This is a great scen to add to the list:
I hope you have a nice night.
I hope you look at the stars with wonder.
I hope you're never lost in the catacombs without a lantern.
I hope you're always able to find room for one more book on your bookshelves.
I hope you feel at home in the forest, because you're always welcome there.
Yikes, sounds like a difficult spot.

Hi, Mina!
Last month, Secretary Kennedy had a press conference where he claimed that the original intent of the ADA was to exclude trans people. So I asked a bunch of experts and someone who was actually there.
Who is it for?
Literally everyone. For everyone who felt physics wasn’t for them. For the math anxious. For people who see whole universes in Langston Hughes poems. For the non-binary kids who didn’t know the neutrino was kinda like them. 🧪
More on this here:
A great moment to remind people, from my own roots in the Bluegrass / Mountain Music community:
Sea Shanties are Black Music.
From a thread I posted on Twitter way back when, when The Wellerman was having a moment:
Given the interactions between Black slaves and workers with sailors in the various ports of the 18th century, the translation of "Black dockworkers use songs to organize when to lift/pull/haul/stay," to "European sailors think this is a good idea, copy them" is a straight line.
A lot of shanties preserve bits of this history in their lyrics.
I said, in the first post, that Sea Shanties were Black Music. That's true, if not exclusively so. They're also Celt music, just by way of for instance.
It might be better to say, that they're American music.
And American Music is Black Music.
Let's not ignore that.
Cheers.
To my ears, waulking songs have the same appeal as shanties. I can't help wondering if they didn't share the recent upswing shanties have had in part because they're traditionally women's songs.
KOSA is the newest bill set to hurt the online landscape.
But what does it mean for you?

Statler was and is very loved, and both his and other bat sanctuaries and rehabbers are still making sure more bats can either return to the wild or live out lives like his.
I suspect the usual shape of modern guitars was designed by a cis woman.
So much cute in these photos!
Do you see trans people as people?
Do you see their transness as valid, acceptible?
Do you see trans people as vulnerable, esp now?
What power do you see trans folks as having? Do they have a right to their voices?
What do you know about trans folks and who put out that information and why?

My favorite country music involves ghosts, trains, or ghost trains, but this is pretty good stuff.

Peter and the Wolf. I get it, and I won't tell anyone not to play it, but (1) the story is meh, (2) it's just not my favorite example of leitmotifs, and (3) everything by Prokofiev sounds the same, so I'd rather just take Dance of the Knights and leave the rest.
youraislopbores.me interaction. My prompt: "There was a great big moose! He liked to drink a lot of juice." Their drawing: A moose and a glass of juice, and the words "this sounds like a reference".
Very observant.
youraislopbores.me interaction: I asked for "Giant robot!" and someone drew exactly that, remarkably clearly. It has a classic boxy shape with noodly arms and legs and C-shaped hands. It is towering over skyscrapers.
Giant robot! I am impressed.
Thanks! I'll check my library.
Annie is a Christmas movie.
