Apropos WHY I was allowed to watch WHBQ Fantastic Features - the Monster of Ceremonies - SIVAD (actually Watson Davis) - was semi-related to my mother, so I was allowed to stay up watching these, mostly, totally inappropriate movies as a young child. My parents have a lot to answer for, TBH.

I answered “The Uninvited” starring Ray Milland. Just so you know - I wasn’t even born when this movie was released in 1944, but WHBQ in Memphis had a late Saturday night program in the 1960’s - Fantastic Features - dedicated to horror films. My parents, bless their hearts, allowed me to watch.

@darthbluesky.bsky.social My very kind and talented neighbour, Felicity, who’s recuperating at home with a broken leg, is bored. So she sketched my mini-dachshund - Gemma, aka “Velcro”.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Here’s another angle. Are those not the cutest toes ever?

Not so lethal Australian wildlife: Green Tree Frog on the bonnet (aka, the hood) of my car. In the garage, mind you, where he’s living rent free.

I’ve lived in Australia for 30 years. Do I still freak out about venomous snakes around the pool? Yes. Yes I do.

TFW Mom forgets to close the door and going to the loo becomes a full-contact sport.

Mini-dachshunds have no concept of loo privacy.

TFW Mom’s too busy to notice she’s holding a latte at pup level.

That feeling when you’ve just had 13 teeth extracted. Dental disease in dogs is no joke.

If U.S law demands expats file a tax return (and pay taxes) based on US citizenship, even though we’re domiciled in another country, then we’re damn well entitled to vote in federal elections. No taxation without representation.
