At The Light

reblog if you respect a janitor way more than a CEO

I saw Ted Danson was trending on twitter and I got so nervous. Turns out him and Jane Fonda just got arrested for protesting climate change 😅

might fuck around and read a 500 page physical published book in one sitting like it’s 2006 and I’m being bullied in middle school so I take refuge in the library and inhale books at a frightening speed that I have not been able to replicate since

cant tell if pretentious or just petty about their experience with fedex

you say that like they’re mutually exclusive 

Sandra Oh for Porter

Sandra Oh is a trooper, too: bristling with energy, hyper-engaged, determined to be authentic and squeeze every drop out of life. She doesn’t do many interviews. I suspect their one-sidedness bores her. But conversations, where she can actually learn things about other people, those she likes.

“You’ll have to ask Phoebe Waller-Bridge how my hair became a narrative point in Killing Eve [laughs]. It’s like there’s something free or wild about Eve’s nature that I do think comes out in the hair.” (x)

Her name is Laetitia Ky and she’s only 23! 😍😍 I’ve already seen a white girl steal her idea so let’s promote tf out of the OG.

Queer Eye, S4E3

Dan and I bought a thing called “long ziti” from the local Weird Bargain Store, largely as a joke, but…. I have never had a more unsettling pasta experience in my life. They wouldn’t bend enough to cook from top to bottom simultaneously, and while they were cooking boiling water kept spouting out from the tops of them out of the pot, like a boiling pipe organ. Then they were so long and floppy and hoselike that we couldn’t pick them up with anything other than tongs, and then they were so long and unwieldy that it was basically impossible to sauce them without them all slithering out of the bowl like wet snakes. They then proceeded to cool down almost completely within the the seconds it took to walk to the living room. Eating them was like eating a bowl full half melted drinking straws.

Bringing back Long Ziti for another round because it’s just too funny

I love this show

This cracks me up. He is so embarrassed still about the music thing. The homophobia is THEIR problem.

So while I was getting my haircut, the lady asked me if I had other plans for the day and I said:

“I’m just going to pick up the boy from daycare and then it’s date night.”

And the lady says “Oh! How old is he?”

“He’s three.”

“Mine too! Where are you registering him for kindergarten it’s such a hassle-”

And that’s when I realized I said “boy” and not “dog” because I always think of Charlie as “good boy” but this slip up has lead to a miscommunication.

The lady is now 6 minutes into a clearly needed rant about how unnecessarily complex shopping for schools is, esp when you have a neurodivergent child, so I can’t just tell her that Charlie is a dog because then she’ll feel awkward for unloading on me and she clearly has enough going on.

So the rest of the haircut became a game of “how much can I say about Charlie without revealing that he is not a human child?” And the answer is “enough to cover a half hour hair appointment, quite possibly several hours worth if I’m specific enough”

“is he very verbal?”

“It really depends on who he’s with. He’s very quiet at he but won’t shut up if he’s at the park or has a friend over.”

“was it hard to potty-train him?”

“he’s adopted, but I was genuinely amazed at how good he already was with hygene and potty stuff.”

“mine’s just obsessed with paw patrol and Frozen, drives me crazy!”

“I imagine. Charlie is colorblind so he’s not as into tv, but he always wants a toy if I take him anywhere with them.”

“oh gosh the toys! And the kids are so rough on them!”

“yeah Charlie can destroy a stuffed animal in about 2 minutes, so I only buy him the really cheap ones.”

“Does he throw tantrums when they break?”

“Not really. It’s meditative, really, taking them apart. He has hysterics if the cat takes his toys though. Runs downstairs and cries at me until I retrieve it because he’s not tall enough to get it out of the cat tree.”

one really trivial thing I'm loving about elementary is that sherlock actually fucking eats

people adapting the character of sherlock holmes are often tempted to make him borderline superhuman in his treatment of his own body, such as commenting on how he never eats or sleeps, in order to portray his eccentricity. but really is there anything more in character than him walking around his house eating scrambled eggs out of a mixing bowl and offering some to the houseguest he suspects is a murderer

elementary is literally like "sherlock holmes is not a superhuman. he needs to eat and sleep just as much as any other person. however he never showers or does laundry and looks like the NYPD found him in a dumpster and he's been following them around like their pet dog ever since" and that's why it's the best adaptation

POWER COUPLE!
