This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

I would say that even if your reason for not liking country is merely a matter of personal taste, that’s perfectly valid. I am not a regular listener of country* or hip-hop, and yet no one pushes back on someone saying “I don’t like hip-hop.” * I prefer bluegrass to traditional country. Why? 🤷‍♀️

Here’s what’s important for you to know real pastors don’t support you becoming a trad wife… because there has never been a point in history where it has been in the best interest of women to solely depend on the benevolence of men for their wellbeing

It’s a touch warm for traditional (AKA heavy) Polish food, but @chipuni.bsky.social & I biked to the Polish Festival in LA anyway. Lovely crowd, had a nice chat about Polish herring at the church deli, learned the Warner Bros. & Max Factor were Polish. The cabbage rolls were amazing.

The Terror s1, about a doomed 19th century Arctic expedition. One of those shows where every aspect - the acting, the writing, the cinematography, the set design, the soundtrack - is near perfect. Tremendous story about leadership and brotherhood.

Hey, who remembers that time that Arnold Schwarzenegger said that nazis and confederates were losers, and that if you support them, then you are a loser too? And then half of the GOP turned against him and said "Don't call me a loser?"🤡 And so Arnold told them again, louder this time? I remember!

Checking out LA Chinatown on my way to the Central Library.

A mural on a wall in L.A.”s Chinatown neighborhood. The wall is a peachy, creamy pink. There is a flower I can’t identify of a slightly deeper pink, a Chinese dragon with the peachy pink and red skin/scales, white steam curling around it, golden hair and beard, flaming eyes, talons outstretched towards the viewer. In the bottom left corner, it says “LA CHINATOWN” with LA in the white Dodgers typeface style. Under the dragon, there is an artist’s tag: @LukeDragonArt
