Finding out Tyla is on the soundtrack for the new Smurfs movie has me so interested in it all of a sudden 🤭. I'm not excited enough to watch the film 🤣, but I'll get into the soundtrack and merch.

“Blueberry Pie LLC” and listing the cast of characters as “The Players”. Oh, #Heretic, the film 📽️that you are 👩🏾‍🍳🤌🏾😘!

I hope this isn't considered an unpopular opinion in the #WinxClub fandom, but I must say this: ‘Fairy of the Sun and Moon’ is a much cooler title than ‘Fairy of the Shining Sun’. The latter sucks!

Oh no, not Crimbo 🤣🤣🤣

Fiona on Facebook has posted ‘It’s only 14 sleeps until Crimbo’, so I’ve phoned the police and reported her.

If Cupid had a heart, I could own it oooooh. He’d fall in love with me in no time at all. I need you to see; I need you with me.

I also learned that Tyla had my heart and ear this year, which should surprise no one.🥰

DEVELOPING] South Africa welcomes ICC arrest warrants for Israeli PM Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Gallant, and Hamas leader al-Masri. DIRCO's Chrispin Phiri calls it a step towards justice.

I'm going to need South African news organisations to get themselves together and start using their official domains on here 😭😭.

Guitar should definitely be the first instrument I learn to play. 🩷

“Give all your tears to me.” “I'll be a river you can float in.” 🥹 Tyla’s songwriting pen is made of platinum.

I love a messy Christmas family film where they play a song like “It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Yeeeeeaaaaarrr” while an all-out brawl is happening in the background. So effortlessly funny 😭.

I watched Gothika from start to finish for the first time last night, and OMG, it was so good and creepy 😭😭😭. #filmsky

Critically panned movies should fall into two categories: “good for what it is” and “no, you don’t understand it’s ACTUALLY BAD”. Because what do you mean “Catwoman” is only 3% better than “Movie 43”?? Are you joking??? Those films are worlds apart! “Catwoman” is a masterpiece!!!

And a reminder to governments to allocate adequate funds to libraries so they don't constantly get closed down 🙃. Democratise access to information!

once again reminder to go support your local libraries and your local libraries

I'm watching a movie that came out over a year ago and hitting pause because of secondhand embarrassment 🫣. Like “Girl, relax. It already happened.”

I considered YouTubing how this app works, found the idea exhausting and just decided to wing it and figure it out as I go. That’s how I figured out how to use the other app that’s (hopefully) now on her death bed; it should work perfectly here.

You are up to date.
