I’m slow to learn about some things. I just learned this week that shock gloves are a thing. As if that wasn’t depressing enough, they’ve been used in *schools.* #news

I don’t often buy new hardcover books anymore, but this beauty just arrived. I expect it will focus on Mon Mothma, Bail Organa and Saw Gerrera between Episode III and Andor. #StarWars #Andor #books 📚

The “What everyone’s reading” category annoys me every time I see it. Why should I care what “everyone” is reading? If I know you IRL or we interact online, I care what you’re reading. But “everyone?” No, I don’t care what they’re reading. Or supposedly reading. #books #Kindle #Amazon 📚

I was expecting this to be a lesser work from Paul Thomas Anderson and went in not expecting much, but despite the seemingly silly plot, it's so well written, shot and acted that I have to give it not one but two no three thumbs up: 👍👍👍 #movies 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofnX...

3.5/5⭐️: Victor Mature is a hard sell for Samson in 2026 and the faith aspect is oddly subdued for a Golden Age Hollywood biblical epic, but the rest of this holds up. Gorgeous and frequently thrilling. #Bible #movies 🎥

If you are heading to the Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant, WV, this weekend, you can snap up one of my lil origami Mothman fridge magnets from the Mothman Museum! They're being sold in the gift shop. I'm thrilled to help support that museum bc my partner and I loved the museum and the festival.🥹

A little origami butterfly made from black origami paper, with two sparkly red rhinestone eyes, and two ribbon tails. I make these at home and donate and sell them to people, places, and events I think are cool. Visit the Intransigent Whimsy website for more information and to learn how to get some!

I have two soundtracks for Burlesque. On the right, Christina Aguilera is at her brassy, jazzy best, but Cher sounds awful. On the left, we’re treated to a delightful blend of jazz, pop, dance, electroswing and whatever Moby’s album Play is. 👍 #music 🎵 #jazz 🎷 #pop #movies 🎥

“More than half of migratory bird populations are declining globally.” It’s probably wrong-headed, but some days I’d rather we decline and the birds thrive. #birds #environment #life #Anthropocene

S2 is a bit better, but that isn’t saying much. It looks good, fantasy-like elements impress, and the battles had a higher production value. Still, the cast mostly lacks charisma and the faith element only rarely appears. #HouseOfDavid #HoD #Bible #religion #Prime youtube.com/watch?v=uav8...

In The #BrothersKaramazov, the way #Dostoevsky describes Pavel Smerdyakov as having a conspiratorial air and the way he talks reminds me of the bartender in Kubrick’s The Shining. Like, I can only think #Kubrick did it on purpose. Has anyone ever noticed that? #books 📚 #movies #Horror #StephenKing
