAC pretending to be a “both sides of abortion” group of that fucking LIES about the reality of late term abortion. I normally don’t do this, but I beg you to retweet that this is NONSENSE This is a new fucking weird tactic that anti-choice groups do, where they pretend to care about women who get abortions in the first trimester and create this false narrative that even THOSE sinners would be opposed to late-term abortion

Ok but when I think of “best” tv shows in my head, Nathan For You always lives there Especially after watching both Borats. They both are what I’ll loosely refer to as “expose” comedy, where they play characters who get people to get on camera under pretense of varying degrees of falseness

So it's the 20th anniversary of my dad's passing today. I don't do much personal writing, but I sat down and punched this out and it would mean the world if you read it.

angelinameehan.substack.com/p/the-ghost-wh… Halloween was dad’s favorite holiday by a mile, so it’s wild to me it was the day before that he was just like “mmmbye” 🎃 🤡

As someone who has been listening to a lot of Tchaikovsky lately, I love how Danny Elfman’s score to the 1989 Batman is just the Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty This is a compliment btw

I mean whoever is running the account is right but I had to

I’m 20 seconds into the new Borat and I hate that I’m already laughing For those wondering what the joke was, it was “NOT”. 😞

I know it’s Twitter after hours, but nothing makes me laugh more than seeing people with Ancient Greek/Renaissance art avatars eschewing fucked up beliefs about sexuality and gender. And they tell me my art history degree is worthless. It’s not to say that academia isn’t filled with regressive assholes or that older societies weren’t filled with all sorts of bigoted beliefs, but visual culture changes quickly

Not me thinking about this concept art for Belle again Who is SHE

It’s Monday and I’m paying $1200 for dental work. My laptop is also fucked 🙃🔫

Threading about the aggressive heteronormativity of Company being the point That it ends with “somebody” to crowd Bobby with love 🥺

Hair: conditioned It needs a trim so badly 😩

Just sitting outside and listening to “Something Just Broke” from Stephen Sondheim’s Assassins. I don’t think there has ever been a song that so eloquently described when any faith you had in the system shatters.

I remember when the 2004 revival happened, some people complaining it’s inclusion in the show detracted from everything else the show was saying, and the older I get, the more I disagree.

Overall, Americans took 9/11 terribly

now give me my blue checkmark Literally a country of hopped up angry white on steroids. Remember birtherism? Remembering the daily scrutiny of literally anything Muslim citizens and Muslims abroad did?? Remember movies that normalized hurting them?

Shit like today’s Bad Take is why I didn’t talk about being bisexual for a long time or even want to write about it. I’m married to a man and recognize that there is privilege in that, but also, most of my romantic experiences were with women and is a huge part of who I am. I am still very much attracted to women. My art, my writing, all of that is informed by it. My life experiences are incredibly informed by it.
