I love this concept and have friends with similar councils. #PetSky

Read a book, people! #BookSky

I picked up this edition at a library sale over the weekend. Haven't read 1984 since high school, but the back cover says this inspired Orwell. One of these days I'm going to do a back-to-back read. #BookSky

here are Ranganathan’s 5 Laws of Library Science. 1. Books are for use. 2. Every reader their book. 3. Every book its reader. 4. Save the time of the reader. 5. A library is a growing organism. they can be read as a directive for technical efficiency. i read them as an ethical commitment. 📚

Someone: Dogs are just animals, and they don't even talk! How can you say they really love you? Me: Look at this and tell me he doesn't love and claim me. #DogSky

Marmot's Spoils is a 10.5% barleywine with coconut and vanilla, a collab between Marlowe Artisan Ales and Horus Ales. Coconut isn't a favorite for me, overall this is delicious. #BeerSky

Not a Swifty, but I can still appreciate. My thought when a friend shared this was "That's only a bad thing if one happens to be a misogynist ass who can't handle women in power and maybe has odd feelings about pegging."

This woman is a hero! #Libraries #Resist

The annual Christmas movie discussion/debate has started. It's been pointed out that if you watch Love Actually followed by Die Hard, Alan Rickman pays for breaking Emma Thompson's heart. #FilmSky

Andrew Lloyd Webber's isn't the only Phantom of the Opera musical out there. Maury Yeston and Arthur Kopit's Phantom was produced on Broadway back in 1991, I found the cast album in 2000 or '01, and I'm watching the subtitled Korean production on Kanopy streaming. Good stuff. #TheatreIsLife

With all the stressful bs going on, observe this good s'eepy boi. #DogSky

For everyone still trying to ban books for content while demanding the (arbitrary top) ten commandments be posted:

I love finding good multilingual puns. When I can use one to "get" my dad (he and Uncles are VERY punny) even better.

My housemate is watching the Ken Burns American Revolution documentary, and the musical 1776 is in my head. "... illegal taxes - Sugar Acts, Stamp Acts, Townsend Acts, Tea Acts ..." -John Adams "Calling an American an Englishman without the attendant rights is like calling an ox a bull." -Franklin

If you have access to #PBS and like #Shakespeare then I highly recommend watching Twelfth Night that was filmed in NYC this past summer. #TheatreIsLife

The actual thing that will "dismantle" patriarchy is more or this, more intensely and committed: MORE MEN SPEAKING ON IT. Speaking against predators, and predatorial behavior. More men clocking it, calling it out and stomping it out. It will ALWAYS be on men to correct other men's behavior.

Boom.

A more serious challenge would be to show me one that DOESN'T have that stuff. But why would I watch such a heavily edited version? #Shakespeare #TheatreIsLife #Bawdy

I'm going to be looking for this! #MySCA #Scribal #Marginalia

Audio, e-format, graphic/manga, braille all count. #BookSky

I went back to The Patriot (2000) for the recently-late Tcheky Karyo, and I realised something: There's no cunning to this man's hat, nor does it sit well. #FilmSky #Firefly

My classmates thought I was an absolute weirdo for (among other things) reading whole books including ones "above my grade level." More recently I've known kids who were turned off of reading because school forced titles on them that they truly disliked. #BookSky

I met a sweet high-energy 6-month rescue pup today. His dad thinks he might be at least part Blackmouth Cur, a friend I shared photo with who likes bigger breeds had the same thought. #DogSky

Their books were meant as warnings and criticism, NOT how-to guides. #BookSky #Resist

The loud orange turd has been bragging about acing an "IQ test" where he successfully named one or two animals, and saying Jasime Crockett and AOC couldn't do the same. It's been a while since I took that actual test, but there's more to it and the ladies are far more capable of passing. #Resist

#Halloween (and parenting) done right.

I remember when this came out. Yes, it took me 25 years to watch it, but I don't think I'd have been able to appreciate it as much back then. For instance, I know they definitely filmed a couple scenes in and around the actual Harvard Law Library, though I can't confirm the special archive. #FilmSky

For serious. #Resist

Heard a friend give this live earlier. #TheatreIsLife

I ran out of straws for that guy during the 2015 election cycle, and the supply was low to begin with. #Resist

To everyone celebrating, joyous and peaceful feast!

Loud orange turd: ::makes promises and guarantees:: Non-cult people who pay attention:

HAVOC!!!!! #Resist

Question for the movie buffs. Decades back I saw a movie about an Air Force research lab using chimps to test potential effects of radiation on human pilots. A new staffer noticed one chimp using sign language and tracked down his human trainer. Anybody remember the title? #FilmSky

Fresh local pumpkin ale is good. Kings and fascism are bad. #NoKings #Resist #BeerSky

They're holding me in a library and offering me something called mead. So boring.

He must have been on a regular cycle through ALL his neighboring communities, no safety for any girl cat given access to the outside. #CatSky

Here's to the people who get on public transit while forgetting or not realizing that it will entail dealing with The Public. Today it was someone griping about nasty and how DARE a stranger sit down near them and start talking! They stormed off the bus and travel buddy had to scramble to join.

I enjoy a good ghost story, and Where The Dead Brides Gather by @nuzo.bsky.social is definitely that! It also comes from a POV and context outside my "normal" which I appreciate. Once I'm done, my copy is going to a friend who also appreciates African horror and sci-fi. #BookSky

One thing that would make my week: A theatre kid donning a frog suit and joining protest line with top hat and cane.

Let kids read what they want and talk them through anything that confuses or bothers them. Forcing them to read things they truly dislike is bound to kill their curiosity.

I'm watching Pet Sematary (2019) for Indigenous Peoples Day because one of the morals is "Don't muck with First Nation burial grounds." #FilmSky @stephenking.bsky.social

Months back there was a story about Taylor Swift joining Willy Nelson(?) on stage at an arena show for a big protest song with the message "You know what this is about." I'm now convinced it's AI and/or spam because I just saw the exact same story with Taylor joining Kelly Clarkson.

This has been going around for years, still very relevant.

Brain candy, and yes I am. #BookSky credit to tatata.store/dsa18
