1. One of my favorite theatre venues in DC, the company too. 2. The music and performances were great* 3. The pre-show blood warning left me wanting… more!!! 🪓🩸🪓🩸🪓🩸 *the sound was mixed so poorly I couldn’t understand over half the lyrics. I can’t speak to the quality of the book.

The Count knows what’s up.

It’s very interesting. And it’s very chaotic. I bound off early after making too many brioche mistakes. There’s really only one thing I don’t like about the design, and it’s that straight line between sections 1 and 3. Otherwise, I dig the vibe. #MysteryMusiKAL #westknits #knitting #MKAL2025

This is so dumb and shortsighted. But hard to expect anything else when you let DDOT be the governing body. 🙄

Appropriately, Garbodor Max Battle Day in Pokemon Go has been garbage. Two remote raids pooped out due to network errors. Fix your shit, Niantic! #pokemongo

Today’s soundtrack while I transition the wardrobe seasons in my closet

This is a nightmare. I’m so fucking tired.

Lesley really is that gurl #GBBO

It’s so good 🤤

It's official: MY BAD: A PERSONAL HISTORY OF THE QUEER 90S AND BEYOND has a cover! I love how the yellow feels like a run over hazard sign, and the mixtape is perhaps my personal 90s icon. As for those sexy statues? You'll have to read it to find out...

We always love a casual fun day at the Maryland Renaissance Festival, but the best days are like yesterday - cool, maybe with rain, and less crowds. Got to see 2 of our close friends perform their shows as well! @apollosdad.bsky.social #mdrf

😭😭😭

The hair is thinning. My eyes are struggling. My hip hurts everyday. But today is my 50th birthday and I’m in a generally good place, all things considered, and that’s a gift. ☺️ And so is the cake I ordered for delivery! 😜

A huge HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY to my handsome husband! Send him some love today, folks! @apollosdad.bsky.social

Fifty years ago, on Sept. 26, 1975, The Rocky Horror Picture Show flopped at the U.S. box office — then became the longest-running theatrical release in history.

I gave myself a sewing challenge to try a dress pattern, and chose the Wrap Dress from a Great British Sewing Bee book. And she’s finished! There were tears, but I learned a lot. Invisible zip! Gathered sleeves! Facings! Understitching! Definitely worth it. #sewing #homemade #wrapdress #gaysewist

Rocky Horror aficionados used to attend screenings of the film over and over to take notes on the details. Accurately mirroring every line and dance move has gotten easier over time.

First day home after 5 if travel and he becomes a magnet

Having an empty middle seat next to you on a flight is glorious, but the universe will balance that with a screaming infant nearby.

Dear Ruffles Have Ridges, I’d like you to try to make a bernaise flavored chip, please and thank you. Any time it’s on a menu, I order it!

ANNOUNCEMENT! Coming next year to @bbctwo @bbciplayer and @pbs from @bbcarts and @bbcstudios !!! A palatial new series for you ✨️

Sometimes you just find the right spot with amazing food and an incredible drink menu, served by a kickass bartender. I’m still thinking about that meal 12 hours later! Check out Barroco, it’s a gem in the old town. www.barroco.ca

Bon jour, Montréal! I arrived a few hours ago and am finally feeling conscious 😅

First time flying @aircanada.bsky.social and it’s been easy with no drama. Makes up for how early it is. 🥱 À bientôt, Montréal! 🙌🏼🇨🇦

My coworker sent me this lovely arrangement yesterday! It’s been far too long since we had fresh flowers in the house. 😍

Glad to be back at the Maryland Renaissance Festival. Seems like we’ve been going nearly 25 years. Nice to see the same people year over year, spend time with friends, and have the most incredible time people watching. W/ @theotterknitter.bsky.social

After watching @mattbaume.bsky.social new video on the X-Men movies, I'm gonna rewatch the first one. I haven't seen it in a few years now

One of the most respected Indigenous actors of his generation, Greene appeared in more than 200 television shows and movies. He played a Lakota warrior in the 1990 blockbuster Dancing With Wolves.

My first time growing Obedient Plant and it’s rewarding me for the effort of watering during a very dry month. #gardening #flowers #blooming

Having our fur baby home from the hospital is a relief in that we’re more aware than ever how precious the time is. Because he’s family. Pic is from last week. Clearly I need to take many more! 🤣

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

RIP to our Priscilla legend

Trump’s move to deploy the National Guard and place local police under federal control looks like political showmanship than necessity. Crime isn’t at crisis levels, but framing Washington as a war zone ignores facts, fuels fear, and justifies authoritarian measures, a red flag for any democracy.

I’ve been knitting several larger projects lately so I pushed myself to finish this one. I needed a sense of accomplishment! The pattern is Red Katana by Svetlana Volkova. The yarn is Malabrigo’s Caprino in “Matisse Blue” & “Poipu”. A very easy knit, but read the pattern carefully. #knitting

It’s been awhile (years!) since we played T’zolkin. It’s so unique with the wheel mechanism, and once you remember the rules, it moves very quickly. A winner that deserves a place in our collection! (Yeah, @apollosdad.bsky.social won 🥇) #games #boardgames #gaming #bgg

An update from us here at PBS 💙

The National Bonsai and Penjing Museum marks the 400th anniversary of the Yamaki Pine, an ancient tree that survived the 1945 bombing of Hiroshima and has since become a symbol of peace.

It’s official! We’ve raised more than $40 MILLION for independent bookstores since we launched in 2020! 🥳📚

Today I finished this bag for @apollosdad.bsky.social, modifying slightly the Fennel Fanny Pack pattern by Sarah Kirsten so it will work more as an over the shoulder bag. Big enough for a phone and sunglasses. Didn’t aim for pattern matching but I like the stripe contrast! #sewing #sewists

At last! A definite annoyance this weekend but thankfully we had bottled water on hand for emergencies.

The driveway display is particularly lovely even in this heat #gardening #flowers

It's natural to feel some skepticism when a celebrity makes a documentary about their own family. But Law & Order star Mariska Hargitay' tells a story that is both effective and empathetic.

This was a nice lowkey weekend catching up with friends and playing games. Pictured are Skyjo (light and fun family card game) and Calico (medium weight strategy game). Also tried Living Forest for the first time and it got a thumbs up. #boardgames #bgg #gaming

It’s been #pokemongofest weekend and apparently the Unown are popping up everywhere…

Marchers gambled with potential police intervention and fines to participate in the annual Budapest Pride, which was outlawed by a law passed by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's right-wing governing party.

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

Mountain view today is just lovely 🤩

Deadly sins in order of my interest in celebrating them for a month: Lust Wrath Sloth Gluttony Pride Envy Greed

Thank you @pbs.org! Damn good doc! Ya’ll! Stream “We Got The Funk!” On PBS (or YouTube). Wish it was an entire series, I want more.

Finally! 🙌🏼
