Mood.. #Steelers Get it together, yinz!

I feel like the #Steelers need this kind of energy before the weekend. youtu.be/Rrzo_f90rmM?...

Watched "Bridge of Spies" with Tom Hanks tonight. It was SO GOOD. Why didn't I hear about it until my brother mentioned it? Boy, seeing the Berlin wall and "duck and cover" taught to kids brought back memories. We were still experiencing that a couple decades later!

Vaccines don't cause autism. What does? Mostly genes. The number of people diagnosed with autism as screening has improved and the definition of autism has been expanded. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

TIL that "Appropriate Adult" is an actual thing in English law. It's not even meant sarcastically or anything. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appropr...

Happy Juneteenth, friends!

Breaking up the timeline with a squirrel photo. There are an abundance of them in our neighborhood.

I was 16 and working at a movie theater when Alice Cooper rented out one of the movie theaters for his daughter's birthday. My boyfriend at the time thought he'd be cool and rip all the tickets at once but embarrassed himself in front of Alice Cooper instead.

this game is so beautiful, and i haven't finished it yet 'screenshots from me' #SouthOfMidnight

Boosting the signal. It's an entertaining series.

New musical find (for me)- "aggressive elevator soul" Ginger Root- #Skymusic youtu.be/bU-KrPu8_F4?...

I'm reading a book (which I'm not going to identify here) in which the protagonist devises a new type of console all on their own while working a non tech job, but when they decide to leave the person they're living with, every bit of "gear" for it fits in the car. I just keep thinking, what??

(post-apocalypse dystopia where people who still know how to read are called wordwakers) Warlord: What does this one say, wordwaker? Me: Campbell’s chunky beef & vegetable

Great concert by Stromae (for we non-French speakers, turn on captuons. ;)- youtu.be/l5WgAr4B8Vo?...

NamUs, the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, has removed all mentions of trans people from its website. If we go missing they don't want us to be found.

Listening to the World Music Radio album on vinyl by www.jonbatiste.com. Let's face it, the man's a musical genius, and this album brings me joy.

Such a worthy charity. ❤️

New brain candy.

I think this is the first time I'm ever going to skip watching the Superbowl at all.

@jessmull.bsky.social <3 So glad you're here.

During the holidays I tried to watch some orchestral performances with Leonard Bernstein and noticed it was all men EXCEPT for one woman. I'm so glad to see Netflix has a short documentary on her- www.onlygirlintheorchestra.com

So, anyways, I'm a novelist not a nature photographer and my latest, Absolution, is about a man and his pet gator and all the misadventures they get up to out in the swamp. Along with the piano playin' wise-crackin' Old Jim. Pick it up if you like lighthearted, jocular tall tales.

TIL that the groundwork of Sting's song "Russians" is Sergei Prokofiev- Lieutenant Kijé Suite, Op. 60 (Symphonic suite for Orchestra). I'm a sucker for the Russian classic composers. open.spotify.com/track/218XgM...

Game conversations out of context- "Why be a human when you can eat a human?"

I wish I liked pastrami. I feel like I'm missing out.

Rain. At last.

Flashes, a photo-sharing app by Bluesky, is coming! Artists, photographers, creators, and food pic sharers – time to say goodbye to Instagram ✌️

To all of my Scottish and Irish friends, be safe. The weather sounds like it’s not going to be fun.

I'm going to continue trying to be kind, giving where I can, and supporting who I can. Otherwise, I'm likely deep in a book somewhere else.

So here's what's cool about my job: Yesterday morning I said, "We really ought to have TWIN PEAKS available." So then a bunch of people scrambled, worked really hard, and now you can watch every episode of David Lynch & Mark Frost's original series for free on Pluto TV: pluto.tv/us/on-demand...

#Sylvanas X #Malthael mashup design for @esmeraudecosplay is poppin off! Need to draw the back side and some appropriate weapons, but I am loving this blend. #Diablo #Worldofwarcraft #Commission Not currently open for cosplay. Please respect the process and wait for the all clear.

Shout out to all my fellow authors who put alliteration & tongue twisters in their books just to mess with their audiobook narrators. Live the dream.

My heart goes out to all those affected by the LA fires, whether it's loss of home (and neighborhoods), jobs, or even lives. Thank you to all the first responders and fire fighters for your constancy under such extreme conditions. #LAFires #PalisadesFire #EatonFire #SunsetFire

My brother has been a wildfire fighter for 10+ years. His top safety advice to me has always been to be the first one on the road. It's doubly true with 0% containment and LA traffic. If you're thinking of evacuating, and your gut is telling you that you'll need to, don't wait for the order. Leave.

PSA to my friends in California near the fires: breathing in wildfire smoke is really bad for you (even if it’s not super thick where you are) but if you have face masks (N95, KN95, etc) those can help a lot

Terry Pratchett's "Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socio-economic unfairness". The best quote I've ever read about why being poor can be so expensive.

Everyone should also keep an eye on air quality in your area. Even if you're a distance away. Keep your home closed up, use air purifiers, and if you need to go out, wear a good mask (I have used Cambridge Mask Co. since pre-covid for allergies and wildfires.)
