Best reason to go off the record.

there's a lesson here somewhere 💚

The Thing (1982) and Malcolm X (1992) never disappoint 📽️

This is such a good analysis of both book and movie

Nobody who pays attention to TX politics thought for a second they would. State-level politics here are about punishing ideological disobedience and making some people richer. That's it. Quality of life simply does not factor.

ok yes those are definitely skeleton panda sea squirts

"This return represents more than the restoration of land — it is the restoration of balance, dignity, and our sacred connection to the places our ancestors once walked."

Horror ppl should watch Hell-Bound Train (James & Eloyce Gist, 1930) on @criterionchannl.bsky.social. The Gists were Black evangelists & amateur filmmakers who used their films in their sermons. This film is a catalogue of sins. Even w/ no budget, it has surprisingly haunting moments throughout.

The National Association of the Deaf is celebrating a legal victory against the White House. A judge ordered ASL for briefings conducted by the press secretary or President Trump. n.pr/43W4f6r

Today's #morningsong was actually in my dream. I was carrying around a stack of boxes that represented career paths not taken 🤷‍♀️ youtu.be/1A0MPWseJIE

THREAD: 25 years ago today, the first crew of the International Space Station for a four-and-a-half month stay. Two cosmonauts - Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev - were joined by NASA astronaut William Shepherd. Since that moment, the ISS had had at least two people onboard.

PSA

It’s his day.

Main takeaway from my first Spooktober is that watching the same genre (even with a variety of subgenres, time periods, languages, etc.) for a month straight is actually kind of... boring. Glad I did it though. 📽️🎃 #filmsky boxd.it/PnEWA

Odd that Hulu has the black-and-white version of GDT's Nightmare Alley but not the color version

'The Hound of the Baskervilles' (1964) East Germany 📽️

“When I was a kid I would watch my great-grandmother sewing yarn through a flour sack on her lap, telling a story stitch-by-stitch. [T]his was called colcha—an embroidery practice that migrated to Colorado in the 19th century from New Mexico." Hand-sewn poster by Katie Dokson 🪡🎥 #filmsky #stitchsky

"To be queer in Texas is to be enraged, joyful, desperately frustrated, emboldened by solidarity, sometimes scared for yourself and your friends, and other times grateful for a thoughtful, sparkling community." Facts.

Brittle star swimming! Love this movement.

Update 📽️🎃

Earlier today, Mother Jones talked to Bay Area faith leaders about what brought them out to protest ICE. Here's what they had to say.

A fire-breathing dragon puppet I got for my nephew back in 2022

Went to the School-tastic (no relation) Book Fair for Grownups today, got some great books and silly prizes (erasers, pens, you remember), then drove around two of my old neighborhoods. It was nice. I so rarely leave the house these days I'd forgotten why I love living here.

So we're doing Tuskegee again huh

James Jean’s art for Guillermo del Toro’s @realgdt.bsky.social @netflix.com #Frankenstein feels like beauty stitched with sorrow — just breathtaking.

Today's @wikipedia.org lookups: Fairy ring Fairy circle (new to me) Budd Dwyer (new to me and yikes) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_r...

Will never get over the embarrassment of realizing FIVE YEARS LATER that a coworker made me a mix CD to flirt and not just because he wanted to share some music 😭

At first the SDH captions for Mr. K seemed like too much, but the more I watch the more clearly I can imagine someone sitting in a room thinking carefully about how to help another human being more fully experience the movie 🎥 #accessibility

The notion of fast-tracking citizenship for white Europeans who are mad about immigration reminds me of when Bolsonaro was gonna live in exile in Florida and then had to go to a for-profit hospital once and immediately went back to Brazil

This last part is where most of the swearing happens.

If Pedro Pascal played Gomez Addams they'd have to replace all the seats in the theater

Reading lots of HPL lately for a project & part of this repetitiveness is related to getting stuck on certain words in diff eras of his career & not seeming to have an editor that could just say hey man, you've used demoniac, let's see, 8 times in this 5k word story, maybe try changing it up a bit?

Me picking up Thief of Time at Fry's Electronics in 2005ish, having no idea it was the 26th (!!) book in the Discworld series lol

Black people have been asking this question for a very long time.
