the reason they keep making zelda games is i haven't fixed ganondorf yet. i could fix him at any time and then he would stop doing all those rude things but i know how much you all like the games so i haven't fixed him yet. fixed ben affleck first. you're welcome!

I am so grateful for @MCRossIsNotAPun because I always wanted someone to grab me by the shoulder, press a mix tape into my hand, and smirk with the knowledge that they just forever altered a life.

beyonce asking the question "have you ever had fun like this": flirty, frisky, honestly a fair q beyonce asking the follow-up "have you ever had fun": much bigger question, a little mean, what are you implying beyonce

something we need to teach more about the ronald reagan administration is that he did not just allow but tacitly encouraged the proliferation of justin's peanut butter cups in the me community in order to finance the not me community

unendingly grateful to the dramatists guild for genuinely being the main reason LEWIS LOVES CLARK was able to get finished and revised from 2019-2022 through creative & financial support. even more grateful to whoever dug up the funniest possible headshot of me for this article

still thinking, days later, of the woman in a yurt at a williamsburg backyard party who kept avowing, unprompted, to the yurt at large, that being gay is "the most perfect form of misogyny," before throwing in that she works in crypto. that said, i am complicit (went in the yurt)

apropos of nothing, it is impossible for me to hear "everybody (backstreet's back)" without physically feeling grabby wet cement under my bare feet as i run madly around the Apple Valley Family Aquatic Center at sunset, fun dip clutched tight in my evil little hands

from '97-'00 max martin built a towering gothic cathedral of plastic as if trying to touch god. the minor keys, w/ occasional major like absolution; the choirs; the DRAMA—the word "millennium" originally meant "apocalypse," & he hastened one, w/ gogo bells

"i know what you are," i say to taron egerton in the darkest heart of the woods. "say it," he husks back. "say it out loud." "you're..." i inhale mist. i exhale fog. "you're a weird little guy."

a year ago this week i had a really good first date with a guy. the next day he left to live in the woods for 5 months. eventually i scribbled "JOHИ WICK DVDS" and "GB ᗺAKE OFF??¿" on a few propped up cardboard boxes & he lumbered back out. thank god. happy valentine's day bryan
