Let the record show that I called Noah Wyle as 2026 People’s Sexiest Man Alive back in April. (This is not to say that I agree with the choice (Pedro Pascal, to my knowledge, is a man that is alive), simply that I knew who they would pick)

If you’re in Chicago and looking for something to do on Halloween, join me and @byotproductions.bsky.social at My Buddy’s! $30 for 2 hours of open bar! And if you pay through BYOT or mention us at the door, we get $10! Have fun and support the arts all at once!

AEW gave me a cassette tape too, but it was just Chuck Taylor telling the story of his dead birthday horse.

Nephew: I want 2 treats. Me: You can have one. Nephew: But I’m 4! I’m older than you, so I can have 2! Me: I’m 40. Nephew: Oh my god! I can’t even count that high! That’s so old!

Yeah, no, I’m totally fine and chill about this. Like completely cool and normal. 100% regular about it. Not freaking out or counting down the days at all.

Literally my biggest fear.

Personally, I hope the aliens invade before the robots take over.

Just saw The Chicks at the Auditorium. Recommend rage singing “Not Ready to Make Nice” with 3,800 angry women. Very cathartic.

New rule just for tonight: no one can be mean to Wheeler Yuta. Again, this is just for tonight. We can be mean to him tomorrow. #AEW #AEWDynamite

Someone had to have made this before me, but I haven’t seen it.

Me, today:

Here’s the thing: this girl needs a White Sox World Series. She moved to Houston in September of 2005, so she wasn’t able to enjoy the last one. But she’s back in Chicago now. So if all the other teams in the playoffs can just suck for the next few weeks, she’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

Then she’s a 3. Language is fluid. If you understood them, they said it correctly. Correcting grammar is, at best, condescending. At its worst, it’s classist and racist. Correcting someone’s grammar doesn’t make you better, it makes you a dick.

He was one of the good ones. RIP Butcher, you’ll be missed.

I’ve been a wrestling fan for over 30 years, and Cope + Cage have been my favorite tag team the entire time. I get to see them in a TLC match in person. I am legitimately crying right now.

Then suddenly, I was 16 again. New license, old car, driving around Lombard with my best friend, blasting “Remember Right Now”, and hating the boys that didn’t love us back. #Spitalfield #FiveDaysAndCounting #EdgewaterMusicFest

Give Kenny the same entrance as Will so that we can see his former tag partner, Chuck Taylor. #AllIn #wrestlesky

Am I the only one who clocked @willowwrestles.bsky.social as a Dalek? #AllIn #wrestlesky

Aubrey remains undefeated! @mysterywrestling.bsky.social #MysteryWrestling28

It just hit me that we lost 2 Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s this year. Someone keep an eye on Luke Evans, please.

I guess also RIP to Rupert Grint. He’s not dead dead. Just dead to me. 🏳️‍⚧️

In 2013, I made this picture of Nigel Thornberry holding a sword and covered in blood because my friend had a dream that that’s what her publisher was going to put on the cover of her book. This picture still brings us joy and laughter. This is my only Tim Curry related story.

I thought I was out, but they pulled me back in for one last job! (JK, I’m never leaving, but I had a busy summer and missed the last 2 shows.) Sign up to join the heist crew, and maybe I’ll give a really cool heisty nickname.

Using the 5 minute championship eliminator match as a cover for giving us a 90 second women’s match is kinda BS. #AEWCollision

Every now and then I remember that was there at Aragon when Kyle Fletcher stabbed him in the leg with a screwdriver, and I smile.

WHO GOT TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL??? MALE WRESTLERS TAKE ON A PERIOD SIMULATOR #WrestleSky

My niece sent me a thank you card that she wrote herself for her birthday gift. It was addressed to “Ant Brity”. I will no longer be responding to any other names.

Separating the art from the artist only really works when the artist has died, not when they're actively using their income to harm Trans people. If you're continuing to put your money into Harry Potter-related things, you're funding efforts to hurt Trans people. It's really that simple.

At the White Sox game where they just retired Ozzie Guillén’s #13. He played for 13 seasons, and his is the 13th number to be retired by the Sox. I need a better Swiftie than me to tell me what it means.

This was my Lollapalooza.

This is Walgreens right now.

When you’re actually incredibly worried about the guy she told you not to worry about:

Because I don’t see anyone else taking about it, Okada was only 10 days from surpassing Orange Cassidy for longest International Championship reign. And because he doesn’t defend it nearly as frequently as Orange did, if he won last night, he would have also ended up breaking the record. #wrestlesky

I’ve been watching wrestling for 32 years. For that entire time, my favorite tag team has been C+C (fka Edge and Christian). If you don’t like them as champions, that’s fine, this story wasn’t for you. It was for me. #AEWDoN
