Performing arts majors, English majors, sociology, and anthropology majors are my favorite hires. I can teach job knowledge, but those majors generally come knowing human behavior, presence, storytelling, critical thinking, and empathy.

Where is that marvelous dinner party of animals?

Skeletons of Clintonville, perhaps metaphorical.

I have to write S or C on the shampoo/conditioner because they aren't legible in the morning bathroom dim. Looking especially at you, Monday hair products. (To be fair, I'm squinting at them.)

The fabled ghost cat of Clintonville. Makes the blood run cold, no?

You are the rightest person who has ever been right.

I guess I never considered before now that hedges didn't just...happen.

I am here for ghost ducks. I am even more here for affluent ghost ducks. This feels like the making of a good gothic horror. House of Quack: Fair is Fowl.

This guy has never looked smart, not even once, in his life. #caturday

Do not besmirch her Good Name! Hail Dido the Archives Cat!

This folklore charity is doing good work both in the UK and elsewhere. Folklorists, librarians, and storytellers are part of the good fight.

I hope it goes well, and best wishes to you and yours.

As we speak, my orange fluffy boy is behind me, making horrendously unpleasant sound as he sucks on his toe fuzzles. What a love.

That is a fine specimen of catkind.

I have my ticket! Do you?

@folklorepod.bsky.social Not sure if you were aware such things ever existed.

Two skeletons with hats in lawn chairs with a skeleton dog pawing at the dirt nearby

Happy skeleton season to those who celebrate.

unusually is such an unusual word.

If either of us decide to go Evil Mastermind, let's make this a business plan.

"Wrong" is such a strong word...

A whole lot of bad things. Don't leave me.

Any insurance companies offering ICE protection packages yet? (Should include legal aid, ID theft, etc.) What protections would you and your family need if a parent and wage earner was "papers pleased" out of sight? What would happen to mortgage/rent, childcare, car payments, cell phone, etc?

And why are the Democratic leaders thinking the message that will resonate with us is *checks notes* government efficiency?

A Good Dog who would not be of much help in a ghost story

I finished reading Susan Hill's deliciously chilling "The Woman in Black" last night and it got me thinking. Who are the Very Good Dogs of ghost stories? I'll start...

1. Spider from The Woman in Black
2. Uno, Eino, and Cumptico-Calico from Tailypo

Who else? Call out the Very Good Dogs here...

i'm still here. Is it because they haven't started work yet? Is there a switch to flip?

There have been 6 mass shootings in the USA over the past 24 hours. The casualty count stands at 41.

Here’s the President of the United States of America.

I am concerned. And not sure how much functionality will be lost if I don't verify.

Right? I am a big fan of kitsch, and damp dining sounds brilliant.
