Theater camp (2023)

I laughed out loud more than once which is all the Rec a movie needs... flipped to this while on a plane as a whim & now it’s my favorite film of the year and probably next year? Jimmy Tatro is vintage. Rebecca-Diane (!!!) (Molly Gordon) and Amos (Ben Platt) are hilariously heartfelt. Ayo Edibiri keeps a straight face while saying she picked up juggling to deal w the trauma of her house being lit on fire.

Wicked

I was in a special and precious Cocomelon fugue state opening night in a theater packed to the gills with hysterical women, teen/tween girls, and gays and rewatching it under normal circumstances would undoubtedly break the spell and reactivate my critical mind. But I WILL be there for part 2

Oh, mary!

Wow, wow, wow. I can’t remember ever laughing this hard at a Broadway show. How beautiful and insane that Cole Escola has hatched from their genius mind such a well received, delightful, engaging piece of theatre. God, it’s so silly and stupid and yet so SMART and brilliant. I feel so inspired, like we are on the cusp of a delightful comedic renaissance. I’m delighted to charge forth in the name of this cause, touting the electric genius of Oh, Mary and hopefully contributing work of my own to this flavor of art. Because mama, IT IS ART!

♻︎ CROW JOURNALIING ♻︎

or junk journaling, if you'd like to not perpetuate myths about crows liking to collect trinkets. i just think it sounds cuter weirdly, as someone who's a writer, i've never really been good at or liked journaling. every planner i've ever owned has remained empty. if i try to write something any time other than when the fancy strikes me, it just feels inauthentic, like i'm trying too hard. this has been the first time journaling actually felt like it had a purpose for me, and actually felt weirdly therapeutic basically, it's just anything i can recycle, i make into a page. i like a common theme, so places i've visited, media i like, similar aesthetics, emotions i'm feeling. and then we get the qr code page & i'm reminded that this is probably the quintessential depiction of what scoring 121 on the RAADS-R looks like eh, i'm having fun🤷‍♀️
