she’s timelessly hilarious and witty. i stream the show on peacock and put it on during the day while doing chores and such. i’ve shocked myself by laughing out loud at times, who knew something so dated could be so effortlessly goofy. love her so much.

this show has become my spice of life and absolute favorite. It makes me laugh and cry and run around my house screaming. I’m just like betty she dances to the beat of her own drum truly. She is always trying her best. Just like me af. The show was also styled by Patricia Field who is my idol. Anything she touches turns to glitter and gold.

it's always splendid to come across something you love so much it makes you experience deep regret for not having looked for it earlier.
of course, comedy is subjective, but 30 rock is probably the funniest show i've ever seen. it elevated tina fey to deity status for me (i'm also reading her book, bossypants) and it's totally deserving of being the subject of my first recommendation around here.
the comedic pacing is very impressive. it's absurd. it's heartfelt. it's self-aware. and it never feels bumpy. if you haven't watched it, you should. and if you have, you should go again.

I‘ve been rewatching because my mam showed me an old home movie of 9 year old me clutching an Ugly Betty Season 2 box set on Christmas morning and I was overcome with nostalgia. I got so much from that show as a goofy queer kid living in the middle of nowhere in the UK.
IMO it holds up!!!! Betty is actually sort of annoying but still so sweet and her fashion sense bangs in 2024. Mark, Amanda and especially Wilhelmina are comedy gold. The storyline surrounding Alexis and her transition is questionable at times, but on the whole treated with kindness. I feel glad that 9 year old me saw a (albeit fictional) trans woman on screen being treated with respect.

science and medicine has progressed enough to the point where women can opt to stop having periods. i’ve had two hormonal IUDs over the course of 8 years now, and therefore haven’t had a period in 8 years. no cramps. no heating pads. no cravings. no tampons. nothing.
every womens body is different and i can’t promise everyone will have the same experience ive had with my IUDs. but if your periods suck like mine did, it can’t hurt to ask a doctor ab going on some sort of HRT/birth control. why are we still letting our uteruses dictate and manage our lives for one week out of every month? (for some, like myself at one point, well over just one week)
not having a period is great! it’s freeing!!!!! i feel as if i can put my personhood and identity first, and not sacrifice any sort of happiness or autonomy to my uterus!
