I can never get through that Wilma/Homer bedroom scene without 😭😭😭.

This Ladies Room/Fun House Mirror sequence is amazing and disorienting. You never know when you're actually looking at them vs. their reflections. #TheBestYearsOfOurLives #TCMParty

"Shut up Al." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I also think about how that is a big moment in her young life. Yes, she works in a hospital. But here she's confronting the war's reality in her own home. She grows up A LOT in that scene (even though she was already very mature). So that scene isn't just Fred's. #TheBestYearsofOurLives #TCMParty

Feed The Kitty. A masterpiece of storytelling, not just in cartoons.

The two main characters from Vertigo looking at a pink strapless bra. Jimmy Steward on the right bending down. Barbara Bel Geddes standing to the left.

A mid-century cantilevered house - a large sunroom off the right, supported by beams at an angle.

Hitch liked the cantilever design! #NorthByNorthwest #Vertigo #TCMParty

Truth

Leadership from the top down, I’d say.

When she says, “don’t you touch him.” 😭 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Yes!!! Such an awful scene!

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Music nerd alert. At the end of “Somewhere,” Bernstein has the basses play a low tonic (a total consonance) when there’s still a bit of hope for them. But at the end, when the orchestra plays the last 2 notes of “Somewhere,” the basses play a tritone below tonic. 👿 #ominous #WestSideStory #TCMParty

Can anybody here even imagine going over a chain-link fence that high like that? Much less actually it? 😝 #WestSideStory #TCMParty

Totally!!!

A house at night with Christmas decor still up. Window has a huge NO ICE lights display (red cross out circle in lights over the word ice in blue lights)

Seen in Minneapolis

“Tonight” and “Gee, Officer Krupke” both seem too low for the singers. I always wondered why Bernstein pitched it that way. 🤷‍♀️ You can hear that the guys can’t even quite sing it in tune when it gets too low in their range. #WestSideStory #TCMParty

Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything.

Fishtopher, a classic brown tabby cat with green eyes, sits in a sunbeam. He is brightly illuminated and looks out into the distance. His pupils are small from the light, and he looks relaxed but alert. He places his front feet together politely, with his tail curled towards his body. Matilda, a white and brown tabby cat, sits on a basket in the background, but is slightly blurry.

sunning + stunning

After watching the NAACP awards last night it occurred to me, why don't we have an award show just for women? A room of people who don't have to explain OUR stories. #WomensHistoryMonth.

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem “9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

This is how February felt for me 😆😅

“If Kamala wins, only death and destruction await because she is the candidate of endless wars. I am the candidate of peace. I am peace.” - Trump, 11/1/24

“I’m not going to start a war, I’m going to stop wars.” - Trump, 11/5/24

Screenshot of an X post by journalist Sam Stein stating that DHS claimed it left a man at a coffee shop described as a “warm, safe location,” but video later showed it was the middle of the night, cold, and the coffee shop was closed.

Screenshot of an X post from the official Homeland Security account titled “Here are the FACTS.” The statement says Buffalo Police alerted Border Patrol about a non-citizen, that Mr. Shah Alam entered the U.S. as a refugee in December 2024, was not amenable to removal, and accepted a courtesy ride to a coffee shop described as a warm, safe location. It adds that he showed no signs of distress or disability requiring assistance.

This is negligent homicide. We demand justice for Shah Alam and his family. He was nearly blind, and they left him five miles from his home, forced to try to walk home alone in the dark and the freezing cold.

the fact the president of the united states is even thinking about asserting emergency powers to disrupt an election - just a few years after he incited an armed coup attempt - should be the top issue. but the media mostly shrugs and the opposition doesnt focus on it.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

A Tale of Two Teams—Why Trump’s Joke Wasn't Funny Locker room "jokes" contribute to a bigger problem with how women are treated.

Both U.S. Olympic hockey teams won gold. But only the men got a presidential call and celebration, while the women were met with a joke at their expense. The contrast isn’t just about sports. It’s about how respect, power, and attention are allocated in our culture.
