Hard to overstate the impact of this author's stories on my life. Rest in peace, LJS. 😔

Roman Senators reaching a compromise with their dictator, March 15th, 44 BCE

Sometimes I see someone post something so deeply disappointing/infuriating/mind bogglingly ignorant, I donate to the opposite of whatever they're shouting about and then I disappear back into the gloaming for some tea and witchcraft.

If what you need to calm your mind is a bunch of talented #ballet students taking class and being coached, the Prix de Lausanne is streaming all week. The big breaking news: they've remodeled the venue so the studios and stage are no longer raked.

Marianne Faithfull, RIP. Damn, 2025. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I saw two excellent* films this week. Quest For The Mighty Sword, the 1990 conclusion to the Ator series, and The Giant Claw, a 1957 science fiction/monster movie somehow missed by MST3K (I think) but very watchable even without extra riffs.

*perhaps unintentionally hilarious and #awesomelybad

Why does the weather have to be political?

Maybe I just haven't picked the right books yet, but these dark romances aren't really that dark? And these monster romance monsters aren't very monstrous. Also, is dark/monster romance what I've been reading since high school? Like, you know, anything with vampires? #booksky

I felt too sad to go to ballet tonight. I do believe in dancing it out whenever possible, but today wasn't it.

I keep forgetting this exists and that a lot of you are here and not on threads. When I open this app I have Twitter flashbacks in a stressful way, not in a vampires drinking bourbon kind of way. 🙃

How it feels reconnecting with Twitter mutuals

I can't believe this phenomenon has followed me here.

The countdown to Oktoberfest is on.

Tfw you left a situation full of annoyances and now there's a new annoyance and you have to confront that the common denominator is you.

Since I made my avatar a much younger version of myself, maybe I should post my thoughts from that time as stated in old diaries. Or maybe I should just save us from myself.

I dreamed a 3 year old and 2 infants were going to be given to me to parent in a "when it rains, it pours" situation. When I woke up, I realized it was because my library holds became available right before bed last night.

I dreamed I was hanging out with The Edge and it was very cool.
