First glimpse of Orion, last night (this morning technically) a bit after midnight! Maybe it’s cliche to pick Orion as my favorite constellation, but he’s just so dazzling. ✨⭐️ Happy First Orion Day!

Daaaamn, Tim Curry. 🔥😆👏 This bit is regarding the filming of Home Alone 2, from his memoir Vagabond.
Excerpt from Tim Curry’s Vagabond:
Later in the week, Donald Trump and Marla Maples-who was his mistress at the time- did a walk-through while we were shooting one of the scenes, eager to find the director.
"I want Marla to meet Chris Colum-bus," Trump said to me, "because Marla is a very talented actress."
"I'm... sure she is," I said, leaning fully into the conciliatory tone of a typical top-notch concierge. That wasn't a complete lie; I have no doubt she was good at faking it.

Our two guinea pigs started out okay, living together, then after about six months, they began fighting all the time. HATED each other. Violently. Had to stay in separate cages the rest of their lives. So I’ve added a bit of commentary to this “daily facts” calendar page.
“Daily fact” calendar page that says: In Switzerland, owning just one guinea pig is not allowed.
I’ve added in pen: “Get two, they said; they're bonded, they said.”

Finished the series finale of Resident Alien last night. Y'all, it's a good show. Northern Exposure meets X-Files, with a dash of Reservation Dogs (loved the Native American characters!). Very lighthearted and hopeful as sci-fi goes; really about human kindness and foibles and love and humor.

It's rare I get a LiveJournal comment these days (I don't post there anymore), but did get this one inviting me to an LJ revival movement. True about the enshittification of most other social media, but if LJ is still Russian-owned, this is not going to work for most of us.
Comment on LiveJournal: Hi, I would like to invite you to join the_lj_revival community. With algorithm-based social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram having been enshittified to the point of total uselessness, there has never been a better time make people aware of the advantages of LiveJournal and to encourage users to add new friends and boost activity on the site.
Please feel free to join and contribute to the community. Thank you!

My reply (username mollyringle):
Very true about the enshittification of so many other sites. But LJ is still owned by Russia, is it not? That was the entire reason for the exodus all those years ago, and the problem still exists. I do miss the old days of LJ, but under current ownership, I don't think it can be the same again. Hoping we can all find our way to a saner internet one of these decades!

Art I once made from a photo of my sister and me on Westminster Bridge on our first UK trip in August 1995. Drawn over winter break a few months later, because I was so consumed with Britophilia that I was willing to draw every column of the Houses of Parliament in pencil. Crazy times. 🇬🇧

From a falling-apart book of Doonesbury cartoons, printed in 1974, found in a little free library. #feminism 📚💙
Doonesbury cartoon:

Boy: MS. CAUCUS, WE BOYS HAVE BEEN NOTICING A BIG CHANGE IN THE GIRLS LATELY. THEY’VE BEEN ACTING LIKE BOYS!

Teacher: WELL, DEAR I’M NOT SURE YOU BOYS ARE BEING QUITE FAIR... A GREAT LADY, SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR, ONCE SAID THAT THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE; HUMAN BEINGS AND WOMEN. AND WHEN WOMEN START ACTING LIKE HUMAN BEINGS, THEY ARE ACCUSED OF TRYING TO BE MEN.

Boy: YEAH... BUT...BUT...UM...

Girl: SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR’S GOT YOUR NUMBER, SLIM.

When Trump/Pence became the GOP ticket back in 2016, I made the sober choice to add one more gay sex scene to my WIP. A gay male shower sex scene, specifically. This is that novel. Thank you, Mike Pence, for your homophobic remarks. They inspired me. 🌈📚 #friendstolovers #omgtheywereroomates

Happy #WorldGothDay! Here's a quote from my most goth-aesthetic-embracing protagonist, Sinter Blackwell of All the Better Part of Me. (A novel that is also a m/m contemporary romance.) 🌈📚💙
Quote from the book All the Better Part of Me by Molly Ringle:
I turned my bedroom into a bat cave of band posters, dark curtains, and the occasional skull. I think by then my distraught parents were seeking advice from their pastor. Andy, meanwhile, calmly remarked, "I like how you've found a way to use Halloween decorations year-round."
