Husbo made this apple tart for tomorrow and I’m excited, I think it’s beautiful.

My annual unasked-for declaration: I think pumpkin pie is gross. Apple pie kicks pumpkin pie’s ass. Also this annual advice: brine the turkey if you can, makes such a difference, it’s so worth it.

On 11/23 this diary entry is still relevant

And the jury is seriously still out on this question.

I support this in perpetuity

I can’t help it, this supposed turnaround for MTG is fascinating to me.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

I think Republican leaders should study what has happened throughout the last century or two of international history when a populace with this kind of inequity rubbed in its face day after day, year after year, finally snaps. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

A pal of mine is in Detroit rn and I told her to go visit the house where I grew up and she did it and even sent a pic! I am so persuasive lol

In your face, you ignorant witch

Some lovely stuff here at Minneapolis’s Museum of Russian Art

She speaks the truth, as always.

Amen

I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!

it's official

Things seem to be going our way already on this election night but that doesn't stop Bluesky's Eyore contingent from gloomily predicting doom in '26. Folks, it's seriously ok to feel good for a little while tonight, maybe even to gloat for a bit! Don't forget to celebrate wins, to feel some joy.

Excellent

It’s a beautiful day to vote. And to virtue signal!

This was very good then & even more appropriate now, because the total lack of elite accountability is central feature of 🇺🇸 politics & the reason all of the awful & illegal things keep happening & have since at least 1865: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

The time change doesn’t bother me. I always keep some daylight saved in a jar on my kitchen counter

Yesterday, on a holiday where kids go door to door connecting with their community, my sweet town was terrorized by government-backed thugs. Our schools locked down. We patrolled the streets, warning vulnerable people to stay inside. Helicopters circled incessantly. ICE get out.

31. 28 YEARS LATER ('25) This 3rd film focuses on tween boy trying to keep his mother alive as he searches for a Dr to cure her illness in a land plagued w/ the deadly, ravenous infected. Film boasts an unpredictable story w/ many tonal shifts well handled. A nice wrap-up to #31HorrorFilms31Days 👍🎃💀

good criticism meets the subject where it is, bad criticism is typically the result of the writer thinking every piece of art should deliver exactly what they want and expect

30. KNIFE + HEART ('18) Paris, 1979. A mysterious killer is stalking the performers of a small gay porn film outfit. But why? Anne, the boss lady, investigates. This is arthouse horror at its most stylin', poetic & sexy—and it's super gay too! Icing on the bloody cake, obvs. 👍 #31HorrorFilms31Days

29. I BLAME SOCIETY ('20) Dark satire about a struggling filmmaker who turns to murder to see if that might be her ticket to success. Funniest scene: Bro-y producers cluelessly mouthing words like "intersectionality" and "ally." This movie is very 2020, which seems so long ago #31HorrorFilms31Days

Donate to local food pantries if you have the means. I have never seen the lines so long.

There is no jump scare as profound as when you can accidentally activate the self facing camera and see the double chinned stupid face you make while youre doomscrolling

28. REVENGE ('17) Coralie (THE SUBSTANCE) Fargeat's directorial debut is a ferocious thriller about a woman stalking the 3 creeps—one's a rapist—that left her for dead. In this era of overwhelming governmental villainy getting away w/ everything, I found this highly cathartic. #31HorrorFilms31Days

27. FRANKENSTEIN ('25) Guillermo Del Toro's signature style over substance (mostly) carries the day in this latest adaptation of Mary Shelley's timeless tale, but there are places where a lighter touch/less bombast might've been welcome. It's def a see-it-at-the-theater film! #31HorrorFilms31Days

26. BABY BLOOD ('90) Super-entertaining monster fetus tale from France, with a bravura performance by Emmanuelle Escourrou as the unfortunate mother-to-be. It's a (very) bloody good time. #31HorrorFilms31Days

25. CHRISTINE ('83) Stephen King's rather bloated (IMHO) 1981 novel about an evil 1958 Plymouth Fury is adapted for the big screen by director John Carpenter, who improves upon the OG with his tighter storytelling and trademark visual acumen. It's a pretty smooth ride. #31HorrorFilms31Days

24. HEART EYES ('25) A really fun fusion of slasher & rom-com, with both elements coalescing surprisingly well. It gets a little too SCREAM-like in the last 20 minutes or so but it's still a good funny/scary time, with some gnarly ass kills and several laugh out loud moments #31HorrorFilms31Days

23. CEMETERY MAN ('94) This aggressively strange, gruesome black comedy proceeds in episodic fashion and sports a fully committed performance by a never hotter Rupert Everett and super-stylin' direction by Michele Soavi. Not everything works but most of it does. #31HorrorFilms31Days

22. GOKE, BODY SNATCHER FROM HELL ('68) Japanese item about survivors of a plane crash trying to further survive blob-like aliens that turn their victims into blood-thirsty ghouls. This modest little monster mash has such a groovy look/feel that it made the Criterion collection. #31HorrorFilms31Days

21. THE SECT ('91) Jamie Lee Curtis's sister Kelly is being chased by an evil satan worshipping cult, who have Rosemary's Baby-type plans for her. This one's got some great scenes & setpieces (incl one w/ a bunny w/ a tv remote that's BONKERS) but shoulda had a tighter runtime. #31HorrorFilms31Days

Voters who see what Trump is doing right now--the demolition, the extortion, the lying, the targeting of enemies, the weaponization of every branch of government--and support it only because Democrats hate it are failed citizens and bad Americans. They do not merit anyone's respect or outreach.

20. DR. JEKYLL & MR. HYDE ('31) Fredric March won an Oscar for his striking performance as the good Dr. & his fiendish, uncomfortably predatory alter-ego. This was pre-code, so Miriam Hopkins got to be fabulously slutty in her early scenes. Gorgeous B&W cinematography too. Big 👍 #31HorrorFilms31Days

19. BRING HER BACK ('25) Orphaned teenaged brother & sister get placed w/ a weird foster mother (Sally Hawkins) and her even weirder son in this recent Aussie chiller-diller. A tense, gnarly and emotionally involving experience—I was very afraid for those kids from the get-go #31HorrorFilms31Days

18. AT MIDNIGHT I'LL TAKE YOUR SOUL ('64) In this 1st-ever Brazilian horror film, Undertaker Coffin Joe terrorizes a small community as he searches for the perfect woman to bear his child. A true oddity, w/ a repellent protagonist -couldn't wait to see him get his comeuppance #31HorrorFilms31Days

17. DANGEROUS ANIMALS ('25) Aussie thriller features a twisted serial killer who kills his victims by feeding them to sharks. But he may have met his match in Zephyr, a badass final girl who fights him tooth and nail. Tense and exciting—I yelled at the screen several times. #31HorrorFilms31Days

16. DEATH WALKS AT MIDNIGHT ('72) Valentina, a gorgeous model, under the influence of a drug, has a vision of a woman being horribly murdered. Soon Valentina finds herself stalked by the same killer. Nice set-up but too much police procedural ensues. But a rousing climax! #31HorrorFilms31Days

15. BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA ('92) Coppola does the Dracula thing. To avoid yet another fusty adaptation he amps up all kinds of freaky styley, but despite all best intentions this extravaganza comes out emotionally flat (and no, I don't just mean Keanu Reeves's performance). #31HorrorFilms31Days

14. ONE MISSED CALL ('03) J-horror about a group of friends who start receiving phone calls from...themselves! (insert eerie music here). Then 2 days later they die. MY VERDICT: Liked it better when it was about a cursed videotape and called RINGU ('99) #31HorrorFilms31Days

Jasper reminds us all: slow n steady, that's how to get the thing done

Instead of a fuck-ton of people protesting at the capital, this time organizers opted for several rallies throughout the Twin Cities. The one on Fairview drew a very vocal crowd of I'm guessing about 2 thousand or so. I hear one of the Mpls rallies (guessing at one at the stadium) was HUGE.
