β€œReminding me that nobody runs faster than time

β€œIt's heartbreaking and reassuring.”

This album is a such gift during this a absolutely terrible Q1 of 2026

A week later and we’re still spinning this album. The way these lyrics resonate and stick in my mind, these melancholy bops are still popping

I performed a portion of the β€œback to school again” opening number as part of a back to school assembly in middle school. The film lives in my lore.

Decline in remote jobs risks shutting disabled people out of work, study finds Research project warns fall in homeworking roles could undermine efforts to reduce unemployment

Many disabled and chronically ill people are demonized for not working full-time jobs, when the truth is they can be forced out due to inaccessible policies. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

Thought I’d listen through once, but something about the lyrics and the storytelling really hooked me + surprise Blink-182 interpolationβ€”I’ve listened through at least three times

That she picked a Dude Ranch song rather than an Enema of the State song, well, I tip my hat to her.

Has anybody read Audition?

N.Y.C. Officials Reinstate Pride Flag at Stonewall After Federal Removal

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

Catherine O’Hara passes during one of her most beloved character’s favorite seasons. There’s so much more to say about this incredible talent who made us laugh, cry, and feel all the things with her many endlessly rewatchable performances.

Alex Pretti was a 37 year old ICU nurse who put his body between ICE and a woman they were physically assaulting.

They sprayed chemical irritants into his face, beat him, and then shot him to death.
