After I started taking care of Dad last year, he learned that Halloween week means watching my fave witchy movies and you know what?

The government is officially shut down. Make no mistake: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This is THEIR shutdown. They had every tool to govern and chose chaos instead. The American people are the ones paying the price.

Willett's Law of Morally Defensible Conspiracy-Peddling
my rules for perpetuating a conspiracy theory are:
1. no one is harmed either if it's true, or if it's false but everyone started acting like it was true
2. mostly goofy
3. punching up
4. fertile ground for meme generation
5. primary audience is other people who are also in on the joke

If you'd told me the morning after my 20th, 30th, or even 40th birthdays that I'd spend the morning after my 50th birthday happily tending to my tomatoes, I'd have told you to shut your filthy, lying mouth. But here we are.
However, I also had champagne and donuts after, because it is still me.

“Congress” didn’t pass this murder budget.
Republicans did it.
Republicans did it without a single Democratic vote in the House, without a single Democratic vote in the Senate.

When I met Ryan Coogler several years ago, we were standing in a group of people chatting, when a woman with visible hearing aids walked up, and he casually began to sign the whole conversation so she could participate. She mouthed “thank you”. He nodded and just kept doing his thing.
‘Sinners’ on Max Will Include a Black American Sign Language Version
‘Sinners’ on Max Will Include a Black American Sign Language Version
Max will debut Sinners in the U.S. on Friday July 4, when viewers will be able to watch it two ways: by 1) streaming the exact theatrically-released version, and 2) choosing Sinners in Black American Sign Language (BASL). It’s the first time a streaming service has interpreted a film into BASL, Warner Bros. says.
