I'm watching Mommy Dearest for the first time and amusing myself during the funeral viewing scene by saying stupid things in a demonic voice as Christina walks away from the casket. "Tiiiiiiiina...make me a sandwich" "Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiina...shave your head" I've probably been awake too long. 🤷‍♀️

A long time friend and frequent guest of my grandfather, Don Perkins, had years before been convicted of csa. Granddad wrote a character reference letter for him. He looked and sounded like what people think of for "predator." But most predators just look like everyone.

My biography of Elliott Smith is written mostly from oral history—hundreds of hours of interviews with 140 sources. It centers the lives of the people who loved him instead of treating them like talking heads in someone else’s story www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/744288...
Starting with his childhood in Texas, following him through his making as an artist in Portland and New York, and reckoning honestly with his unmaking in Los Angeles, Fisher has used never-before-seen archival evidence (unheard recordings, draft lyrics, photos, and correspondence) alongside extensive interviews with friends, family, girlfriends, and collaborators to shed light on the real Elliott Smith, in all his complexity.

Vividly animating Elliott’s world and analyzing his work and legacy in loving depth, Nobody Broke Your Heart is an essential book for anyone who loves Elliott Smith and his music—and anyone who’s loved someone grappling with addiction and mental illness.

Just comparing the stenographic account of fantasizing about catastrophic mass casualties with the one shot full of drama and high stakes of an obvious gaffe.
Bayliss Wagner
Political reporter

After justifying the Iran war as necessary for "keeping the world safe," Trump suggested there could be strikes on the United States, including certain cities in California.
"They could take out a city," he said. "Let them take-Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego."coin-toss election, where any small shift theoretically could be decisive, Mr. Biden has twice caused headaches for his vice president with ill-timed gaffes. His latest, during a video call with Latino supporters on Tuesday night, forced Ms. Harris to spend part of the last Wednesday of her campaign distancing herself.
Mr. Biden was denouncing racist comments made by a speaker at a recent Donald J. Trump rally when he appeared to call supporters of Mr.
Trump "garbage." He later explained that he meant that "the hateful rhetoric" from the Trump surrogate was
"garbage," not his supporters generally.
But Republicans, expressing umbrage, quickly pounced on what they hoped

Our dear dear friend Haley at @friendsofbear.bsky.social has a very sick, sweet geriatric kitty who is in the hospital dealing with some stuff. She posted on her IG that all she’d like for her birthday today is some donations for his care: linktr.ee/friendsofbear
An orange tabby cat who is a bit old and scrungly sleeping inside a cubby bed.An old orange tabby cat who is a bit disheveled and scrungly, looking quite under the weather with an IV catheter in one leg and a kind hand scritching his cheek gently.friendsofbearcatrescue one of my favorite little FoB sanctuary buddies Mr. Peaches is currently in the hospital
no pressure but it's my birthday today
and I would love nothing more than if you could donate toward his hospital bill so we can give him the best chance
our donation links are in our bio!
Peaches came to us at the end of May after 13 hard years on the street. His time outside definitely showed, he was in horrendous shape and weighed 5
Ibs of mostly fleas. Since then, we have been managing his various conditions. He's dealt with anemia, congestion, gastric ulcers, kidney disease, horrible dental disease... the list goes on. We've been slowly chipping away at these issues and he was actually starting to feel pretty good! A couple weeks ago, he started backsliding and I've been trying to figure him out. This weekend, it became clear he was declining and what I was doing at home wasn't enough, so I had to admit him to the hospital.
Peaches is dealing with an infection, dehydration, another gastric ulcer, pretty awful congestion and a mild hit to his kidneys. Thankfully, after 24 hrs of fluids, he's showing improvement. Through all of this, he continues to have the loudest purr and best headbutts for everyone who helps him
I feel hopeful that we can get Peaches back on track and give him more time to feel loved and cherished, something he missed out on for his first 13 years of life. If you're able to pitch in $1 or $5 toward his care, we would all appreciate it more than you know.
Everyone who has met this little guy knows how special he is and how much he wants to stick around
thank you all as always for the ongoing support for these gross cats, they are my heart and soul and your donations and kind comments mean the world to me
