You know you’ve got some weird stuff going on in that brain of yours when Senator Foghorn Leghorn (nickname coined by the wonderful @iansmc.bsky.social) is the *voice of reason* in this situation! Dude is a broken clock, but he said what we all were thinking!

Just checking in. I’m doing okay since Roxy passed. I have plans to crochet a memorial doll of her as part of my grieving process. Days are mostly boring at the moment. Still reading “Infinite Jest”, but I crossed page 800 and have about 170 pages to go in the main story.

Today we say goodbye to an icon, a unique talent, and a woman who truly lived the messages of love, kindness, compassion, and generosity that she so deeply spoke of. She earned every single flower that she got, and influenced a whole boatload of musicians and songwriters. Rest easy, Dolly.

Last night, my “soul dog” Roxy died at the ripe old age of 16. She will be sorely missed and fondly remembered. I wrote much of this blog post last night, in the hours after she passed. snowlessknitter.wordpress.com/2026/08/18/t...

#BB28 in a nutshell so far: • Dee’s HoH: Don’t ruffle any feathers. •Devens’ HoH: Ruffle *all* of the feathers. Or, if we want to use Hayden Moss’s terminology, he wants to “rustle” all of the feathers.

If #InfiniteJest ever gets adapted into a TV series, I think this is the song that should play when Lucien Antitoi is dispatched with his own broom and his life flashes before his eyes in his final moments. Ironically, Lucien’s French is terrible. youtu.be/_TkmbbPlC_A?...

Just read the Antitoi section in Infinite Jest. I think that was the bookish equivalent of a popcorn moment. This had been a really slow read for me so far, but I feel like things are starting to click together as far as the plot. #Booksky 📚 #InfiniteJest

I love it when my two favorite fandoms, #Wrestling and #Eurovision collide. Rusev just mentioned “Bangaranga” on Monday Night Raw and I imagine most of the audience had no clue what he was talking about!

I wasn’t expecting Bulgaria to win, but I was pleasantly surprised! Looks like Finland will have to wait another year, but I have to admit that Bulgaria *brought it* when it mattered the most! Here’s to hoping for a party next year in (all likelihood) Sofia, Bulgaria! #Eurovision

The second semifinal of #Eurovision 2026 is in the books! Here are my thoughts as the show was going: * Bulgaria 🇧🇬: Fun. Not quite as big and ambitious as Moldova’s on Tuesday, but still a solid opener.

My thoughts on #Eurovision Semifinal 1: * Moldova 🇲🇩: A fun and energetic way to start the show. Wasn’t expecting that spot with Aliona Moon’s dress during her big solo! * Sweden 🇸🇪: About what I remember from Melfest. Still not super crazy about the song, but the crowd seemed to enjoy it.

Infinite Jest has been slow-going, but it’s going. The part I read today answered the question I had 100 pages ago about how someone could off themselves with a microwave. I will never read “something smelled delicious” the same way again. #Books #Booksky 📚

I’ve seen an image of the post making the rounds and it is truly despicable, but not surprising that it came from his account. How soon we forget that this is a guy whose entire political career started because he was peddling racist conspiracy theories about Barack Obama.

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

I had my first true LOL moment while reading Infinite Jest this evening. There was a scene at the tennis academy where a bunch of the students were watching video of their matches and one of the younger ones asked one of the older ones what do you do when you have to fart during a match.

It’s a sad day in the BB fan community today. Mickey will always be remembered in BB lore for making two moves that doomed Rylie in the game: using her Interrogator power to successfully dethrone him as HoH and then winning the Blockbuster that led to his eviction (arguably the most satisfying).
