I watched Seth Meyers interview Parker Posey last night, one of my favorite indie actresses. 💜

I'm ghosting my country and having emotional affairs with more attractive nations.

@jacklaridian I know that's true, but I also think all prices are going up because of dear leader. Many prices were greater. Literally, the price was different like yesterday.

@jacklaridian ps I also wonder if some specific item hikes are related to businesses anticipating tariffs, idk. Other fine chocolates in that section were about the same price. I still love going to the store, in general, and cooking. I'm just scheming up new ways of doing it cheaper. 💜

How are you. I went to the grocery store and my favorite dark chocolate bar is now one dollar more, after being at the same price for years.

This movie is showing me that if nuclear war breaks out, it is acceptable to leave the grocery store with a full basket of unpaid-for-groceries

On a lighter note, I am learning how to peel a Cara Cara orange.

@jacklaridian @glauber I am amazed you did this. haha. I just can't. And the largest font possible! 😂 Poor Usha.

@jacklaridian Good point. Yeah, it will be interesting to observe.

@jacklaridian I predict the backlash may catapult the story into greater visibility. We'll see I guess, but the reaction is definitely a sign she hit on something deep.

The Episcopal bishop who asked Trump et al to have compassion for and mercy on the vulnerable is the most consequential American in this century so far. She did something incredibly important.

Trump, tiktok, changing plans, etc...just another example of why it is a waste of time to listen to the news for the next 4 years.

I heard a recent medical report that drinking any amount of alcohol causes cancer. Sorry, but my bias is just living in this world causes cancer. May as well have a beverage from time to time.

What I enjoyed most about this miniseries which is based on a true story is the relationship between the detectives and the moment the detectives revealed the truth to the serial rapist's brother, a human moment. All of the focus is usually on the capture in these dramas, but this showed the collateral damage to others affected by a family member's choices. A very well-crafted series.

Interesting. And funny. Offers a different perspective on American comedy--speaking as an American. "Dan the Stranger Second-Class Citizen" Stand-Up Special. YouTube

Though he had never experienced true winter, he always wondered about the story he read in high school English, about the boy who slips away into madness with the sound of snow--both imagined and real. He imagines the sound like the soughing of the ocean waves upon which he sits with his board under a friendly winter light. The snow would pull him under, drown him. And then he feels the tug of the tide, the lift of his board. He stands, and he is only movement. #mastoprompt #bleak @stevencudahy

@jacklaridian I'm so glad you liked it. I loved it.

One reason I am not surprised by the flavor and fervor of this recent wave of extreme #Christiannationalism is that I attended a conservative seminary earlier in my adult life. I was more of a moderate believer but didn't find an educational outlet where I lived with my then-husband. I could not believe such literal Biblical interpretations of laws and prophesies in Biblical texts. The students were worse than the profs and I don't doubt that some may have stormed the US capitol.
