Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

A billet-doux to Dragula (I can't wait till it's back). Also I loved when Trixie Mattel said this: "I just love masculine as a costume because it’s making fun of how stupid masculinity is."

Gosh the old New York Review of Books were ugly as hell. Looks like a tabloid or something

I miss the sort of middle-of-the-road movies we had in abundance in the 80s and 90s. The kind that never got critical or even box office laurels but could still become favorites for certain people

The fact that people still enthusiastically use Amazon is part of what makes me think we’ll never tackle big problems. I stopped using it ten years ago and I live in a rural area without many stores close by and I’m fine

Saturday is rightly celebrated as the best *day* of the week but the best *time* of the week is Friday night when the whole weekend stretches before you like a candy land dream

My small town has a few cute little coffee shops and they all close by 5 or 6pm. I would LOVE to go to one of these for after dinner coffee and a slice of pie à la mode but alas. In high school my friends and I lived in cafes and diners on nights and weekends

A Peek Into Jupiter’s Inner Life - From NASA Marshall Space Flight Center - flic.kr/p/2nLdWAu
Auroras and hazes glow in this composite image of Jupiter taken by the James Webb Space Telescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam). NIRCam has three specialized infrared filters that showcase details of the planet.

Since infrared light is invisible to the human eye, the light has been mapped onto the visible spectrum: the auroras are mapped to redder colors, hazes to yellows and greens, and light reflected from a deeper main cloud to blues.

Image credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, Jupiter ERS Team; image processing by Judy Schmidt.

Here in conservative East Tennessee there was a *rumor* of a data center and people were already organizing to push back. The local chamber of commerce came out against it and government officials had to put out various statements *and it wasn’t even real.* Definitely has legs

It will depress you! Sorry about that but it’s kind of my jam. I selected well-written books, some of them are even wryly funny at times — if you come from a culture with macabre humor. Still, the issue is big, complex, and scary. All the more reason for us to face it together.

I don’t call them Sunday Scaries. I call it Sunday Seething. I’m pissed, every single week, that we live in a system that makes us work ~75% of the time. Probably more like 90% when you also have to use your weekends to recover from/for…more work

We’re in a moment where we’re going back all in on fossil fuels to power AI. The belief of our tech overlords, which they make us live, is that the only thing that’ll save us from climate change/other issues is AGI. Betting the fate of the world on a product that happens to give them money and power

I would really prefer not talk about Covid again but it’s like to the people *still* complaining about masks, vaccines, and other protection measures — yall won? We had some light, short closures and things opened back up quickly and 1.24 million people died in the US alone? You got your death wish

Interesting that we have been led to call these various products “smart.” Maybe we should call them what they are. In this case: surveillance glasses or face-mounted cameras

Now watching The Beaches of Agnès, a self-portrait by Agnès Varda. “This time, to talk about myself, I thought: if you opened other people up, you’d find landscapes. If you opened me up, you’d find beaches.” #nowwatching #filmsky

Does anyone else using Criterion Channel’s “leaving at the end of the month” list to help decide what they’re going to watch? In a world of seemingly infinite choice it’s nice to have a filter like this, and I’ve watched a lot of films I never would have watched otherwise #filmsky

Just saw a young man at the Dollar General who had a gray hat shaped like Snufkin’s. I should have told him what I felt — that I thought it was awesome — but I didn’t want him to think I was being disingenuous

August. Something sort of melancholy about it. The summer trudges on and the leaves are beat up. Maybe this feeling is connected to childhood, having to go back to school. You want to savor a thing, suck all the juice out of it, but don’t know how and feel like you’re failing

Miya-san! I’ve been on a documentary kick. First time watching all of these except The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness. Paris is Burning is so good. The ending dusk shot with Venus Xtravaganza next to the boombox. Salesman gave me dread and anxiety (10/10) #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #FilmSky

Stayed up way too late watching this for the first time but I’m so glad I did. My cats with me, rain outside on the windows. Compassion and kindness forever and ever. Hubris and greed get fucked #filmsky

One year since I lost my dad. I got to spend the week with my mom and looked at lots of old photos today. Lots of smiles and lots of tears, which just about sums up life I guess

Finally taking the plunge. About 40 pages in and it just got its hooks in me. “But for a little while now, I have begun to hear again very clearly, if I take care to listen, the sobs that I was strong enough to contain in front of my father […] They have never really stopped” #booksky #litsky
