Reports of ICE ads on #Spotify were noted in early October. People began calling for boycotts immediately.
Now, nearly a month later Spotify is seeing major losses.
And we can do ever BETTER. 👏👏👏

This makes even more sense when you are married to a Swede. There is a sense of fairness and community. And as someone who volunteers for husky rescue--Sweden has rights for dogs--look them up! There are no shelters necessary because people are born with a sense of responsibility.

There's been a lot of talk about Ophelia lately, as befitting one of the most tragic figures in literature. I wrote my own version of "The Fate of Ophelia" years ago. Reprinted in 2019 and feels relevant today.

I’m so glad @legallyhea.bsky.social posted about the Hallmark adaptation recently; otherwise I might not have known about this wonderful debut. Sarah’s love for her characters (as well as birding / nature / conservation) comes through so clearly. I highly recommend BWB. 📚💘 #Romancelandia

I am pretty shocked-I am not going to lie. I am happy with the movies listed but VERY disappointed many favorite Hallmark stars are not in a movie this season.
Not upset, or even all that surprised, that Hallmark is making fewer holiday movies, but for Hallmark Channel, a network that has sold itself almost exclusively on MORE Christmas, earlier than anyone else, to cut their movie output by 52% in a single year is…Not a sign all is going well.
Variety article out now, listing a 24 movie count. So not sure where EW's "29" count came from, as unless I'm missing something still just 4 new holiday series (2 reality, 2 scripted).

Kiera Knightley's PRIDE & PREJUDICE is getting a 20th anniversary theatrical re-release on April 20, which both makes me feel very, very old and is good news for those whose favorite Mr. Darcy is Mathew Macfadyen
