With all the discussion of Tim Curry ‘s long career, I want to make sure that we include one of his under-appreciated roles: Charlene’s snooty fur coat on Dinosaurs.

Screenshot of Bart Simpson with his feet on his desk, looking at a potato in a glass of water and held up with toothpicks. He writes on a clipboard. The paper says "Science Experiment, Bart Simpson. 11:00 Start Experiment, 11:30 Still just a potatoe (spelled incorrectly"). Ditto marks are next to 12, 12:30, and 1pm. Text on the screenshot says in Yiddish, "One o'clock, still just a potato."

0/10 ship I’ve been “comfort hate-watching” and remembered how we used to call Kevin “T-1000” on the TWoP boards.

I’m in Dallas for a convention and found the perfect book to read for fun. Does anybody remember the 1-season show GCB that was on ABC in 2012?
Book cover for “Good Christian Bitches” by Kim Gatlin. The cover image is a close-up of a blonde woman’s cleavage. You see the top of her sparkly purple dress. She is wearing a large, diamond-encrusted cross. A silver starburst proclaims: “Inspiration for GCB on ABC.”

Seeing Weird Al tonight. Really hoping it will cool down after sunset.

One great thing about gel printing is that it’s a great way to repurpose junk mail! Like this form letter from my senator!
Pink and purple flowers printed on top of a form letter. Written in white ink: “I asked Senator Ted Budd to oppose the SAVE Act. This will make it difficult for millions of Americans to vote. He sent me this form letter saying he was going to support it anyway. So I turned it into ART. Because my voice is more important than his signature.”

I made a great discovery on my recent thrifting trip. These are issues of Dog Eared Magazine, a journal about book arts that ran from 2001-2006. Each issue focused on a different topic and had tutorials. It looks like they published 16 issues. Hope I can track down the remaining issues! #bookarts

My grandfather Al was stationed in Guadalcanal during WWII and came back with a lot of photos. This is one of my favorites. It reminds me that no matter what conditions we are living through, we always find a way to celebrate our holidays and live Jewishly. Chag Sameach, friends. A freylekhn Pesakh.
A black and white photo from World War 2. A group of soldiers gather around a table to celebrate Passover. They are each holding up cups of wine. The table has Seder plates, matzah, and candles. Caption in white says: “13th AFPL 4-8-20:00 46259 APO 709, Chaplain Rosenthal and friends enjoy Passover Meal.”

From Evie, a conservative women's magazine that actively tries to trick people into thinking it's Elle. Do they know that being the canary in the coal mine is bad? BEING THE CANARY IN THE COAL MINE IS BAD.
Screenshot of a Facebook post from Evie Magazine. Text says: "The recent rise of Americana fashion was far more than an Instagram trend–it was the canary in the coal mine announcing a national change of heart [heart emoji]." Links to an article with the title "How Fashion Predicted a Trump Triumph." Article image is a blurry photo of a blond white woman running through grass wearing a dusty rose floofy skirt and bra.
