Who's your favorite Jedi? (Wrong answers only)

I'm a better "Christian" than most of them, and I'm an atheist.

Favorite songs/artists Sufjan Stevens - Chicago His album "Illinoise" remains one of my favorites, and Stevens turns in a great, acoustic version of the album's highlight track. #musicsky #nowplaying #nowlistening #mindfulmusic youtu.be/jk68RQ6mfP8?...

"Last week, administrators in Leander ISD in Central Texas, sent emails to teachers telling them to “pause” the use of a list of 40 books relating to “DEI” (diversity, equity, and inclusion) that had previously part of LISD curriculum or choice reading activities." #booksky The books:

Drop something CARTOONY 🎨✍🏼🖤

Watched this last night and was impressed. The filmmakers did a good job balancing scares and gore with some emotional moments. On a side note, all of my dreams last night ended up being one apocalyptical scenario after another. #moviesky #cinema #filmsky

Gift card draining - be wary this holiday season. The new scam is to steal a gift card, copy the info, and then put it back for someone else to buy. They usually damage the card by scratching off some of the numbers and the security code. Guess who fell victim to the scam this week?

Coffee and a donut to celebrate Chopping Spree’s one year birthday! 🎂 Thank you to everyone who’s read my little anti-capitalist slasher, and thank you to Dark Matter Ink for publishing this stabby cutie! 🛍️🔪

My daughter started her PhD program in Pharmacology and Toxicology yesterday. Hopefully, by the time she finishes, these three morons will be gone and scientific research will be supported again. #research #funding #medicalresearch #rfk #tylenol

Waiting for the Rapture. Anyone know what time it's supposed to happen?

Congratulations to my daughter, Lauren, for starting her PhD program today. I couldn't be prouder of the woman she's become.

Favorite songs/artists Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now "Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels The dizzy dancing way you feel As every fairy tale comes real I've looked at love that way" #musicsky #nowplaying #nowlistening #mindfulmusic youtu.be/YgtLZCe-GSM?...

What's the most memorable quote from a book that's stuck with you? Here's mine: “Don’t ever think I fell for you, or fell over you. I didn’t fall in love, I rose in it.” —Jazz by Toni Morrison. #booksky #book #books #reading

Share a 90's TV series you love. 📺

Favorite songs/artists Iron & Wine -Weary Memory My favorite track off his debut album. Love the bittersweet lyrics: "Those are moments that I can always relive Weary memories I can always see" #musicsky #nowplaying #nowlistening #mindfulmusic youtu.be/EFKBxKBiOd8?...

So, a Charlie Kirk supporter ordered his favorite drink (the Mint Majesty tea with two honeys) from a Starbucks, then wrote "loser" on the cup and blamed the employee for doing it. The store had to be briefly shut down due to all the performative outrage. blockclubchicago.org/2025/09/19/v...

Sums it up...

Favorite songs/artists Roxy Music - More Than This Back in the day, this was one of my favorite New Wave bands. This track off their excellent swan song album, Avalon, has always been my favorite. Lush and romantic. #musicsky #nowplaying #nowlistening #mindfulmusic youtu.be/40MDC5tA3TA?...

"Captain Kirk in a wife-beater shirt, beer in hand, and mud on his boots" #SFF #StarTrek #SciFiComedy youtu.be/1eqYswiW4eo?...

Redneck Star Trek is probably amusing me far more than it should. Loved the redneck Picard. #SciFi-Fantasy-SpecFic 🪐📚 #SFF #startrek youtu.be/mZvr9D-EWLQ?...

Laundry day today. Luckily, the washer comes with a special selection

I was a quiet and shy little kid, and books were definitely my refuge #booksky

FOUR DAYS. Oh my gosh, I can't believe it's so close. The First Sin is about the prophesied misadventures of a trio of dragonoid aliens and the trouble they get into with a second group of aliens. It's spicy, bloody, and lots of fun. 📚💙 🪐📚 #bookcovers #bookcoverart #coverreveal #scifantasynovels
