Kristen Tallau

So much fun making new friends here!! Thought I’d formally intro myself. I’m Kristen, originally from Maine, now in Nashville, TN. By day I’m a live event video technician, by night, a baker & theatre nerd. Dream job would be on a theatre tour 🤩

Proof of life post. Keep forgetting to check in on here. How’s everyone doing? Including some of my more recent adventures for the algo

Watching that great Christmas Eve classic #SpaceJam

For the love of God, Nashville, if it’s after sunset, turn your damn headlights on. Just because you can see me does not mean I can see you

Drove with my windows down today. Is this what they mean by tender Tennessee Christmas?

Ok, I know I tend to take my breadmaking a bit more seriously than most…but come on. How can you not think these little balls of sourdough goodness are not the most beautiful baked good you’ve seen? Recipe from @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social

PSA for my married friends: don’t be afraid to sit with/ask your single friends to sit with you at church/Christmas events. Even if we enjoy being single, it can still get lonely in the pews watching the couples all around us

I have heard Frosty the Snowman, Little Drummer Boy, and Jingle Bell Rock approximately eleventy billion times today alone This is what I hate about Christmas music

Why, Nashville traffic? Why?

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Introduce yourself with the last five concepts you’ve seen - Hana Kahn - does Moriah Peters doing a set at a conference count? - Linden Hope - Ben Platt - Brian Nathan Really should’ve done the last five musicals…

Saw a sign in front of a church tonight: God doesn’t make misteaks Trying to decide if it’s just a spelling error, or if they are affirming the deliciousness of good beef

So I just spoilt GBBO for myself while reading election results. How's your Tuesday night going?

Day off bakes. Kouign amann. 256 layers of flaky pastry with cinnamon and sugar 😋 Because when you get one day off a week, of course you go for super time consuming, exacting Breton pastries

Is it bad when you come into the work week not realizing you're scheduled for 65 hours? Asking for a friend

Just experienced daylight for the first time since Saturday. 'Twas glorious, wind and rain notwithstanding

Upon initial listen through of Life of a Showgirl, my takeaways are Taylor and I both live(d) near roads named for Gallatin, and we both drink whisky sours Carry on

There is a certain joy in hearing Tessie being played at Fenway, even when you're just watching from Nashville #RedSox #PostSeasonBound

I just sneezed and my watch warned me I was in a loud environment. Usually it gives me a bit more than a split second, but ok

I am very much not a Yankees fan. But whoever just played the strikeout stinger during Trump’s acknowledgment is my hero

I doubt Charlie and I would agree on much. But I will never condone gun violence, especially at a school at a peaceful event, regardless of who the victims are. This should not have happened to him any more than it should happen to anyone. More than thoughts and prayers, we need action

I need Great British Bake Off to not air during my hellishly busy season at work. I always want to bake along with the episodes but can’t because I’m working 60 hours a week 😭

Accidentally fell asleep the other night with my laptop in its case on my bed (queen size, little chance of rolling over onto it). Mentioned it to my mother, and her response was that I need a boyfriend… Is this an endorsement of having my (nonexistent) boyfriend over for the night, mother? 😆

PSA: Doing hard things deserve treats. And what counts as hard things varies according to the individual. As do the treats. For me...it's an annual physical that gets blood tests and x-rays added on, to be rewarded with Pub subs 🥖

🔥🔥🔥

Recent baking therapy and proof of life on my timeline

It is 730pm, and I have not had any caffeine today at all. No Mountain Dew, nothing That’s the real reason I cried at therapy tonight

It's amazing how a fucking cake can make you so angry. I need a hug. Or funny gifs. Or something.

After five months of extensive testing, research, and studying… …men’s trousers are the superior choice

Today I’m thankful for a therapist who understands the importance of baseball. Was watching the end of the NH/VT Little League game when we were supposed to start our session today, and she asked if we needed to delay a few minutes so I could see who won. She truly is the best ⚾️💙

Toast with peanut butter and jam is the MVP of snacks. Just one of today's culinary observations

Just finished the new season of Shiny Happy People for an episode of Where Do We Go From Here? (I was gonna watch it anyway), and now my system feels all kinds of destabilised

Happy Women in Sports Day to all who celebrate. Even when it’s 100°F out 🥵

It absolutely does not compute in my brain how I can spend an hour talking about things with my therapist and feel like we’ve barely discussed anything

Late to the party, but then I always am when it comes to trying new shows. Started watching The Bear tonight. And surprising absolutely no one, I love the pastry chef

Tv viewing in the airport: someone is pouring warm chocolate on someone else’s hands, saying, we want it to remind you of your childhood I don’t know about you, but I was not in the habit of running melted chocolate over my hands

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs (Hard mode: no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

I’m gonna need Taylor Swift to dump Travis Kelce, based on his claim that Tennessee is the Midwest. I will hear no arguments on this, only her breakup song, until Travis repents of such blasphemy

My best work is always in the comments. Look for me there

Meeting someone for a No Kings protest on the corners of Jefferson and John Lewis just feels right

First the library garage has explosions and burns, then my dad’s workplace has to evacuate due to a gas leak. Is Nashville trying to blow up? 🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s just after 10am cdt. I’ve been at work for just over five hours. And I’m still not even halfway done

I wrote a paper back in university about how one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. At the time it was about the war in Iraq and Afghanistan Some themes are just universal, aren’t they? And for clarity’s sake: it’s the ones working for 47 who are the terrorists

First big show on the new (to me) big switcher. And I’ve only had to delete and start over three times

Here for the tea, but not enough to reactivate my Twitter

I moved to the buckle of the Bible Belt almost 11 years ago Realized I was asexual during Pride 6 years ago Started deconstructing, left evangelicalism almost 3 years ago A lot has changed, some has stayed the same, more I have yet to figure out But Pride started it Happy Pride, friends 🏳️‍🌈

Is it really a @mikaedmondson.bsky.social sermon without a Disney or Marvel reference? I think not

Now that the person I made it for has officially posted photos, so can I! Made this for a friend and his girlfriend for her birthday, and I’m rather proud of how it came out 😁

Brother and I have owned this house for approximately 19 months. We have now replaced every appliance in the kitchen, including washer/dryer, and the water heater Except the microwave Dear God, please don’t let the microwave die PROTECT THE MICROWAVE

Is this enough strawberries for a three layer cake? Asking for a friend
