I can't get a good stealth pic but there's a guy here at the Renaissance Festival wearing a shirt that says LORD OF THE KINGS and parodying the One Ring poem on the back:
One king to rule them all
One son to find them
One love to bring them all and in the spirit bind them
One king to rule them all
One son to find them
One love to bring them all and in the spirit bind them

It's that time of year where I wonder how Wolverine manages to function in winter with a whole metal-covered skeleton because I have a 2" metal plate in my wrist that makes my whole arm hurt in the cold if I don't bundle it properly 🤔

Can we talk about how Dr. Finkelstein in Nightmare Before Christmas is perfectly capable of giving himself working legs but chooses to stay in a wheelchair, instead making his surroundings accessible (that ramp up his tower for one)?

Timeline cleanse: Bowie's favorite game right now is to push her empty kiddie pool around the backyard. It was $8 so I'm not worried about the damage 🤣

Okay so we're at a vendor market supporting an LGBTQ+ organization
And there's a protestor
And it's raining
So I lent my umbrella to the organizer blocking the protestor
It's my Captain America shield umbrella

Listening to *How Sweet It Is* by Dylan Newton wherein a horror writer falls in love with a wedding planner and it is the FLUFFIEST THING I love it.
It hasn't been spicy yet - unclear if it will be - but listening to these dorks fall on love is so fun haha.

My dad loves to tell the story of when he and my mom took me to see Jurassic Park when I was about 2 years old. Apparently I slept through most of it and woke up just in time to see the raptor crash headlong into the kitchen counter. Then I said, "oh no, poor dinosaur bonk his head."

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

🌱 Organic?
Plant-based?

Not so fast.
No matter what you eat, good hygiene and safe practices always matter.
