UCLA!!!!

This looks interesting. Diving in. #Booksky

I saw the incredible Eddie Izzard in Hamlet last night. If you get the opportunity to see this, don't hesitate!

I have no idea how the game is going but this half time show is excellent!

I love Team Canada's opening ceremony uniforms.

I find the shipping forecast on BBC radio oddly relaxing.

"Book Series in Order" is a gem of a website. www.bookseriesinorder.com

Just spent 20 minutes going down the Roku Yule Log rabbit hole. Who knew there would be dozens of options, including K-Pop Demon Hunters, Stranger Things, Calcifer, and Elves on Fire.

Just watched Wake Up Dead Man - definitely my favorite Knives Out movie now. So good.

Getting an "age assurance" prompt forcing me to add my birthdate on desktop. Not seeing it on mobile yet. I'll be on my phone for awhile.

The Acela Next Gen seats are surprisingly uncomfortable.

I may have over buttered the turkey. 😯

Ruth Asawa is no stranger to San Franciscans—my son goes to the art school named after her—but this exhibition is truly amazing. Do yourselves a favor, New Yorkers, go see it at (your) MOMA www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/a...

Incredible seats to see Midori tonight at Sixth and I. We've seen her twice at Kennedy Center but this smaller venue is a real treat.

I'm watching Hoarding for the Holidays and I'm coveting it all.

Game 7 is the first baseball game I've watched in a few years and I think it's enough. Good game though.

Is search broken? Everything I search for is at least 4 hours old (even in latest).

I've tried Wuthering Heights twice and never got on with it. Now I'm going to have to give it another go. Great episode!

A perfect book for an autumn day. Astonishing read. ##booksky 💙📚

A good night to block and move on.

This makes me want to move to the Twin Cities.

Art is the pact of individuals denying society the last word. Parade by Rachel Cusk #Booksky 💙📚

We needed this. #UCLA

I read The Brandons by Angela Thirkell and Casino Royale by Ian Fleming back to back and it was weirdly satisfying. It was my first Fleming (not my first Thirkell) and I'm looking forward to reading more. #Booksky 💙📚

Summer by Edith Wharton seems like a perfect book for this humid day. It's one I hadn't heard of so I'm looking forward to diving in. #booksky 💙📚

My peonies are looking lovely this year.

Here's my April book roundup. A real mix of genres this month. #Booksky 💙📚

A little bit of fun on Friday after a long week. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkiZ...

All hail salt water taffy season!

I binged The Residence on Netflix and have no regrets. It's a hoot!

Lovely shadow on the tree. That ribbon shape has become iconic.

Here's what I read in January. A Reckoning was a devastating read that I'll be thinking about for a long time. The Bright Sword was a fun Arthurian read and I'm always up for that. The Solnit and Arendt books are important for the times. A good month. #BookSky 📚💙

Everything continues to be awful but I received some lovely book mail today. I took advantage of the sale @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social and am looking forward to a Gorey fest. #BookSky

Linda had warned Peggy not to cut her own bangs.

We're on our own.

We've gotten about 3 inches of snow so far with several hours to go. I'm not complaining - I love snow!

You know Bluesky has the juice when you don't even need to turn the game on.

Fountain pen folks, I've had these two Waterman and one Aurora pens since the 90's (models in alt text but I'm doing it from memory so I could be wrong). All still write beautifully but I've been conservative in my inks and now want to try something new. How do these hold up to shimmering inks?

A slippery morning feels appropriate right now.

I heard my people cry and lo! I have come.

There it is. NTSB only sending info out via X now. Expect the same from CDC FDA etc. soon.

Muriel Spark fans, the whole of Memento Mori was posted on YouTube four days ago. youtu.be/vjwBV_HjDNA?...

Here's what I read in January. Trying to read more from my shelves in February (although I'm eternally grateful for the library). #BookSky 📚💙

Sharing the alt text version for the biggest possible audience. And this is a personal addition: Find whatever fuels resistance in you — spite, stubbornness, plain old insubordination — and remember it. Let it renew your resilience.

Well January turned out to be an awful month. Hoping February shows some backbone.

A gentle reminder to new users that you should be adding alt text to your images. It's easy to do and will increase the odds that others will share your images.
