Yes. It falls during my job's busiest time of the year. I don't mind too much. My boss is chill and takes me out to lunch. Liquor included.

The Horse. It stood taller than the other pieces

Where has Meghan Markle gotten a ton of work done? One of these pics is from 2023 and one is from last night. She looks the same to me.

This entire paragraph is giving me life. "Hyperbolic Vituperations" right next to "Since 2009 I had this bitch jumpin'" -- Is the most America shit!

Ep7 of #LoveIsBlind where Annie manufactured an argument from nothing. Look, I have my own ideas about Nick, but he was being affectionate and supportive here. Then she accuses his of being 'not all in' and starts crying and then says 'I don't need you.' Girl Whut? This cast is so weird.

A Wrinkle in Time. I still have this edition with this cover.

This little kid name Eric. I remember he was a black ginger. Kinda looks like a black Opie Taylor.

Skin So Soft. My mother had a side hustle as an Avon Lady.

Summer time with my cousins. Hide and seek games where the hide zone was anywhere in the entire neighborhood block. One of my cousins hid under a pew at the church down the street.

The way this was always on my grandparents tv come Easter time!

Our corner store had so many candies. Do they still make Volcano Rocks or Candy cigarettes? LOL.

That tracks.

We don't cause trouble, we don't bother nobody

The Kat/Tomas/Eva triangle would be more fun if: 1)Tomas could emote better than a block of wood 2)He was in love with at least one of them (or at least believably torn) 3)He wasn't an asshole 4)Kat or Eva realized they deserve better 5)They weren't in it to triumph over the other #BeyondTheGates

Sad to say mine went full on Flowers In the Attic when I went to College.

It is apple season. And I just randomly thought about when McDonald's used to fry their apple pies. Those bubbles, the buttery crunch, the hot lava scorching your mouth. We used to be a proper country.

Well played! 😂

Greg Vaughan is coming to #BeyondTheGates. Yaas! Mystery role, but NGL, I'd be down for the swirl with him and Nicole!

Full disclosure: I don't listen to Taylor Swift so I have no frame of reference, but I heard she used the word 'Dickmatized' in a recent song about sex with her fiance. And is this why..?

They both are. But there is just something about a man showing it with his whole face! We love to see it.

#Loveisblind Season 9 is... a mess. - Two people ghosted - One couple agrees they believe being gay is a 'fad' - One guy looks like he got plucked right from a 90s UPN sitcom - One woman won't give her fiance her phone # (he'll need to DM her via insta) And there are still 6 eps left!

So Cardi basically did a "Fuck a rap battle, you in a long life battle with yourself" tweet.

"Post Game Interview. How we feeling?" Had me rolling. Also, girl with the pepper spray at the ready! Casually pulling it out of her pocket like it was a tissue. Always on hand. Now, that's what I'm talkin' bout.

I stopped at Wegman's after work intending to just quick in and out to get some sour cream and 'I Got A Man' by Positive K came on. Lissen... I danced in the dairy aisle for the whole song. I have not heard that song is a minute! I Loved that damn song back in the day and now it is in my head!

I am LOVING all of the savagery y'all are giving re: Thomas (or as I like to call him NoMas) on #BeyondTheGates. Keep it up He is a trash human and the actor is just not giving. I was rooting for him and Kat in the beginning but he really is not up to the task. Meanwhile the ladies are killing it.

No. Monogamy in and of itself is simply a declaration of exclusivity. "I choose only you. You choose only me." How that exclusivity looks and whether it glides over the line into possessiveness ....well that depends on how any one particular couple navigates their power dynamic.

My son -- straight faced -- said to me 'I know you're not Boo Boo the Fool, but I would finally like to meet him some day. I've heard a lot about him after all.' And I jus...

Awww.... and I love her name!

Our first outdoor grow and it is doing so well. We had four plants: Summer Lemons Apollo Early Frost 20/20 Early Frost matured first we had a trimming party and is currently curing.

Been on a 'cozy fantasy with sentient houses' kick this past month The Innkeeper Series - Ilona Andrews The Hall of Blood and Mercy Trilogy - KM Shea The Leveling Up series - KF Breen Next up Lord of Stariel - A.J. Lancaster The full cast audio of the Andrews and Breen books are fab! 🪐📚 📚💙

@astoldbynai.blacksky.app Happy birthday! 🎉. Celebrate large!

- If there is a side character I like, I have to search on their name (on the e-reader) to assure myself they make it to the end of the story. - I always have two books in progress. A reading one (nightime) and an audiobook (daytime). #Booksky #Blackbooksky

The Fall of the House of Usher - Netflix Admittedly there were only 8 episodes but they were all fabulous

Downton Abbey - As someone else put it "it is just a show about rich English people sitting around a big house, waiting for other rich people to visit." I remember watching it an episode thinking -- THIS is the show they are nominating for all those Emmys?

Eureka. I want to be a super genius scientist with unlimited funds in a quirky off the map small town.

- Using rape/abuse to make an unsympathetic character sympathetic - killing off one character just to create a storyline for another - The black friend with no story or inner life - the POC whose only storyline is their identity or activism -Will they/Won't they drawn out til we just don't care

Breaking Bad

I don't think 'Prestige TV' is all that better than regular ol' tv. In fact, if you look at the responses on today's #Questionsky, most of people's favorite or comfort shows, the regular-degular network shows outpace the expensive streamer shows. Special shout-out to the 90s and early 2000s.

Lower Decks Spongebob Jimmy Neutron (I watched this with my kids and still love it...)

- Killing off an important character - Adding a heretofore unknown relative, usually a child - Retconning, usually an antagonist or villain and giving them a sob-story back story to make them more sympathetic - adding an super genius, super villain who is always two steps ahead of everyone

Pitch. Ugh. I was sooo upset.

Breaking Bad The Wire (seasons 1 -4) Leverage Brooklyn 99 Eureka Abbott Elementary recently: Will Trent The One Who Live

I am in the GIlded Age, hanging out with Peggy, Bertha and Railroad Zaddy!

Probably Walter's pants in Breaking Bad In the pilot he strips down to cook meth out in the desert and his khakis fly off the back of the winnebago In Season 5(?) he is hiding a barrel of money out in the desert and he rolls them past a pair of khakis that looks like they'd been there for awhile.

Velma. That recent one with Mindy Kaling. Ugh. I tapped out very quickly.
