Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 24/05/2025Joan Rivers's "Rabbit Test." Billy Crystal as the world's first pregnant man. At the time I thought it was just appalling. For all I know it's aged into a work of genius, but I won't subject myself to it a second time. 000

Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 24/02/2025I don't get it. Is the great ape sick? Otherwise why can't he get the water for himself? If at first he didn't know how to cup his hands, surely he could copy for the second time. And why are they on a craft? Are they just buddies? 🤔 000
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 14/02/2025We just watched this for New Year's Eve! Previous viewing was in a revival house on the Fourth of July! It's a holiday film. 000
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 03/02/2025They don't respect the power of tech or recognize that social media IS public discourse. They're like, "Tik-tok? That app my grandaughter likes, with the dancing? No one important takes that seriously." 000
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 24/01/2025I appreciate your taking the time to engage and I will admit I was being over-sensitive. All the best to you. 000
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Not spoiling for battle -- just, as one of those who don't like to sit in a warmed chair, I wondered why you called people like me odd and funny? It seemed mean, and I questioned the entitlement. Best wishes. 100
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 24/01/2025"Odd" is not the word I would choose -- to me it implies a value judgment, an othering, a disdain. "Curious" or "various" perhaps -- they sound less judgmental to me, and more humane. 100
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Why do you think it's "odd in a funny way" to feel distaste or wish to sit elsewhere? Why do you feel entitled to judge others based on such a preference? 100
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 06/01/2025It seemed like the whole "Mommala trades recipes and buys spices" went on way too long, so unserious. She didnt take the floor for weeks after the nom. Walz was a poor pick and the joint 60 Min interview was bad judgment. And after she lost, silence, no leadership. 000
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 19/12/2024These two little portraits were a test stitch for a larger piece. I figured I'd turn them into simple Christmas ornaments for the tree! #crossstitch #bbcmerlin 140
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 19/12/2024Please please please! Enough with the language of infantilization, ineptitude, insanity. These people possess power and capability. They're talking of shutting it all down till Jan 20! Dems need to do more than mock! They need to decry, to forge an opposition! 040
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 18/12/2024But what is she even saying? - I mean, I know what she's saying, but how is that language helpful or proportionate or respectful of history? I don't think it moves people, it puts people off and diminishes the rhetoric. 030
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 17/12/2024As a Democrat, I've grown so disheartened. Our leaders seem so uncreative, so feckless, so out-maneuvered. They're like dowagers in a Marx Bros movie, responding to offense with only sputtering.media.tenor.coma black and white photo of a man and a womanALT: a black and white photo of a man and a woman 010
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 16/12/2024It's so refreshing here in the Good Place with the Good People. Over there, they'd probably just laugh at something like this. 000
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Exactly! I'm so frustrated by the liberal response to the right, which seems to consist mostly of trying to shame them into acting differently, and then mocking them for failing to be shamed. What I don't see is creative problem solving and actual exercise of power! 030
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 12/12/2024I'm not sure the best response to Trump is to pretend he doesn't exist. 030
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 11/12/2024I have always appreciated your insights, both there and here. One thing I'm looking forward to is opening this app and finding more discussion, and less mutual congratulation for how "nice it is here in the Good Place with the Good People, so much better than the other place with THOSE people." 020
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 09/12/2024"Checked out?" Because they choose not to answer the door to your magisterial knock? Oh, for the masses that might have been swayed, had they just chosen to open their door to strangers with a political agenda! 000
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 05/12/2024As Morgana says, "Arthur is nothing without #bbcMerlin," so here's the companion #crossstitch design featuring our favorite sorcerer. Adapted from a vintage needlework design. 041
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Here's another #BBCMerlin -themed #crossstitch -- King Arthur, adapted from an old needlework design, originally of Achilles. 060
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Here's another project I'm planning to start, "Ealdor." It's 200x180 (36000) stitches -- 56 colors, 10x11 on 18 ct aida. It'll be fun to do a scene that features Merlin and Arthur both! #crossstitch #bbcmerlin 050

Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 21/11/2024Here's another Merlin cross stitch I designed -- a red Camelot sampler. I'm rather proud of the Pendragon emblem below the castle! #bbcmerlin #crossstitch 68015
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 16/11/2024I read The Hobbit in (I think) 6th grade -- that would be 1969-70. I'm pretty sure it was this paperback: 210
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Cross stitcher and BBC Merlin fan here! #crossstitch #bbcmerlin 060
Tenedos @ferarum.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Your project looks great! I'm a cross-stitcher too -- and a BBC Merlin fan! 000
