Update: I’m on episode 5, and I’m convinced this is the darkest show on television. If you want to be truly disturbed about the state of humanity (men in particular) then this is the show for you.

Feeling overwhelmed and upset about the state of the world so I’m reorienting myself to what’s really important: the new season of Temptation Island

French Girl Chic (Chris L. Terry) The perfect shoes were finally on sale. He ordered them while standing over his bathroom sink. In the time it took the shoes to arrive, a windowpane popped from a decaying frame, one cabinet knob d…

I feel absolutely honored to share some artistic space with Chris Terry in this latest piece on @rejectionlit.bsky.social. Check out some excellent fiction (and a cool photo by yours truly) here: rejection-letters.com/2025/02/03/f...

What is the name for these mirrors in hotel bathrooms that illuminate every pore and hair on your face and how can we get them outlawed in all 50 states

At least the people who stole my credit cards and had a shopping spree at Target, Starbucks, and the liquor store left my license and insurance card. Super considerate of them honestly.

we’re at the point where “go birds” can be used in any context, as any part of speech, in any sentence.

Examples:
At a work meeting: “let’s circle back to that later, go birds”

At the coffee shop: “good morning go birds, can I get a drip coffee?”

Texting mom: “love you too, go birds”

Set a goal this year to get 100 rejections. Didn’t reach the goal, but I did get a new job, publish a couple pieces, and make headway in my novel publication journey. Reflecting on how reframing expectations can take the pressure off and free up space to achieve the desired outcome. HNY, friends!

Discovered our family Christmas card from 2000, which I apparently designed. Can’t decide if “I try very hard at everything” is a humble brag or a self own or a…threat? Regardless, still true.

Love Hard: a rewatch, but dare I say my favorite holiday romcom…? I may be biased (I watched this movie the first time with my Filipino dad, who triumphantly yelled “the Asian guy!!” when Jimmy Yang got the girl at the end.) Personal bias aside, this movie is objectively good & funny. Rating: 10/10

The Happiest Season: not a new one, but I rewatched this year and omg!! One of the best, most underrated holiday rom coms of all time! Kristen Stewart! Aubrey Plaza! Alison Brie! Dan Levy! A queer love story!! It has it alllllll. Rating: 9/10

Meet Me Next Christmas: Christina Milian was great! The premise was cute! It was almost charming enough to get past the implausibility of the movie’s central conflict being that tickets to a Pentatonix concert were sold out. No offense to Pentatonix but…come on. Rating: 8/10

The Merry Gentleman: Truly unwatchable. I thought it was going to be fun and sexy like Magic Mike, but I felt physically uncomfortable watching Chad Michael Murray dance shirtless. Not even the blooper reel at the end was natural or funny. Rating: 2/10

Our Little Secret: Might be the millennial in me, but I will always find Lindsay Lohan charming despite the fact that she has 0 romantic chemistry with anyone, including Ian Harding. Classic ridiculous romcom premise. Great (but underutilized) supporting actors. Bring me more LiLo!! Rating: 7.5/10

Hot Frosty: I could suspend disbelief about a hot snowman coming to life. I could look past the middle aged women characters who were borderline sexually harassing the hot snowman. I COULD NOT get behind the romantic leads’ mother/toddler relationship. It was chilling (no pun intended) Ranking: 6/10

Oh yeah I’m fine I just remembered a poem I wrote for a college workshop and briefly died of embarrassment but don’t worry I’ll be back to normal soon

sad to leave twitter when I had finally gained some traction with the sex bot community 🫤 hoping to cultivate such a devoted following here as well 🙏🏼
