It's been a minute since I've posted, but I wanted to share this. I wrote a thing and @breanneboland.bsky.social illustrated it!

'The Office' was pro-office propaganda whereas 'Severance' is the realistic show about how being at the office makes you go insane

Musk’s explicit embrace of Nazi rhetoric and imagery draws speculation from some on the left.

About to play the "$40 for a week of groceries" game, but fortunately, Guy's Grocery Games, and before that, Supermarket Sweep, have prepared me for this moment.

On T-day, we took a pre-gluttony trip on the Sandia Tram to the top of the mountains. Perfect sunset timing on the way down! #mountains #sunset #newmexico

Cemetery tourism: earlier this week I visited Rodeo, NM (population: 42). The local cemetery has a mix of unmarked graves, homemade markers, and elaborate headstones.
Three rock-lined graves in a desert cemetery. A gravestone that reads Cox, surrounded by rocks and a handmade wooden sign reading Cox. White stone grave with a cross and angel statue, set against the mountains. White cross that reads Daddy. Two graves with headstones.

I'm currently spending the night in the Cowboy Room at a lodge in Rodeo, NM. I'm stuck inside because there's a rattlesnake on my front porch.

Here's my #lastfourwatched for #LetterboxdFriday: 3 classics, and a movie that treated me like I was a complete idiot. I'll let you figure out which is which.

7 reasons why The Thing (1982) is a Christmas film: 1) snow 2) bearded men concealing surprises 3) compulsory party games 4) introverts shunning group activities 5) digestive issues 6) revellers bursting open to reveal partially assimilated canine lifeforms 7) knitwear

#LetterboxdFriday #lastfourwatched The end of my Jacques Tourneur/Mark Robson/Val Lewton Halloween binge, plus some #Noirvember picks (off to a slow start this year - I keep watching 30 Rock to help with the impending doom).

Not gonna lie: I'm a historian and I had no idea there was a second person on that plane. His name was Fred Noonan. We've all been a Fred at one point in our lives 😂
A photo of Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan who both disappeared. The caption says: If you ever feel like you've been forgotten just remember there was another person in the plane when Amelia Earhart went missing.
