We said goodbye to our sweet Arthur on Tuesday. We are devastated and heartbroken and miss him terribly.

Every woman you know has taken a longer route. Has doubled back on herself. Has pretended to dawdle by a shop window. Has held her keys in her hand. Has made a fake phone call. Has rounded a corner and run. Every woman you know has walked home scared. Every woman you know. --- Harriet E. Johnson

Just discovered “The Knick” from 2014-2015 with Clive Owen. It’s bleak, hard to watch, frustrating, and very well done. The design and performances are remarkable.

This is truth. Hard? Yup. Not sure what to do every day? Absolutely. Not sure what to do at ALL?! Totally. But it still has to be us.

Just think, in all the billions of years for which the universe has existed and all the uncountable years it will continue to exist, our infinitesimal existences overlapped with Dolly Parton's.

Has anyone else run across the “Young Sherlock” series that ran for 9 episodes in the UK in the 80’s. We just finished it and it felt like a weird cross between old Dr Who and a strange Dickensian play. Thinking you might have, @mrspeel.bsky.social ?

“ When Ladies Meet” (1941) with Ms Crawford, Greer Garson, Herbert Marshall, Robert Taylor, and Spring Byington. It’s rather awful. But I think I’d watch Greer Garson do anything.

I am re reading the remarkable @robinhobb.bsky.social ‘s “Farseer Trilogy” for perhaps the third time. There is a comfort in the revisiting. A form of time travel. Burrich, Verity, and a six year old Fitz all welcome me back, and gather me into their tale.

Take the wrong lesson from a movie “The Wizard of Oz”: if you put other people’s needs before your own, you will just end up back where you started.

Would love thoughts, gentle readers: I’m planning thin chicken breasts rolled up with jalapeño and cream cheese and wrapped in turkey bacon (don’t come at me, I try not to eat pork). Multiple recipes online. But what do you think: air fry, pan fry, bake, or…? #cookingsky #homecooking

I put together some “lucky” foods for the new year. Makes for an interesting meal. I often make collard greens and black-eyed peas (America), herring (Eastern Europe), grapes (Italy), pomegranate (Greece), soba noodles (Japan). Anyone have others to try? #food #foodsky #cooking #homecooking #foodie

If y’all aren’t watching every single season of “Miss Scarlet” on Masterpiece Mystery, you are missing out. Style, script, character development, and most importantly, outstanding performances. Plus a great theme tune. Love it. #pbs #britishtelly

A lovely Date Nut Loaf from B. Dylan Hollis’ “Baking Yesteryear”. Date-forward bakes are more familiar to my friends across the pond, I believe. But they need to more common here in the states. It’s reet grand. #baking #bakingsky

We had never seen this remarkable made for television film by Rod Serling and produced and directed by Joseph Mankiewicz. It was made in 1964 and is so very relevant right now and that is especially heartbreaking. #classicfilm #tcm youtu.be/QGaWta4dM44?...

Today was not my day for Madelines. First batch stuck to the pan. So I changed from butter to baking spray (yknow, the stuff with flour in it) and they overflowed but came out of the pan easily. Will be glazing with something. #baking #homebaking
