Are you also watching School Spirits? That show has some twists.
My kids got this from both me and my husband. What? You didn't raise yours on 1930s cartoons, fairy tales by the Grimms, silent film, and sci-fi?
And that's a small sample of what they got from me.
Thank you for your creation.
Y'all. If you haven't read the Sandman Slim series, you might want to get right before this one makes it into print.
And go look for some Maledictions while you're at it.
I'm ridiculously excited to read this.
Please take care of yourself.
I'm with you. Not seeing a downside here.
I really hope they're not getting ready for anything nasty.
Can it be Thursday already?
Looks like monopolies are back on the menu, boys. And by menu I mean as options.
Star Trek Into Darkness may have had its issues, but it also had this song:
It's a relief to see someone else say this. I can read it reasonably well, but don't ask me to speak.
I may experience the caffeine poisoning today. I teach four classes.
Have you ever set a new assignment, sat down to grade it, and realised that your students have performed wildly above your expectations?

timeline cleanse for all the Iranian invasion doomscrollers. It's a beautiful place and everyone is not a bearded crazy mullah: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB4U...
I've loved The Birdcage for so many reasons and for so long. This just adds to it.
I'm always down for a little more whimsy in my life.
Thank you for standing up for and with all of us, sister.
Go check out some of the fine options gathered by Ben.
My ginger girl is almost always in the same room with me, but I'm with you in the other two cats.
Boudicca and her posse
Tonight on Silent Film Fridays, we're diving into the briny deep with 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1916, dir. Paton, Universal). We'll dip our toes in at 8 pm Eastern over at stream.place. Join us, won't you?

Star Trek has done more to shape me in a positive way than a lot of other influences during my life.
The shirt got stained at some point, so I fixed it with a patch I made myself.
I'm sorry you're feeling that, friend. I'm in survival mode and understand how it feels.
This is beautiful. My students seemed intrigued when I showed them early television designs and explained that some of them were designed as decor as much as an entertainment device.
I just taught about this!
Key: me - flute, piano, and I'm learning the mandolin
Alex: flute, bassoon, banjo
B: clarinet, piano
S: trombone, violin
M: saxophone
J is the only one who doesn't play an instrument, but that's okay. He can put that baritone voice to use along with the rest of us.
