Happened upon Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom on a roku channel. I haven't watched this one in a long long time.

I can't watch now - too many creepy crawlies too close to bed time but......

........

...... Harrison Ford is handsome?!

This came out when I was little but hmm

No bb. Noooooo! Lemme ship you some bubble wrap

"Don't get too excited, because-" Nah, how about you shut the fuck up. All the way up.

Let people have a crumb of joy, you miserable fucks, my GOD.

I promise, you can go back to posting "We're so fucked" and then not doing anything to stop it thrice daily tomorrow.

All jokes aside, people from across the country are invested in Zohran Mamdani winning because the people need hope.

Folks are feeling run down. Things are bleak. We need proof that our neighbors still know how to make the right choice and that change is possible.

I HAVE HIT A WALL

Don't Hesitate by Mary Oliver If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that’s often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.

Thinking about this Mary Oliver poem this morning. Don't hesitate.

the reason republicans lost yesterday is because theyre a bunch of weird freaks pushing policy that everyone hates

There were a couple of writers i was reading at that time where it felt like the editors just gave them massive control & the storytelling went off the rails.

I stuck it out for Edward too. I loved the essence of that series & I mourn it

CDC Figures It Easier To Start Tracking People Without Measles ATLANTA—As the agency struggles to manage a measles caseload that has erupted to its largest size in decades, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated Monday that at this point, it would ...

CDC Figures It Easier To Start Tracking People Without Measles

This post managed to mind wipe me. I know I've read some but pffffft if it's in there

What We Lost When Condé Nast Unceremoniously Shuttered Teen Vogue This article is part of TPM Cafe, TPM’s home for opinion and news...

if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this.

can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

It took a min for me to find the info on what ghoul died. May you rotisserie in hell

The one consistent thing history has taught us is that white people are exceptionally good at blaming everyone else for the problems rich white people make.

A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social): As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead." But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that" Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

If it's not trouble for you

I do find it interesting in what ways publishing will accept a murderous woman- we are seeing He Had It Coming in the domestic thriller space

But it's interesting & by that I mean sexist cuz men are allowed to be bloodthirsty & morally gray & that's yalls husband. But good forbid a lady has a hobby

That sounds DELIGHTFUL

I SAID IT ON PURPOSE!!! I'm an evil being 78% of the time

Lol forever. I could NEVER skip the book if I can get my hands on it.

Maybe I will try Kate after I finish Hidden Legacy series

Well that sucks. I love big dangerous mysteries

I mourn those books

Hmm I dunno abt historical fiction

Talk to me abt the Kate Daniels books?

I actually don't mind that it's faint. He's adept at world building & the books are very voicey. But I do not trust him with romance.

To some extent Hamilton also couldn't be trusted.

Figured it out. Dresden Files are scratching the itch that Anita Blake used to - tho i feel the AB books grabbed me more. And clearly I'm talking abt before it became orgy central.

I miss the we solve crimes but things are supernatural oh look someone wants to kill us & the romance is a subplot

hire all the fired political teen vogue writers and make a new magazine call teen rogue.

we’ll all subscribe en masse

Ok it's time to shop the stash! What are we currently working on? Feel free to text instead

I will NOT be buying Knitpicks yarn but I have used a lot of it in the past - as well as I have some in the stash

Anyway speaking of knitting, Knit Picks is having their annual big yarn sale 👀. It’s continently timed for me since I’m usually running out of Tree-Rex yarn about now; I use Brava Worsted (held doubled) and Fairy Tale Fur for all my dinos ☺️🧶

Def the skipping
