The writing for the Ed Gein season of this anthology is trash, and I just want Netflix to bring Mind Hunter back.

Gentle reminder: I am seeing more "I cannot afford pet food" posts & if you might face this in the near future/now, I recommend checking your local area's subreddit and posting if anyone knows of local programs for pet food. Many areas have small under-the-radar charities that give out pet food.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Dear #LoveIsBlind editors,

If you were loud for Jimmy Kimmel, crank it up for Letitia James.
Authoritarian bullies count on silence to get away with it; make some noise and have her back!

Many of us grew up in the church being taught to root for Moses, Daniel, and John the Baptist in the Bible, only to grow up and have our churches question our faith for not cheering on the Pharaohs, Nebuchadnezzars, and Herods in our world today.

For those who think state control is good, be aware that Texas got in trouble for creating a cap for the number of students who could be identified for special education:

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

It might just be the way we’ve been going over author’s word choice in class, but something about saying “Israeli families” and then just “people of Gaza” instead of “Israeli and Palestinian families” is bothering me, but I can’t articulate what it is because “people of Gaza” isn’t wrong or bad.

18. How do you show whimsy as an adult?

The Busy Bibliophile @busybibliophile.bsky.social · 4d

Finding my grandpa’s gun in his glove compartment when he ran into the store and left me in the car alone, and then a couple months later seeing my grandma reach for the glove compartment while fighting with him and knowing that’s what she was reaching for.

11. What was the first event that disproved your childhood belief that the world is a safe place?

The Busy Bibliophile @busybibliophile.bsky.social · 4d

Literally any book by Lois Duncan. I devoured her entire oeuvre between 7th and 8th grade.
