I rewatched The Haunting of Bly Manor over the weekend and it’s still a kick in the feels but as much as I love Dani and Jamie, The Haunting of Hill House (and Theo Crain) is still my favorite.

Today sure has made it easy to tell who identifies with the white guy who had a "Nazi phase" and who identifies with the person who has to worry whether any given white guy they meet is in their "Nazi phase"

I find it hilarious that so many people are mad at Disney about saying no to a Ben Solo movie when it’s probably the smartest thing they’ve ever done with the ip. Like, y’all bitched about Palpatine returning in TROS but because they wanted to bring back a dead character you like it’s now okay.

Both the U.S. marshal and the immigrant were shot by federal officers. You’d never know that from this headline.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

This is the time to:
* give to No Kid Hungry
* find your local community fridge & pantry
* talk to neighbors and get to know them
* if you can’t give $ give 💪🏼

Soup kitchens, distribution centers and pantries need VOLUNTEERS.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Seeing Darth Vader trend for all the wrong reasons is yet another reminder of how much right-wing people generally lack media literacy and don't get how many beloved IPs and works of fiction (especially sci-fi and fantasy) are very anti-fascist.

And don’t even get me started on the stupid World Between Worlds theories, that’s not how the WBW works and Rebels made that very clear.

Good, I can’t stand Ben Solo and his fans are almost as annoying as the culture war idiots in the fanbase. I’d take Andor, Ahsoka, Rogue One, and The Acolyte, or really almost anything over a movie about trying to find Ben Solo.

Adam Driver reveals he was developing a new Star Wars movie ‘THE HUNT FOR BEN SOLO’ with Steven Soderbergh

• Was set after ‘The Rise of Skywalker’

• Lucasfilm loved the idea but Disney said no — “They didn’t see how Ben Solo was alive”

If you’re gonna watch The Perfect Neighbor on Netflix be aware that it is told through police body cam footage and there are scenes that generally would not be shown in other documentaries. Also, it captures some very traumatic moments for kids on camera and it’s tough to watch.

If your response to the possibility of folks not having SNAP benefits next month for the holidays is that you don’t feel any sympathy for the folks affected that voted for him, YOU’RE PART OF THE PROBLEM. EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO FOOD AND NOT GO HUNGRY. You’re no better than his supporters.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

They say you’ll get it when you’re older
But I just understand it less
How’s the world so god damn ugly
The older that I get

It’s like it just keeps gettin’ colder
And it’s fuckin’ with my head
I woulda stayed young if I’d known
This was the older
The older that I’d get

It amuses me that there are people who are surprised that there are people that order the same thing every time they go to a restaurant. I’m spending my adult money on food I know I like, because I don’t want to waste my money on something I might not like which wastes food, money, and time.

I grew up on country music so the infestation of bro country turned me away from country music outside of a few artists that absolutely were not bro country, so I have to say that it’s wonderful to see more artists and music in the genre that align with country music’s roots.

Knowing how little Marisha prepared for C4, because she’s busy af, makes me love Murray even more. Also, them calling Murray the darkest timeline Marisha cracks me up. #CriticalRole #Campaign4

I’ve been trying to keep my social media to just fandom stuff because I don’t trust those in charge and also as a bit of pressure relief because every time I look at the news or folks filming at protests my heart breaks seeing everything I’ve said for years would happen happen in real time.
