Repainted part of my bathroom. DoMH came in and asked if I meant for it to be @nightvaleradio.bsky.social purple. I didn't, but I'm not mad about it. More spooky references!

Grace just sent this me this tok of a woman accidentally recording her cat in slow motions, and I am SOBBING from laughing so hard

This is abhorrent. And a HIPAA violation. I hope the hospitals won't comply.

This sounds like a terrible way to make a movie. So many actors talk about how working with scene partners can make everyone up their game and improve the scene.

Introduce yourself with the last five concerts you attended: From most recent, in the past 12 months Three Dog Night (Aug) IMC (Jun) IMC (Mar) Postmodern Jukebox (Dec) IMC (Dec) What does this tell you? That I support my kids (DoMH sings in IMC). And it's a good chorus, because I went happily!

I was a college graduate, married, and a public school teacher before I could finally get my own credit card.

Necessary tools from the bad old days (or: the smallest taste of why marriage equality matters.)

Aliens. Ripley came out in the metal suit to fight the queen and someone got up, pointed at the screen and yelled "I TOLD YOU! I KNEW IT!" And not exactly a film reaction but audience was appropriately spooked when the power went out right as the aliens were close on radar. Lightning took the power

I wish a very happy “fuck you” to everyone who thought throwing trans people under the bus was going to stop these lunatics Their goal has *always* been the eradication of the entire LGBTQ+ community, and they’re not gonna stop at Obergefell either This is why we fight for *everyone*

@wiswell.bsky.social I just finished Someone to Build a Nest In yesterday, and loved it so, so much. Trying to get it on my book club's list, and telling everyone about it. Such an interesting POV and characters and and and... Thank you. Definitely one I'll be rereading
