such over complicated horse shit

nothing proves that there are different kinds of intelligence quite like some people’s absolute insistence that cooking requires directions to the absolute minutiae or no one could ever possibly do it correctly

no, some of us are actually just… observant and can figure things out

he blipped in for one second in something i was watching the other day and i almost squealed. it’s a nod to the quality of the flick if he’s in it, no matter how briefly

like, on the one hand i have absolutely had pumpkin and garlic together in savory applications but garlic pumpkin pie sounds like torture

oh there is 😂 my friend and i once tried making pot brownies in our whole-dorm kitchen and to mask the smell, made garlic bread with tons (TONS!!!!) of garlic and not only was the garlic bread inedible, the brownies tasted like pot and garlic, too

i assume if you’re making one, you’ve eaten a pumpkin pie & garlic would obvs be a wrong ingredient to anyone with tastebuds. so i’d go to the grocery store and ask a person there-like the oldest woman on staff- to point me to the cloves for a pie? but i admit i have no issue with looking silly

how dare you speak such things into the universe

bud, just get a normal job and go to it every day!

I honestly had to stop watching because I do demand a certain level of competence from characters and Poldark does not have ANY

he gets shot the second time and just mutters “that’s never gonna heal”

i was CRYING laughing at that.

this is literally terrifying, i have often truly believed people who can’t cook just don’t have the practice but this is… this is something ELSE.

did you know you could log into your library app RIGHT NOW and borrow Viviana Valentine Gets Her Man in eBook? you should try it.

it’s so good!

i just picked up a notepad with my notes for @ticklishbiz.bsky.social's episode on NOSFERATU and the first bullet is "i love that every iteration of dracula knows that jonathan is an idiot"

I went to the largest high school in my (blue, northeastern) state and a fair number of junior and senior girls were already pregnant and engaged or had kids and were married. It's a whole thing and it sucks.

I may not ever ever get another book traditionally published but that's better than most people.

The faintest glimmer of hope that I have is that my book series sold like absolute dirt but I still earned out on that advance to the point that two years after the 3rd book's release, I still get a few thousand a year in royalties.

Take that, statistics.

Male loneliness will continue until the whole damn system improves. I used to care about changing men's hearts and minds. Now what I want for women is rights and money.

Late November has arrived, and with it, thoughts of being together with loved ones in the days and weeks ahead. December 15th is the day our son, Connor, would’ve been celebrating his 32nd birthday. In 2020, we lost him to his struggles with mental health issues and substance use. We began The Connor Sheehan Fund to provide support for programs that help teens, their families, and schools to identify mental health issues and substance use disorders among young people, and to promote awareness, communication and education about youth mental health in our communities. Visit our page at connorfund.org to learn about what we have accomplished so far. And if you are able, please help us do even more in 2026 by giving whatever you can. Thank you, Dan

If you enjoy my posts and games about movies and film music, I ask you to take just 30 seconds to read this.
And on Giving Tuesday, it would mean the world to me if you - my followers and friends here on Bluesky - could help us in any way you can at connorfund.org
Peace.

it's so annoying!! it's a massive file and i do not want or need it on my computer!

Dear GarageBand:

I literally never want to re-download the essential sounds library. How have I been using this program for 6+ years and still do not have the option to tell you to never try to download the sounds library ever again?

I love Kristen so much and her book is wonderful. Add POPCORN DISABILITIES to your reading list/holiday purchasing NOW.

i bought a secondhand copy of PURE MOODS off of ebay when i was in college and honestly? some of it, as the kids say, slaps.

it’s surprisingly good. a couple of the bits start out as really cringey but what he & reiner are mocking is worthy of being mocked, so it pans out

thank YOU!

Hate-watching isn't anyone's friend.

For every misstep Murphy makes he makes a really strong, succinct message about a real thing that everyone needs to know about.

You are rarely going to hurt a corporation enough by pirating their output to make it matter. You are *absolutely* hurting a creative person and the support/production staff by pirating their output.
