Lady Rocheford deserves a Philippa novel. Maybe it’ll get a Starz series, too. The White Queen is best. If done, right The Kings Curse could blow them all out of the water.

This might buy some time for William V, but I can’t see it lasting past that. Sooner or later they’ll need a good answer for the question: If they are so special, why are they so ordinary, and if they are so ordinary, why are they so special? The last gilded age ended with many toppled monarchies.

Just had a chewy black sesame cookie from a Chinese bakery and it’s delicious. Reminds me of a peanut butter cookie.

Complexions Contemporary Ballet is the only company I’ve seen performances where male dancers consistently lift and spin other male dancers.

Spencer Dutton is a perfect romance novel hero. Ugh. #1923 #yellowstone

SL Pierre @slpierre.bsky.social · 7d

Is the point of #1923 to show how awful life was for everyone who wasn’t rich? Very apropos. #yellowstone

I just saw 555 and Ace of Base is in my head for some reason. Does that mean anything? “I saw the sign…and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign.”

It’s a Kendrick v Drake World Series. So I guess we know how this is going to go.

I experienced something similar after a trip to Central America. The BRAT diet helped. Feel better soon!

I don’t remember Faith Hill and Tim McGraw looking like this but tbh I haven’t paid attention to them since the late 90s. This Kiss and Something Like That are good songs. #1883 #yellowstone

SL Pierre @slpierre.bsky.social · 12d

I unknowingly started #1883 at episode 10 and was kinda confused before I figured it out (my husbo finished it long ago). The writer in me thinks it would have been kind of interesting to begin the story at this point. #yellowstone

Where is the Texas spin-off #yellowstone?

SL Pierre @slpierre.bsky.social · 13d

I finally finished #yellowstone. The land went back to its rightful owners. Colby didn’t have to die. Beth dialed back the crazy a bit. Casey’s wife was annoying to the end. Needed more Bella Hadid riding Western. In conclusion, I need to go to Bozeman asap to annoy the locals as a Californian.
