Unwrapped was a real comfort watch for me when I was in my 20s. I would describe it as a more colorful and enthusiastic How It's Made. Marc Summers is a great host!

If I started my own social media website I'd make the like button get progressively bigger each time you replied to someone without liking their post.

I built this pumpkin spice Bundt cake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting. Today I took some to the neighbors. One neighbor has adorable puppies who I got to love on and the other works for Frito Lay and sent me home with chips, salsa and cheese dip. May keep this up all winter to fight SAD

The Author, Séamas O'Reilly @seamas.bsky.social · 20d

These very true words from Steve Hely have given me tremendous comfort over the years.

Writing a novel— actually picking the words and filling in paragraphs— is a tremendous pain in the ass. Now that TV’s so good and the Internet is an endless forest of distraction, it’s damn near impossible. That should be taken into account when ranking the all-time greats. Somebody like Charles Dickens, for example, who had nothing better to do except eat mutton and attend public hangings, should get very little credit.

If I've learned anything from Lolita and Night of the Hunter, it's that Shelley Winters is always getting into some bullshit bc of a man. #TCMParty

I bought some champagne today. Keeping it chilled so we're ready when it does.

Normally I am fine (if even a little relieved) when someone cancels plans but I was really looking forward to a thing today that can't happen now and I'm sad! What is happening? Feeling my feelings?? In this economy!?

Brooms should not be able to unscrew from the handle while sweeping. Whoever invented this should be hit with one.
