Feast on the concept. Gorge yourself on the art. Then the alt text is a lovely treat on top. And dig in to find the conclusion. Marvellous.

My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.

People will speak of this moment in hushed tones, with wide eyes and sounds of reverent awe, for behold:
A paperback copy of a Rachel Reid book has been seen.

Scoring this today felt like scoring some premium rock from a dealer who only comes through once a month. Or so I’ve been told.

Had to clamber over a barbed wire fence, rip my coat and trespass to get a photo of this folkloric monster pretending half-successfully to be a tree. I have no regrets.

Last night I watched a drag queen give an extremely literate analysis of a hockey romance show. For all the horrors in the world right now, there are wonders, too.

One week to Christmas, and it’s time to pull out my “oh, shit, it’s almost Christmas! I have to finish this gift!” movie. By the end of the evening the junk journal scrapbook I’m making for my brother of our trip to Star Wars Land (Disney World) will be assembled and mostly decorated!

This gives me actual chills as I revisit Anderson’s exchange with vile Stephen Miller (via @shaneisland.bsky.social’s WaPo interview). He is a national treasure.
![screenshot:
I don't think there's anything I missed that I wish I'd gotten. I'll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, "Should I smile or not smile?" and I said,
"How would you want to be portrayed?" We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, [HIGHLGHTED] "You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people." And I looked at him and I said, "You know, you do, too.'](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ij7usgx5swk3kjpe6s6yvg7y/bafkreigjyvwzfewwa7jvbhrin7ut36acyc5bc6hexceoikyczobgnkcvx4@jpeg)

In honour of Rob Reiner, have David Moore's thread on the best sword fight in movie history and exactly how nerdy it is.
As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson.
Buckle up, swordfighting fans, because I *have* studied my Agrippa!

I was looking for an anniversary gift for @jsking.bsky.social, I was served a random ad for a Star Trek advent calendar which I bought without really thinking about it. On December 1, he *really* looked at it.

I woke up chilly at 5:15. Mom had the thermostat set at 72, and it was 67 in here. It’s just before 7, the temp has dropped to 66, and now the alarm has started beeping a low battery warning. I guess I’m just not allowed to sleep today.

Entering hour 5 at the ER. After her fall yesterday, I tried to get an earlier GP appointment, but they really wanted her assessed somewhere with the ability to run tests. We’ve probably got at least a couple more hours of waiting before we know what we’re looking at. And even if they don’t find

Mom fell this afternoon. That’s the third time in the last couple of months, every time after getting up hours before her usual time to get ready to go to church. (Seriously, she tries to get up by 6 am for church, when she usually wakes up between 11 and 12.)
