I was clicking through Publisher’s Weekly and saw a kitten Christmas picture book and when I put it in the vendor… @jordanmorris.bsky.social showed up in the sidebar. This librarian with tattoos is very excited to get this picture book lol.

I have a print of this on my wall and it’s so beautiful and the detail is so good I love it. Genuinely one of the first pieces of art I hung up, right next to a signed print of Uhura from SNW.
A portrait from forever ago, traditional media ink drawing of Spock on illustration board.

Every two weeks I have been watching Murderbot season 1 from episode 1-current like a weird little movie and now I get to watch the complete movie. And then I’ll read the book again cos @marthawells.com is that good.

Dave Bautista will finally star in his own rom-com ‘THE ROMANTIC’ after wishing to star in one for years.

The film follows a man who is secretly a romance author named Francine, but he must hire a woman to pose as him at a convention to avoid scrutiny.

I used to run with a pretty tough gang when I was younger.

In November, I bought a house built in 1951 that was remodeled in maybe the 70s or 80s and then has gotten the landlord special so many times every closet door sticks BUT it was a cheap house in the neighborhood everyone wants to live in since the 80s at least.

When things are pretty bad for me, I try to think of One Good Thing from that day that makes the whole human experience feel more worthwhile, so I’m going to start a thread to share them. It might not be every day, but it’s a good place to come back to if I need a boost.

And so:

On Friday I watched Murderbot episodes and then I finished the existing ones so I watched Doctor Who and I just kept thinking “I wish this was Murderbot” but sadly it wasn’t. It was still good! I love Ncuti Gatwa! However, @marthawells.com really made a robot I love.

I started watching the Librarian movies over when I saw a new show was coming out and it’s so funny to watch them now.

One last before I go, I’m so glad @dublindeadzoo.bsky.social is here so I can start conspiracy theories about what’s on the upper, *forbidden* levels. (jK, they we’re so friendly last time they invited me to visit upstairs but when I made it back it was closed, so I got a cheeky little tour.)

Everyone should hold this @chucktingle.bsky.social missive in their hearts to help through dark times as I have done. It becomes a call from friend to friend when we hear the lonesome train we do not get riled and we let it pass, together.
