Correction: we were there for four nights. On the third, I was laying in bed with my eyes shut, trying to sleep. I had the overwhelming sense of being watched, like something was right by my face. I refused to open my eyes. I told it to get lost. Fourth night was giggles.

At first I thought you were going to watch all three in one sitting, and wow that's a lot of Argento for one evening. Whew.

Thank you so much for sharing.

‘Poses with ‘Possums’ offers chance to move, connect with nature and raise awareness Downward ‘possum might not be a traditional yoga pose but Shadow, Twig and Flapjack are trying to change that.

Tired: Goat yoga.

Wired: Opossum yoga.

Yes, you read that correctly. Yoga with friendly opossums is an actual thing in Indiana. Check out the photos for a small dose of joy.

A stage is indirectly lit by soft blue light. Behind a podium, a projector screen displays the cover art for author Grady Hendrix's new book, "Witchcraft for Wayward Girls." The art consists of an ethereal hand rising from a black and turquoise lava lamp.

A most enjoyable evening.

I miss Sassy Magazine.

In other news, I’m going back to school because tech is literally killing me with the stress of the constant search for work.

I’m a Black single mom with PTSD and ADHD and could *really* use your help bridging the income gap. Please help?

The banner image on my profile is the woods where I grew up. It makes me smile every time I look at the photo. I love where I live now, but I will never not miss where I grew up. My only regret about moving away is that we don't have teleporters yet,

Well! Infinity Nikki was suggested to me, and my entire evening just went poof! Definitely magic.

I bet your local library could help with this. They repair books all the time. Paperbacks are probably trickier than hardbound, but I bet they could point you in the right direction.

For those going home to visit family this weekend:

• Samsung calls it Auto Motion Plus
• LG calls it TruMotion
• Sony calls it Motionflow
• Roku calls it Action Smoothing
• Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement
• Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect.

I'm sorry, Misi. That must have been a very difficult decision to make.

I don't post much. I've always been more of a lurker. But I'm here.

@margueritekenner.bsky.social Alex told me to go look at your Twiglet photos and I'm so glad I did. What a cutie! 😻

Peachtree Corners / Dunwoody area. Haven't seen or heard any at all! I'm not terribly disappointed, but I was expecting to at least see a few.

I'm glad you're seeing them, too! 💜 I am surprised I haven't seen a single cicada after all the hype. They apparently didn't make it to my neck of the woods.

I've been seeing a lot of fireflies this year. It makes me very happy.

I did. Can confirm, it was pretty epic. It was a raucous crowd; lots of folks screaming and yelling (telling Neo what to do / not to do, etc). I'll always remember the experience.

It's been a trying week here as well. Let us both enjoy some relaxation this weekend!

Nitzer Ebb makes for excellent workout music. MUSCLE AND HATE!

I just spent five minutes looking for my phone, which I was holding in my right hand the entire time. So how's your Monday going?

Mental illness is illness. It's not a fucking moral failing.

I've been there. I'm so sorry.
