Thoughts on RuPaul's Drag Race season 13, interlude

Time to learn about pandemic filming

  1. They have really dramatic lighting for this
  2. I do wonder why they decided to make this
  3. It's cool to see the audition videos
  4. Did Denali do a flip in skates???
  5. I feel dumb, but I hadn't thought about how filming must've been so much more stressful for Tamisha because she was so much more vulnerable to COVID
  6. It's eerie to see NYC empty
  7. Kandy had COVID?
  8. Olivia's mom is beautiful
  9. Olivia had it too
  10. I feel bad for Rosé and her boyfriend having to be apart
  11. Digital drag really exploded
  12. I'm glad they're also addressing the murder of George Floyd
  13. I love all of the impressions
  14. A wig shortage!
  15. I hope Kahmora's family watches and is proud of her
  16. I would've gone nuts quarantining by myself for two weeks
  17. Wow the only thing you'd get is a red folder
  18. I hadn't noticed that the werkroom got bigger
  19. I hadn't thought about how much more exciting it would be to see the other queens after being quarantined for two weeks
  20. I wonder if the queens are closer from this season
  21. The cinnamon roll thing was adorable
  22. I remember Nicole Byer saying that the set was the safest she'd been on
  23. Testing three times a week is a lot but I think necessary
  24. LaLa compares getting COVID tested to action. HA
  25. How weird it would be to not know what people you work with look like
  26. Oh yeah no pit crew...
  27. Ha Jeffrey Boyer-Chapman wasn't there at all
  28. It must've been so stressful to not hear from people during a global pandemic
  29. I wonder if there are any queens who said no to this season
  30. Huh I didn't know the interviews were done with i-Pads
  31. I wish they included some of the technical difficulties in the show itself
  32. The clapping is fun
  33. Tamisha got COVID?
  34. I'm glad Tamisha didn't have anything serious
  35. Oof I'm not going to be ready for conventions for a long time
  36. Thanks for saying the title, Tina
  37. I like the message of finding joy
  38. And Drag Race does bring people joy
  39. Sad dedicaiton
  40. So while that was interesting, I think if it was interspersed throughout the season it would've been way more interesting

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...

15 things to do in your dad's hospital room

This is meant to be a related piece to  "15 Things You Find in Your Dad's Hospice Room" and "15 Things You Find When You Clean Out Your Dad’s Apartment" . Tell yourself you can panic later (you'll likely never find the time to, but it'll help) Wear a mask because he's immunocompromised (and besides, you've been out trying to live a life which means you could've caught something) Turn on the Olympics because he can't use a remote anymore and no one has helped him (besides, it's always on these days and he at least used to enjoy it) Practice your sanitized answers to his questions (he won't remember them, but no need to alarm him about in his life, your life, or the world for even a moment) Try not to be in the way of the nurses (you'll fail) Sit on the bed because there is no where else to (and realize your arm is resting against his urine jug) Worry that his bed should be alarmed when he gets up to go to the bathroom (he make...
