The perfect two sentence story.
When I was 23, I saw a bunch of really cute velvet furniture on the side of the road, totally nice. Took it in and a year later a friend’s new gf came to my house and it turns out I’d stolen her entire living room while she was moving.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

'Ink and Paint' was where many of the women artists at the Disney studio started. I'm happy to still see it around in some form.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

A reminder, now is a good time to go through your follower list and see who's following you.

I found some cool people to follow back, and some bots/yucky people to block.

Keep you blue skies blue.
