Lorimar was really out there with Dallas AND Knot’s Landing AND Falcon Crest at the same time.

Any guesses how many of these notecards I’ll end up using for the Myrna project? Haha, jokes on you- probably all them. Not pictured: the four index card boxes that will house them.

Like 5'3" murder hobos, Canadians making poor choices, the evil of government bureaucracy, cabin three ways, and not anticipating the plans of Lady Deathstrike? Has Daryl got a book for you!

Catch all those #AlphaFlight references in the latest episode of #Xmen97? Want to read more about them? Well then, have I got the book for you!

Post Two Movies from One Director to show Their Range Robert Wise

Bought the digital bundle of the entire “Falcon Crest” series. Oof, they need to remaster the first season. The source they used not only has jumpy frames, but the soundtrack wavers. Did they use VHS that had been left in the sun for this?

Welp, there goes my respect for Ginger Rogers.

if you think your life is bad always remember that Charles Dickens gaslit his wife and tried to have her committed so he could end the marriage and get with his 18-year old mistress

Legit, @archive.org just saved my research cookies again because they have a single episode of "Love, Sidney," and it just so happens to be Myrna's final on screen performance. Fun fact: it was first show to have a gay lead character, so it's so special that Myrna was on an episode.

There's nothing quite so reassuring as backing up your research files to not one, but two other locations.

The historic ‘Gold Medal Flour’ sign, Minneapolis, Minnesota.The current temperature is 87°F with a heat index of 90°F and an air quality index of 287, in the “very unhealthy” range. Carbon dioxide emissions from human combustion of hydrocarbons is a primary driver of climate change.

Myrna’s hat!!!

The Babbitt Municipal building, about 20 minutes south of Ely, is open from 8 a.m. until 9 p.m. Organizers say the center is available for evacuees to clean up, rest and get information about what to do next.

This episode is basically a primer for @saracentury.bsky.social's upcoming Elizabeth Taylor zine, which means it's essential listening.

Happy 80th birthday to #LindaRonstadt! One of the joys of writing a book about her solo career was digging into non-album tracks to bring them to the attention of folks. Here are a few of my favorites!

Shout out to the hardworking archivists at presidential museums. In terms of consistency, they are the most responsive and intuitive folks I have worked with on the #MyrnaLoy project. Not to say others aren’t also phenomenal! But the National Archives system has great folks working for it.

I legit love this film- it’s a glorified clip show, but the interstitials between clips hosted by legends are the real treat. My favorite may be Elizabeth Taylor.

But I thought those same people who aren’t standing up are also those who “bring joy” to their work in Congress that “love the world”? But perhaps it doesn’t matter because, like Lindsey Graham, it’s “not about the ups and downs of [their] policy positions.”

Pro tip: it's spelled d-i-a-r-r-h-e-a.

I've loved this movie for as long as I can remember.

I noticed this about my own pulls about nine months ago. I read a ton of DC, but I can count my monthly Marvel pulls on two fingers.

Samantha the Goose. Sorry I didn’t know about you until this morning, queen, but now I will spread your gospel. *immediately tracks down copy of William Wyler’s “Friendly Persuasion”*

The "Exodus" soundtrack slaps, folks.

Extremely grateful to @americanfilm.bsky.social for sharing resources regarding their tribute to William Wyler- I’m excited to dig in and watch it this week and hear what all the stars (especially Myrna!) have to say.

Sam Neill- what an actor. Thanks for being a part of one of my favorite movies growing up. To me, he was truly a legend.

Paging @saracentury.bsky.social

Love how Klobuchar’s social media team didn’t bother posting her thoughts about Lindsey Graham here because she would, rightly, be castigated for those thoughts.

This week’s research is focused on Myrna Loy in 1968 and goodness, what an absolute badass of a person. Can’t wait to write about this.

This is a really fun movie. Highly recommend!

Take a deep dive into the songs of #StevieNicks! From her time with #FleetwoodMac, to her solo career, and everything before and after- I cover it all! You can grab it online or request your fave independent bookstore order you a copy! #booksky amzn.to/4fsu4Bb

“Le Pape Formose et Étienne VI” by Jean-Paul Laurens The drama! The messiness! The whole “I’m putting my Pope predecessor on trial and by the way, he’s super dead”!

Oh right and pre-order for Elizabeth Taylor zine, I'm pulling it together and it's a banger: sara-century.square.site

After listening to the latest @fadeoutpod.bsky.social episode and learning about Boom! (and @saracentury.bsky.social including it in her upcoming #ElizabethTaylor zine) I looked up the trailer and within 20 seconds, knew I had to watch it. And it's available (for free!) on YouTube!

A very early talkie appearance from Myrna in this one! Speaking of very early, I was for sure not up to catch this, but luckily I have it on DVD.

My favorite #MyrnaLoy movie- which is saying a lot, because I (obviously) love her in everything. It’s a must-see! This movie means so much to me that I own some of Myrna’s collection of photos from the movie (which I am so excited to show @saracentury.bsky.social in a couple months)!

It really is a good Myrna day! Tune in to see this Loy/Powell classic with the deft touch of Woody Van Dyke’s direction. It’s such a fun movie! #TCMparty

Good research news today! - Confirmed details of scope and visit for next month - I will be digging into material unseen since Myrna's estate sent it off decades ago! Records don't exist for it - Requested copy of a cassette that contains the only known recording of a well-publicized interview

This is a JOURNEY. I am so glad the folks at @bonabooks.bsky.social put in the work to catch this and make sure AI didn't end up in a work that boosts queer voices.

Happy birthday, Ringo Starr! You’ll always be the Mock Turtle from Irwin Allen’s “Alice in Wonderland” (1985) to me!

Having never written fiction before, I was pleasantly surprised to set a timer and somehow wrote 2,000 words in an hour? What is this devilry?

Who else is celebrating X-Men 97?1? I have an exclusive line of bags (with custom @artoflucas.bsky.social #xmen fabric) that are handmade and designed (by me!) for comics lovers. Three different strap/fabric combos are currently in stock! www.etsy.com/shop/NerdGoo...

This week’s episode of House of the Dragon is the perfect synthesis of Millennial burnout and “another fucking thing I have to deal with?!?” which, honestly, are probably one and the same.

Writing non-faction comes with many types of breakthroughs, but one of the most enjoyable is when you figure out EXACTLY how to organize your research to enable the writing process. It can be different for each project, so finding the vibe for the current project is gold.

Made @boreasrex.bsky.social a meme in realtime and sent it to him from across the couch. #passions

Sorry, but “Passions” is just the vibe lately.

Last night, @boreasrex.bsky.social and I cracked open a few boosters while recording an audio podcast. Do we know how to play Magic the Gathering? Nope! But that didn’t stop us from having a bit of fun. Short episode out now.

it will always be Big Mean Carl he is, sadly, so criminally underused that most people don’t even know him he needs a better agent

I think my first big task (after research) is to make a timeline of where Myrna was and why. For example, what do you mean she was at the premiere of "Thoroughly Modern Millie"?!?! So was Ethel Merman! And, of course, so was Carol Channing. Did they chat? History always gives me more questions!
