HELLO!
I'm Mary. I used to go by SailorTweek, but then I turned 40.
I love movies (I'm no cinephile but I like films!), needle felting, photography, Disneyland, video games, and tea. I try to be funny and kind (or at the very least punch up).
I wish you all nothing but the very best of everything

I just bought 2 movies on the @vidiots.bsky.social wishlist to have sent over.
I don't live in CA, but I love what they provide and I wish I could go there everyday.

High school had us reading the SADDEST books: Lord of the Flies, Wuthering Heights, Cuckoos Nest, Scarlet Letter, Hiroshima (important but it was read in Lit class, NOT History)
We hated it. Teachers were pissed because they thought us not enjoying the assigned reading = hate all reading.

We all have teachers who give us a book that we love for life and can trace our love of reading to them, but does anyone else have that teacher who was SO VIOLENTLY IN LOVE WITH A BOOK and who taught it so intensely that it turned you off that book and that author for years?

It made me cry.
I have always wanted to see more footage from those camera towers and to see Rivers and Jungle Cruise be dug out.
And holy hell this doc builds on suspense with the "___ months till opening".
And it does not deify Walt. It reminds you it took hundreds of people to make this park

The new Disneyland Handcrafted documentary might be my favorite thing that Disney (or any other big studio) has done with their archival material. Leslie Iwerks used a ton of restraint and the film is really well constructed. I hope they release it on physical media.

Hytale is certainly inspired by Minecraft, but is still unique has quality-of-life functions that Minecraft lacks & is extremely pretty.
Really enjoying it so far. Haven't done more than gather materials because all games with a gathering component compresses my ADHD to only focus on that.
