Reminder: if you try to engage with me in bad faith, such as ridiculing me, picking arguments w/ me, or being otherwise unkind (vs genuinely curious), I will block you. FAFO.

Days like today make proud to be a Union member
With every Hollywood union coming out against this merger I’m thinking it might end up going the way of the Kroegers/Albertsons/Vons mergers and get blocked big time

Hoopla and Kanopy are free with your library card here in LA. I can’t recommend them highly enough. I use them constantly
hoopla is amazing. it also isn’t cheap. but the best argument we librarians can make to the purse string holders for keeping it is that people actually use it, so please use it! 📚 📺
The positive outcome of this story is that in frantically googling around trying to figure out what happened and how I could at least see the end of the episode, I discovered that the show is available at my local library and actually can be streamed thence via Hoopla 🎉

Often associated with Santa, Father Christmas is actually much older than the modern incarnation, going back to the 1400s. A figure for adults that involved merriment, feasting, and gift-giving, Father Christmas was outlawed by the Puritans' brief ban on Christmas. #FolkyFriday

You were a kid. It was your job to be an imperfect work in progress. They were the adult. It was their job not to take your imperfection personally. The fact that they weren't up to that job isn't your fault-- you COULDN'T have done your parents' job for them if you'd wanted to.

NW THREE GODFATHERS (1936)
This is one I always miss during the Christmas marathon. I really like the John Wayne remake but this one might be even better. Really sharp dialogue, great characters and I love a Western in black & white

I made steak tips for the first time tonight! Hubs is from New England & orders them whenever we visit. So I wanted to make them! Got the steak from Good Chop; marinated it in soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, & French vinaigrette. Delicious! (w/ a rice medley & roast Brussels sprouts) #CookingSky 🍽️
