How to Protest Safely: What to Bring, What to Do, and What to Avoid If you’re planning to hit the streets, here’s what you need to know.

He was nowhere near me. He was sneezing his face off (the grass had just been cut) like 100 ft away. Wasn't even facing my direction. So I like to think it was that unnamed lady. 2/2

I was in a cemetery in Texas and I saw a headstone that just said "Mrs. <So-and-so>" and I was mad about it so I said to my bf "look at this bullshit. She didn't even get her own name in death. Fuck the patriarchy." And he patted me on the back in solidarity. Except when I turned around... 1/2

Hell yeah! Get ready for a super weird codependent relationship!

I missed #ShamelessSelfPromo Monday and today I fell at work and skinned my knee. Coincidence?? I think not. It's Oct so I'm doing my annual Horror Watch. Currently up on the blog are Weapons (25), The Meg (18), House on Eden (25), CAM (18), Match (25), Dead of Night (1945), & Haunted Mansion (23).

This would actually fix me.

Then Toad felt very tired, and he fell asleep.

Sign the Petition Help us honor Warren Zevon with a City Square!

There’s a petition to name the site of the old the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel Warren Zevon Square. Warren’s song, Desperados Under the Eaves, is one of the great odes to Los Angeles. Please sign the petition so we can make Zevon Square happen.

Didn't post anything this weekend because I was sick but you should definitely see Weapons (2025).

It's Wednesday and I just realized I never did #ShamelessSelfPromo on Monday. Up this week are Wilson (1944), a repost of Total Recall (1990), and Miami Vice (2006). Cinemalucyano.blogspot.com

If you had a federal grant focused on #Autism or #ActuallyAutistic people canceled, I'd love to speak with you. My Signal is emgarcia.85. Thank you.

It's such a strange, revealing argument. Why should any of us give a shit about protecting people in Epstein's files? Why do they think we do? Since when is the most sacred tenet of society "privacy for relationships of the rich & powerful with the pedophile child trafficker"? Reveal them all.

Yes. Excellent. I briefly played Magic: the Gathering against those same type dudes and the unbridled joy I got from defeating them knows no equal.

Haven't done a #ShamelessSelfPromo in a while. This week we have documentary shorts Pear Cider & Cigarettes (2017), Blind Vaysha (2017), 4.1 Miles (2017), and Pokemon: The First Movie (1999) up on the blog. cinemalucyano.blogspot.com

An amino acid from plastic, air, and water Creative reaction sequence converts waste plastic to amino acid

A hybrid catalytic system can synthesize the amino acid alanine directly from used bioplastic, air, and water. The system could enable the recycling of waste plastic but also makes a valuable product from a cheap feedstock and without dangerous or expensive reagents. cen.acs.org/synthesis/ca... 🧪

ok #booksky do your thing

When my dad was about 11, so somewhere around 1950 to 1952, he read a series of non-fiction books, probably aimed at children, about American Indian chiefs, which he loved tremendously but doesn't know much more about other than their subject matter.

Anybody got a lead?

Tim Roth said in an interview that he approached the character as a football hooligan. Like, that's the energy he was going for.

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

In the film The Princess Bride, a spectacular duel is fought atop the Cliffs of Insanity between a man in black, who we will later know as the Dread Pirate Roberts (and still later as Buttercup’s beloved farm boy, Wesley), and Inigo Montoya, the Spaniard.

I love the Farseer books. An excellent choice.

If you have some cash to spare (or want to tip me for my megathread earlier this week) my friend Jay really needs a hand! If you don't have some cash to spare, reposts help a lot too. I've known them for decades and can vouch for them 100%.

In the days of lovely Twitter I often put out a call for help with research in writing my books. So here goes, Bluskiers.

I'm looking for a social worker (adoption/fostering preferably) and a probation officer who worked between 2008 and 2012, the more senior the better.

Please share :)

Read Pope Leo XIV's first homily as pope During his homily, delivered in Italian, Leo XIV said that Christians must serve a world that is often hostile to their beliefs.

Pope Leo's first sermon and, uh, his using the phrase "be ever more fully a city set upon a hill" and cf'ing it to Rev 21:10 instead of any of the others before saying "many baptized Christians" are "living in a state of practical atheism" is. Well. Shots fired!

Time to throw up a bat signal for a specific skillset for @skypeascientist.bsky.social

We have a classroom that is looking for a scientist who can do a session with them in ASL.

Do we know any scientists who would be willing to do a Q&A with a deaf classroom in ASL?
