"Today we are holding a carnival, to which everyone has to bring a partner wearing some form of disguise, so that one man will be dressed up as a bear, another as a savage, and so on and so forth."

from
#TheDecameron

by Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375)

Louis Armstrong and Lotte Lenya, 1955

Lenya was in the studio when Armstrong recorded "Mack the Knife," which is why he improvised the line "and Miss Lotte Lenya!"

Now that Thanksgiving is almost over, let's settle this once and for all:

"Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" *is* a Christmas movie!

Happy Thanksgiving, compatriots! I miss my days of travelling over the river and through the woods, but I'm thankful for my boy and dog, the parade, the turkey & trimmings, green bean casserole specifically, pumpkin pie, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and the official start of the Christmas season❣️

Tarragon: an underrated herb?

Or the MOST underrated herb?🤔

The #ThanksgivingJazz performance was recorded by the Voice of America and stored for decades at the Library of Congress. It was finally digitized and released in 2005.

With awful things happening in the United States each day, Jazz remains a part of our heritage for which we can all be thankful!

Despite having lived in NYC for 3 decades, I've only attended the Macy's parade twice. Here's what happened the first time:

"Kathleen Caronna...was first seriously injured during a particularly windy Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1997."
Woman who was put in a coma from Thanksgiving Day balloon had plane crash into her home just years later
Kathleen Caronna was hit by a lamppost during a Thanksgiving Day parade and years later watched her apartment burn after an airplane engine crashed into it.

My presence on this app can be traced directly to @bayoubabylon.bsky.social , who gave me an invite code back when invite codes were a thing.

For that, blame or praise him as you see fit, but please take a moment to wish him a #HappyBirthday !

Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, Charlie Brown
Charlie Brown was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by Scheoeder, Lucy, Linus, and Peppermint Patty. Snoopy signed it: and Snoopy’s name was good upon ’Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to.
All of these worlds are yours except Europa, Charlie Brown

My Cranberry-coded take is that the settlers of the Plymouth colony were uptight, but generally benign, weirdos who sincerely wanted good relations with local Wampanoags.

Things started getting fucked up after Winthrop and those other creeps showed up on the "Arbella".

After reading Emma's wonderful tribute, I just watched the video for Cliff's version of "I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW" three times in a row.

We will never live in a world without obstacles. But the ability to see "all the obstacles" is a blessing we should never take for granted!
