Both the movie and the book were heavy, but compelling.

When allergy pills hardly knock a dent in worsening symptoms and it's time for name brand sketchy cough syrup to tag in.....now with extra menthol death taste.

Dancing is good for you both mentally and physically. Just ask this future Health Minister!

Having nightmares about teeth falling out is not only horrific, but cliché the night before my dental appointment. I am happy to report that last night's dream was one where I fall into a dark hole as I struggled to wake up.

I'm watching Smithereens as I start knitting a Mothman. I'll venture a guess that Susan Berman is nice in person and probably lovely to work with on set, but she made Wren quite unlikeable. Then again, those characters are supposed to be awful.

“The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.” www.cnbc.com/2026/04/08/s...

When Congress is in recess it does NOT mean their offices are closed, no matter what your aunt claims on Facebook. Call your rep. Call your senator. You may get voicemail but you might also get a Staffer. Either way, do the thing.

Happy Easter

The crowd is growing here in St. Paul Minnesota at the State Capitol. There are about 40k people here right now with multiple marches still coming. The temperature has warmed up to a balmy 39 degrees, the sun is out and everybody is having a great time. ❤️#NoKings

The extra terrestrials are at it again. Can they teleport me to Michaels?

If you see this post a rabbit. If you insist......

This always makes me smile.

I'm recovering from the never ending cold that is neither flu nor covid. My appetite returned and this sums up my mood and energy levels.

Started this batshittery. I knew I was in for an unhinged time before I got into the bear fight.

As European countries show resignations and firings, I've been angry that the US hasn't been so good about accountability upon files being released. Imagine my smirking delight when I heard of how Chapel Roan was hot to go-far far away from Wasserman's talent agency. www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

Creeps of a feather, flock together.

If only we’d had a sign back in 2016 that Trump had authoritarian impulses that his supporters loved. Like, I don’t know, enthusiastic chants of “Lock her up” aimed at his opponent, or something hypothetical like that.

Their taste in literature and media as a whole is excellent. I highly recommend a look at these listings. If my rent weren't due....

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

It's -7 degrees in Vermont. My being indoors in my bathrobe goes without saying.

The Walker Art Center and the Minneapolis Institute of Art are shuttering on Friday, January 23, joining hundreds of other Twin Cities businesses and organizations participating in a statewide economic blackout in protest of ICE operations.

Anyone else getting Texas freeze vibes? I was living in San Antonio and remember not only passing my ice scraper around to some neighbors, but frozen pipes. I was out of work for over a week as our server was out. Cruz was heading to Cancun, and tossed his wife under the bus when called out on it.

My cozy games are Batman Arkham City and Asylum. I'm sure there isn't more to this.....

I was shocked at how pissed people were about their electric bills today.

Not my house, but I know my way around.

I am not a fan of swelling as a result of dry eyes.

really feels like Becca Good saying “go get some lunch, big boy” is when he snapped. the kind of man who joins ICE is absolutely the kind of man who thinks women should die for saying things like that. they absolutely crash out when we aren’t cowering in fear and making them feel scary & powerful

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people. It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control. It must stop. Kristi Noem must go. Now.

You could caption this as if you have coin, Kajit has wares....and in this context, the item shop has what you need for that weird holiday illness that went around.

I tried my hand at a solo podcast. I couldn't keep up with it. That said, I probably could pull it off with another person, or join a small collective.

While the Final Fantasy franchise came first, I can't shake the feeling that XVI borrowed from Dragon Age and added Kaiju Big Battle elements instead of dragon fights. Don't tell me hero Ifrit isn't Burning Godzilla, my favorite Godzilla. 10 out of 10.

The energy I will bring to the rest of the week

I pick up Final Fantasy XVI on sale and like it so far. It has the classic tropes and aeons, but some aspects of the voice acting and blight references make it a decent Dragon Age sequel as well.

Deacribe your bluesky account in a single image. If we're going to keep with a Twin Peaks theme.....

Welcome to Fiascomas! 6 days of home-made movie reviews of holiday films to fill the time remaining before next year First up is the beloved 1951 version of A Christmas Carol, starring Alastair Sim as Scrooge megaphonic.fm/fiascomas/1

The holidays bring a lot up for people. Some are full of joy. Some are just trying to get through the day. Wherever this lands, it’s okay. May today give you a moment to breathe, a reason to smile, and a reminder that you matter.

Merry Christmas from Santa Saejima #yakuza5 #sidemissions

Five perfect movies in no particular order: The Room Cocaine Bear Bringing out the Dead The Wicker Man Psycho Honorable mention: Halloween, Maxxxine, and Late Night with the Devil.

Your know you've reached a point as a gamer when you ppay Finao Fantasy X and relate to Auron's grouchy tendencies. The man is babysitting his buddies kids as a summoner's guardian.

2025 in a nutshell, I guess.

I'm replaying Final Fantasy VIII or Degrassi by Square Enix. I passed the communications tower fight and Squall vs. Killdozer is not all that far off. #finalfantasyviii #killdozer

Get a head start shopping for the spooky readers on your lists!

I buy lime outshine bars as usual. Opening the box, I discover a bonus seventh popsicle in the six bar box. I'll take it.

BOOM! Three Judge Panel bars Texas from using new gerrymandered map! I told you Republicans were awful and cheaters, but, more importantly they are completely incompetent!! www.texastribune.org/2025/11/18/t...

I'm seeing the appeal of Welcome to Derry. I thought they would overdo it with cgi effects, fan service and Easter eggs or bore me as Castle Rock did. Finishing episode 3, I'm happy to say I was wrong.

I would love to live within walking distance of one of these. Then again, it could make me late for work!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
