sorry Halloween enjoyers but best costume has been locked up in perpetuity by Scout, dressed as a ham in 1962's classic Academy Award winning film 'To Kill a Mockingbird'
Scout in a ham costume on the front porch, it says HAM so no one is confused

I'm dying laughing at how the cat has conformed to her flower shaped bed today
A white cat is sleeping curled up in a med that has five fluffy white lobes of a flower petal, the cat has half her face peeking upwards and otherwise has filled the pentagonal space in the center of the bed completely

My kid has started a Letterboxd list called Killer Sweaters for films where the killer wears a great sweater and they've asked me to throw it out to Bluesky for more because "that's the kind of thing those weirdos like to do"

I don't care what anyone says: S4 of "Ted Lasso" was everything I needed it to be. Just finished the finale and I am *wrecked.* If that makes me maudlin or sentimental or whatever, I truly don't care. They landed that plane. #TedLasso

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
Miss Piggy and Dolly Parton in fancy dresses posing together photo of Tim Curry surrounded by muppets, smiling for a photo. A quote from curry is added “it didn’t go very well. It didn’t survive the shoot. She felt I wasn’t being faithful to her” it’s him discussing his ill fated affair with miss piggy

As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.

PBS kids have the best sick days.
Thread from @thecoolestkate reads "In kindergarten I once stayed home sick from school watching PBS all day and learned to draw a fruit basket (on notebook paper). When I gave it to my mom she was so impressed, she said the banana looked real and she bragged to other people and treated it like treasure and now ~30 years later I’m an artist. I was always an artist, but I first believed it because she did."

Park rangers fined Sandra Shachar for vandalism this morning at the President’s House, hours after the Trump admin installed its version of history. The 72 year old has been posting news articles on the site’s walls since the slavery exhibit was removed. If she does it again, she’ll be arrested.

He fell asleep in a meeting with Turkish President Erdogan, referred to Iran as the "Islamic Republic of Japan", TikTok as "Tic Tac", President Zelensky as "President Putin" & once again demanded the U.S. be given control of Greenland. He's much less dangerous while sleeping than when he's awake. 💤
