And another new card! XVII. The Star

The Banana ball bat boy dressed as Batman is my MVP for tonight.

A friend just sent me this, oh my god

None of these are in focus, but that doesn’t diminish how much I love this set I have in which someone was trying to get a good photo of their kitten.

Welp...this was one of those times I feel like I watched a different movie from all the other film buffs, because I both didn't like it at all AND thought that as a movie it was...kinda overall bad. A collection of genuinely unpopular opinions await:

Beep making shapes beyond my comprehension…

Alright. I'm doing it. I'm watching Stanley Kubrick's SPARTACUS. I've seen most of his filmography. I've even seen his other 3hr epics Barry Lyndon and A.I. Somehow I just never got around to watching Spartacus, but here I am sitting around defrosting a freezer so let's do this. My body is ready.

Inkarnate is allowing AI assets in their new marketplace. This program was my first gateway into the #ttrpg scene, and i met a lot of cool people there. I witnessed some shady stuff from them before but this is the last straw. Canceling my subscription and taking down my maps from the explore page

Star Trek: The Motion Picture production art by Robert McCall 1979.

Literally the response when someone suggests maybe BIRTH OF A NATION needs to not be in the canon.

Sunny spot by the window is no longer sunny (darn rotation of the earth!) so Theia finishes her morning nap snuggled into the sofa 💤 🥰 #tortie cat

HANG ON. Eedy Karn on Andor and the witches from The Tragedy of Macbeth were played by the same person??? Hats off to Kathryn Hunter, an outstanding pair of roles and so thoroughly disappeared into that I did not make the connection at all.

Routine PSA: If you ever wish you could put time into directly helping out some kids who need help, I'd be happy to talk about being a court-appointed special advocate in your local foster-care system. There are a whole lot of kids—queer, trans, and otherwise—who need someone to have their backs.

since we're now in Garden Wall season, I am once again sending out this post into the autumnal air

This is my favorite wayward tube, found climbing blithely up the white wall of my garage a few years ago

Any day now guys, we swear that AI will totally be great and useful and not just some weird shit that doesn't even give as good results as that time on Seinfeld where Kramer impersonated Moviefone, all you need to do is stop criticising it and kiss our asses harder and throw more money at us! 😂

By this time next week I'll be in #Montreal. Can any #birds feed locals suggest lesser-known birding spots? I'm from Mtl and know it well but haven't been back since I started birding, so stuff like "oh yeah there's this great little park in x neighbourhood" is the kind of secrets I'm after. 😄

Who wants to help me find the Snow Goose? You Ready? Let’s GO!!! 📷👐🏾🫶🏾🪶

Hey, New York City area Bluesky movie people: If you are going to be at this Sunday's "History of Movie Music" event at the WQXR Greene Space, please DM me and let me know. Co-host is the great Leonard Slatkin! I'd love to meet you there! #filmsky #moviesky #musicsky #classical #classicalmusic

WHERE'S THE MONEY, LEBOWSKI?

This little goober gave me a jump scare at the window while I was drinking coffee and scrolling, and then when I took too long at the door taking pics, buddy here *flew back to the window* just in case there might be someone else in there who's not so mean as to make birdies wait. 🤣 #birds

So anyway, turns out plasma in menstrual blood can completely heal wounds in 24 hours. hudson.org.au/news/womb-to...

We checked out North Island Wildlide Recovery Center today and got to see some lovely birds being kept there because they can't be released. This is Opal, a leucistic raven.

I actually agree with this. Important caveats in replies, but the vast majority of TTRPGs require the GM to be willing and able to provide what the table is looking for. I've played with bad players and still had fun. I've never had fun with a bad GM. #ttrpg #gamemastery

I've been on a Burt Lancaster kick lately; yesterday's feature was THE TRAIN (1964), a based-on-nonfiction story about a tiny French Resistance cell trying to prevent the mass theft of dozens of important French paintings in the final uncertain days before the liberation of Paris.

APRIL - 1805 NAPOLEON IS MASTER OF EUROPE ONLY THE BRITISH FLEET STANDS BEFORE HIM THERE IS NOTHING IN NAVAL LAW STATING THAT A GOLDEN RETRIEVER CANNOT SERVE HIS MAJESTY AS CAPTAIN OCEANS ARE NOW BATTLEFIELDS

Got a new tarot card for the late night crowd, The Star! Let the light guide your way, little ones! #birds

Yes. So much of this would be clear academic misconduct or negligence if only people hadn't been led to believe investor money is a foolproof loophole for laws, norms, and accountability.

I just watched THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP aka the Daffy and Porky movie whose release got completely overshadowed by the Coyote vs Acme scandal, and I am delighted to report that it was *adorable* and very Looney Tunes. It was distributed by Ketchup Entertainment who now also has the rights to AvC!

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Heads up #yeg— food bank volunteers are going door to door this week putting empty bags with a list of most-needed items in your mailboxes. I got mine yesterday. It's the easiest way to donate imaginable, you leave the filled bag on your stoop/walk on Saturday morning and volunteers collect it.

Been so wrapped up with things the past few days, that I forgot to honor the memory of a truely kind, compassionate, and funny guy. Aron Eisenberg. We miss you Noggles! #StarTrek #StarTrekDS9 #CaptainNogForever

this guy is a frog cleric, he lost a finger in a battle, he has a fish hook necklace because a major prophet in his religion was caught on a fish hook lol

So excited and proud, it’s release day for daughter’s first published novel ! Wolf of Fury at Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and fine bookstores in the EU and UK 😄

Currently on a dedicated Burt Lancaster kick and am watching THE TRAIN tonight on @alliedarmour.bsky.social's recommendation, and I already love it because Lancaster is ahead of his time in *not* attempting a foreign accent (he plays a Frenchman). 👏 Guess Stewart and Connery took notes! 😆

Looking for where to stream THE SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS and the top hit was a Reddit post confidently declaring that it's unique because audiences in the 50s weren't used to seeing two big stars play ruthless scumbags and that this was unusual for the era. 🤦‍♀️ knowyourmeme.com/memes/gettin...

Always a good day when I see my lil buddy Valentine. At almost 2 years old, Val is getting on in years for a wild downy woodpecker and one of his feet was crippled last year, but that hasn't slown him down one bit. ♥️ #birds

No idea why or how this happened, but I got a very late-season cosmo bloom and this one is...double flowers??? All my others are single flowers so this is really cool. Even got a two-tone. 🌱 #Bloomscrolling

On this day in recent years: the final garden bouquets and strawberry of the year (2024) and a house finch and starling studiously ignoring each other (North Bay ON, 2023) 🌱🪶

Prince Nimblestep, ruler of the fey domain of Masquerade. His flair as a dancer is matched only by his artistry with the blade. His ballroom is exquisitely opulent, his soirées are second to none, and his palace is a snake pit of intrigue. Preorder Making Enemies today: spyandowl.com/making...

I'll keep reposting this (from 2023) because it's always a big mood for me at the start of Fall. 🥲🍂
