people who think the count of monte cristo is just a straightforward tale of a dude escaping a prison and revenging himself miss out on quality subplots like "the count is foiled by the power of lesbianism," "the case of the serial domestic poisoner" and "let's talk shit about italian food"

watching a 1978 clip of the Village People miming "YMCA" from 1992's American Bandstand 40th Special and scratching my head at how a song about same sex hookups at a hostel somehow leapfrogged Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" to become America's "Horst-Wessel Leid"

Thank you for sharing. Scanxiety is real. I have metastatic bladder Ca after being told after my first round of treatment that I was cured. Dealing with cancer is NOT a
battle or a fight. That puts the responsibility of getting better squarely on the shoulders of the patient.

A photo of snowdrops and a scilla in a floodplain forest. Only one snowdrop is in focus - there is a blurred silhouette of a scilla in the background and more blurred snowdrops in the fore- and background.
Blue tones dominate the scene - the white balance has been tweaked to blue.
Happy weekend!

Snowdrops in the floodplain forest not far from my home - again shot with the Canon RF 135/1.8 L. This time with the white balance in blue.
