Nearing the halfway point of my knitted pencil case

Listen to smutty medieval Austrians before @moderation.bsky.app determines that they have violated the terms of service with a song that hasn't been censored in 800 years! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv55...

People who ask about the best decade for music really need to be more specific if they don’t want me to say the 1330s

Continuing to practice painting trees with the Larch. The Larch.

Hey, I am seeing knee-length cardigans and tunic sweaters this season. Well done, kiddies, well done. I almost forgive you for barrel jeans

Mini Love melon time! Let this one get a bit too ripe but it was delicious! My hand for scale. My first ever watermelon! 🌱

Oh my, this sounds AMAZING I like peas but split pea soup can get a bit claggy. I figure fresh pea will solve that. (Not unlike how I prefer peanut cookies to peanut BUTTER cookies)

I KNOW I KNOW I’M SORRY

I also request the death penalty for people who park their carts in the center of a grocery aisle to chat with their friends.

This. And toxic positivity "I was just trying to say it was nice that the trains ran on time" stuff too.

noticing more "oh so you hate waffles?" style randomly aggro replies these days. winter is coming

Since reading that silent era art titles were often painted with soft pastels (sometimes called chalk pastels), I have wanted to try My paper is way too textured and small (just 4x6 inches) but I tried to copy the lamp detail from a WHISPERING CHORUS card, which I am pretty sure is a pastel piece

YouTube needs a No Reaction Video filter

Since I knew I would be recovering this weekend, I scheduled a Danish comedy to review because I do love my Danish comedies! HIS PHONY SON (1918) is about a man who has been paying child support for 14 years after a fling. But why is his son over 6 feet tall? moviessilently.com/2025/09/21/h...

Anemic Girlie Plate Vegan Edition Sriracha baked tofu on sourdough seed bread, topped with sauerkraut and pickles, sugar snap peas, a couple of dates

There is nothing to discuss. This is objectively true.

So, are we going to lay out shirts, pants and shoes on church lawns early Tuesday or no?

Hello! I cover silent movies and the silent era with tangents. My hobbies include gardening, befriending frogs and toads, cooking, and making Confederate apologists cry. Heavy poster, highly annoying, you have been warned.

THE BIG SWALLOW (1901) is possibly the earliest comedy to deal with photographic consent. A man objects to being filmed and when the cameraman does not stop, he eats him. (Don't tell @moderation.bsky.app or they'll ding me for disturbing imagery and a nonconsenting model.)

"You're irrelevant on Bluesky!" m8 I was irrelevant on Twitter where I had 110k followers and frequently got over a million views on my videos. It was still just shitposting on a social media site. Deciding that posting is activism has rotted a lot of brains on all sides.

Me, a longtime Disney hater, watching the slow rollout of people learning what an awful person Walt was.

In the midst of yesterday's Mastodon discussion, had an attempted quote-dunk from someone who sincerely believed refusing to use Mastodon = Supporting Fascism. They had started a thread of wongthink posters (myself among them), so...

I am begging men to do this. Begging.

More timeline cleanse because I like my medieval stuff the way I like my scented inks: German. I am a Neidhart Von Reuental fangirl, especially when he writes about winter. He was a 13th century Minnesänger (kind of a troubadour) www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVKg...

Me and my Bluesky bubble

The "Bluesky is a bubble" discourse is back and, as promised, rather than deal with that tired old song and dance, I shall instead post a frog. I recommend that you join me.

Douglas Fairbanks makes his leap as a duels Noah Beery in THE MARK OF ZORRO. The slightly lowered table adds pizzaz to Doug's already graceful jump.

Sessue Hayakawa has been shot in THE CHEAT (1915)

Stay Off the Discover Tab A group of users attempt to engage with their audience while avoiding the dreaded Discover Tab, which can strike at any moment.

The nearest city is Bakersfield and the omelette is a deep fried Snickers bar inside an deep fried squirrel topped with a Confederate flag

This. For Twitter users of a certain age, I give you... #planebae www.vox.com/culture/2018...

we should have never normalized filming strangers in public and posting them as content

Cloetta Sisu Tuima (but please also include the candy)

Joining Mastodon is easy! You just find an instance (not that one, not that one, not that one) and then you set up your farble to interact with the jibcrank but be sure to hide your content automatically behind a yuwving or you'll be in violation of the instances TOS and can be banned.

As Bluesky destabilizes a few people have asked me if I'm on Mastodon and look, I don't know if I'm Mastodon. No one knows if anyone is on Mastodon.

Lupino Lane playing all roles in a melodrama spoof in ONLY ME (1929). Throwing babies out of windows was a venerable villain move in melodrama and Lane took it to its logical boomerang baby conclusion.

I have now seen multiple large art channels doing "use super cheap supplies!" videos on YouTube and, gosh darn it, they always go to Target to get these things! Clear and loving shots of the Target shopping basket and all. Naughty naughty undisclosed sponsorships from naughty naughty corporation

(Whispers) I use black and white watercolor on cellulose and hot press paper with synthetic brushes and I like it

@moviessilently.bsky.social Have you watched his movie? My great uncle played the music and this is the score of his that I found today. You can see his notes for the scenes.

what movie do you consider “perfect”?

I will not subscribe to CNN for their "smol bean ellen" piece and it's risky to respond to a headline but she was smote by the one-two of "actually and cartoonishly mean workplace bullying" and viewers feeling deceived because her whole brand was to be everyone's sweetiepie non-threatening pal

I was delighted to contribute a short piece on the fabulous *Ossi Oswalda* to the fall issue of WeimarCinema.org!!! (A German version translated by Philipp Stiasny will be out in FILMBLATT later this year.) 🎞🎊 www.weimarcinema.org/page/essays www.weimarcinema.org/essay/Hennef...

You quote me without allowing me to reply, I detach. Don't worry, there's a difference between detaching and not being allowed to discuss.

Well, this is baloney. My silent film posts are CONSTANTLY being flagged for "disturbing images" Literally trick films from 1900. Where's my "Discussion, analysis, or depiction of violence in clearly fictional or artistic contexts" mulligan? You ignore all appeals.

Tomorrow's review is going to be a little...

I'm coming up in review #800 in a few months. I think maybe I should actually finish my LAST OF THE MOHICHANS review. I read the book. I watched every available adaptation made from the silent era to 1950. It's just such an unwieldy beast (like the book) but I don't want to tone it down.

Yesssss, the most glorious of all California eateries: the Mexican restaurant that moved into a defunct fast food franchise! Nom nom nom

Looking for a silent movie? I have reviewed over 770 of them from every genre and era! All organic human brainspace, typos and all, no AI, here's my index: moviessilently.com/index-of-mov...
