Watching a bunch of space disaster movie moments, and now I’m wondering why my dad put his 3 year old in front of Apollo 13???

Yes, I watched the whole movie.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

Did a bunch of revisions tonight. I'm glad I haven't looked at the novella since October. I got feel impressed and concerned by my own writing.

I love it when the Girl Scouts make it easier for me to give them money.

people who insist that trump is the whole problem are super dangerous because they will prevent us from addressing root causes

I just read the comic last month and I immediately was like, they are perfect for the job.

My local Girl Scouts did this and they also take venmo. They might as well have reached directly into my wallet.

One hundred and sixty-five children were killed in a U.S.-Israeli strike on their elementary school. This is an aerial image of the graves being prepared for their bodies.

I defy anyone to justify this.

this is literally a plot point in 'I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter'

Remembering, for no reason at all, being told to listen to and uplift genre authors during the first Trump administration, because they were doing the work and telling truths and providing hope, and it turns out they all worked for weapons manufacturers

Just remembering that a bit today

Using the Mary Tyler Moore Show theme as part of the ending was a CHOICE. Mary Richards and Christine Chubbuck are certainly dark mirrors of the other.

Watched Christine (2016), I’ve always felt a deep sympathy for Ms Chubbuck, and I thought the film did a good job of not telling her story too salaciously. Rebecca Hall is excellent as usual.

He came to give a presentation to my confirmation group when I was in high school. I was the only one who knew who he was. We chatted for a bit afterwards. Nice guy.

Elizabeth's essay really delves into the way our culture fails to see women's voices as authoritative, important, or deeply relevant -- and why that makes it so hard for women to be as read within the horror genre.

Text from the book: β€œAlfred,” she said, β€œnow I can tell you about the green ribbon. Untie it, and you will see why I could not tell you before.” Slowly and carefully, Alfred untied the ribbon and Jenny’s head fell off. The second page is Jenny’s head laying on the rug after her ribbon has been untied. A black cat stairs at her head.

Also the library staff thought β€œgraphic novels and comics = kids’ books” so I was luckily able to find titles I would not have found otherwise.

It’s one of the most unsettling things I’ve seen in ages. I’m not into Minecraft either, but I’m so impressed by what people can do with it.

Persepolis is an all time favorite of mine. I was lucky that my public library had a huge collection of graphic novels, it was how I read Maus too.

Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..
