Delightful also to hear real eagle noises. In movies eagles are always dubbed with hawks, since hawks found fierce and eagles sound like adorable squeakers.

Hey smart people of Bluesky, where do I look for good academic resources on folklore studies? Or any good books in that vein that I should add to my TBR? 📚📜

Big Scary Thing: I just entered my first miniature painting competition with this little friend! I also decided to move my mini painting to my public Instagram @wanderingyetistudio instead of hiding them in my personal account. #ttrpg #minipainting #miniatures #dnd #dungeonsanddragons

somewhat motivated by everyone’s response to Dolly and Tim Curry passing to remark: if you were moved by them be what moves you. Be kind, generous, make weird fucking art, help people, sing bawdy songs and do drag

the famous line about how michael caine treated the muppets as fellow actors and tim curry treated himself as a fellow muppet keeps running through my head we have a lot of brilliant actors, but how many of them can really pull off 'unhinged muppet' the way curry could? what a tremendous loss

What horseshit. She embraced gay people at the height of the AIDS crisis, embraced trans people at the height of the war against them, supported Black communities and artists, and wrote the most pro-worker's rights feminist pop song of all time. Neutral my ass

the thing about Curry and Dolly they had in common was taking their art completely seriously but not taking themselves too seriously and that is why they were such a joy

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
Miss Piggy and Dolly Parton in fancy dresses posing together photo of Tim Curry surrounded by muppets, smiling for a photo. A quote from curry is added “it didn’t go very well. It didn’t survive the shoot. She felt I wasn’t being faithful to her” it’s him discussing his ill fated affair with miss piggy

This weekend I went to my fav indie bookstore to revel in a good cup of coffee while browsing the shelves. I bought and read @travisbaldree.bsky.social's Brigands & Breadknives - much needed adventurous, cozy goodness. Then I ran a Daggerheart session for my friends & made up stories. It was great!

I finished 2 Masters degrees and assorted graduate certificates in 5 years. It broke my ability to read for enjoyment and I hadn’t read anything in almost a year. But now, in the last 5 days I’ve finished 2 of 3 books in @travisbaldree.bsky.social’s Legends and Lattes series! It’s been so much fun!

From descriptions of Donald Trump, stated between 2015 and 2018, by Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator from South Carolina.

A race-baiting, xenophobic bigot
The Islamic State’s “man of the year”
The death of the GOP’s relationship with Hispanic voters
A death blow to the GOP’s relationship with women
The world’s biggest jackass
A wrecking ball
A salesman of fear
A politician whose ideas are gibberish
A politician who is incapable of representing a mattress company
A poor representation of a Republican
A president who is unfit for office
A president who sometimes crosses the line
A Twitter user whose tweets are sometimes beneath the office of the presidency
A man who has a blind spot
A thoughtful person
A good person
A strong person
A golfer with an accurate drive and an athletic swing
A president doing a great job
The best hope in decades for peace

It’s nothing for billionaires. For a billionaire with a net worth of exactly $1 billion, spending or donating $26 million is equivalent to a typical American household (earning about $73,600 a year) spending just $1.91.

One of my fave things in York Minster: a medieval wren stalking a spider. It reminds me that history isn't only kings and battles. Someone, centuries ago, found joy in the same things we still notice today. It's a reminder of how much we have in common over our differences.

A sad and disappointing first: I, a research archivist, was emailed a question that did not ask for a reasoned response, but instead asked for a list of AI prompts so that ChatGPT could answer their questions. Why are people so willing to outsource thinking?!?
