It comes out next Tuesday.

I am so honored you're willing to give it a try! It takes normal things like looking in the mirror or getting grey hair, and goes larger scale about regarding at oneself and others.

Abigail Adams wrote to her husband to remember the ladies. We really haven't progressed to still be so dependent on men for what are our rights.

A new book comes out next week that I'd love for you and @anotherdemocrat.bsky.social to read. I am not into self-help stuff but Valerie Bertinelli has a book of reflections coming out next week, Getting Naked. I am enjoying her voice and determination to know herself better.

That would have been an awful wait!

We do need to book club books. Frankenstein is deeper and far more tragic.

I remember the premiere of TNG and how thrilling it was, because it was pure Trek.

Dracula is an easier read than Frankenstein. I was going to read them both again last fall but got distracted. (Squirrel! I'm like the dog in Up)

Watched some of the TOS movies again last month. Oh how they hold up and still resonate.

Oops. Found a GIF that was too on point.

Fits in with one of the books I'm currently reading to review.

Mom only let us watch once during the original run. She said she didn't understand the show or know why we would possibly want to watch. Good thing it came back in pre-dinner reruns. We'd try to guess which episode before the first commercial break.

I've only gotten two texts asking for contributions from Talarico and at least one email, the last from Kamala. I hate CItizens United. #inners

It's a fluid recipe that changes daily, in keeping with the "reasons" the regime gives for the war.

Talking about both, plus all the regime warmongering.

Gracias for the tapas!
