I was a librarian too - disabled by Covid to the point I had to quit. Still can’t work nearly 2 years later now.

I have fear because the first time I tested positive I developed disabling Long Covid. So yeah I’m afraid of becoming further disabled if I get it again which is also absolutely rational.

Thanks so much for featuring us! We really had a great time preparing this particular show as we’re all big fans of the film!

Yes, exactly this. It’s funny how Melville’s descriptions of the whales make them so majestic and relatable and full of personality even as it’s a book about whaling. I ended up reading scientific books on whales as supplementary reading.

I just read Moby Dick for the first time this year so I’m absolutely interested!

None of this should mean you shouldn't take them seriously as a threat to our existence and way of life. But they aren't the overwhelming dark empire that has a chokehold on ever aspect of life they want you to think they are. They're a bunch of power mad idiots hoping the ride never stops.

Their gestapo gets run out of neighborhoods by angry citizens with cameras, they lose battles in court constantly, states have already taken steps to protect their citizens' rights. And they only get less popular. with more people aware and upset at them by the day.

If people don’t give up I still have some hope. We outnumber the people who like this administration. And even those who like it, most of them aren’t willing to do the dirty in person work it would take for a full authoritarian state. That’s why they’re controlling the greedy spineless execs instead

This. We can’t let this stand. If we do, it continues.

This one hurts. He was a good person as well as a good actor, one of my mom’s favorites, and I may have nursed a tiny crush on him too. What a life and body of work, though!

I actually have seen Blood on Satan‘s Claw - I liked it enough that I left it on my tubi list to rewatch! I’ll see if I can find the others! Thanks!

Any particularly good folk horror you’ve seen lately? I do sort of have a list from that giant folk horror documentary that came out a few years ago but I also like personal recommendations!

Can’t wait to hear your selections!
