God I don't even know if I'll be able to get a reward from this kickstarter considering the tariff bullshit has made getting mail from Europe impossible but I NEED this Edward Gorey figure. Dracula Art Toy - Collectable Cities x Edward Gorey, via @Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/col...

Greetings from my house.

Sounds of Our House: "How are you?" "For the purposes of this meeting, I'm fine."

Sounds of Our House: "So they showed you the meaning of mosey."

Arguably, one company should not be responsible for 33% of online services

Digital historical interpretation? It has potential.

So many colors in the twilight.

My writing companion and I send greetings to all at the No Kings protests. Were I not on deadline, I would join you in person.

I need hope. This helps. Chalk from BGSU campus.

I would adopt this absolute cryptid.

It's been long enough since I last used my office electric kettle that I had to pry the lid open the first time and then needed to remember which button does what. It's a lot harder when I've managed to wear the information off the buttons over time.

Post a picture of when your pet was little. The kitten version of the Lady Zee.

I think I might have spooked my students with Mom Voice. One of my students fell asleep in class and I called him back at the end of class so I could check on him. His earbuds got in the way and I had to raise my voice. He came back. The rest scattered at speed. I'll only use this power for good.

Today in Popular Culture and Media: polysemy, media artifacts as ideological fragments, subject positions, aberrant decoding, and the Kendrick Lamar/Drake situation. Now to teach about the legacy of Jaws in my other two classes. My thanks to @gacruzphd.bsky.social for the video that got me started.

Yes, I will happily sit down for more time with the Velocipastor and the Hooker/Doctor/Lawyer.

Ginger and not so ginger.

I loved assigning this one for this term during the Hollywood Censorship, Round One unit in my film class. Joan Blondell is not to be missed.

Swedish film studio SF is putting a number of its older catalogue titles on YouTube. This is likely a strategy that many Euro studios are going to turn to monetize their catalogues as in-house VOD services prove too costly and undersubscribed. press-international.sfstudios.se/post/sf-stud...

I just wanted to know time and temperature for roasting a butternut squash.

For a century, the BBC has broadcast the weather report for the seas around the UK. "The Shipping Forecast" has informed and lulled generations who tune in to hear it.

My first version of this song: youtu.be/3Pg-AtjCR-Q?...

For the afternoon crowd.

This is Bahama. He and I went on a walk. I finally achieved the "me and my llama" dream first introduced by Sesame Street when I was a little kid.

Tonight on Silent Film Fridays, we're taking at trip to visit Aelita, Queen of Mars (1924, dir. Yakov Protazanov). We'll kick off at 7pm Eastern over at stream.place/atk42games.b... . Join us, won't you?

Found them! And I'm with them.

One (1) ginger widget.

Fluffy and unbothered.

You know, I'm prepping a lecture for next week about polysemy in popular music..... how many meanings can a song have? And how often is meaning dependent on listener subject position? I'm also pulling Life of a Showgirl into this. With the fan response to lyrics, I'd be daft to leave it out.
