One thing I know I'm too old for is debating if facts are real with a person who looks like my 1997 boyfriend and is ALSO in that "it's spelled Xris" phase. I mean,you do you, boo, but I'm 47 and did that ish 30 years ago.

Halfway through the series the narrators change, and is one of the few times that I feel like they both did an excellent job in their own way.

The book version of Mary Poppins is far superior, and this is one of my favorite lines, in response to Mrs Banks asking if she can manage the errands with a broken pram. The audiobook narrator absolutely nails it and made me laugh out loud. 📚💙

9 years ago we were told this was a Saint Bernard mix. Had no idea at the time that Great Pyrenees came in black & white. You wouldn't believe how many professionals have told us she's one of the best behaved GP they've ever seen. 🫠

Ron Swanson in a dog suit. She's been around too long to rehome but I still fantasize about it every day. 😅

I tossed her outside 10 min ago because she stood on the desk to scream at a passing dog and she literally hasn't shut up for 1 second since.

To be fair, I RARELY put up Christmas decorations the weekend after Halloween. But I'm not opposed to it. (Also I think we need a new tree this year and I am waiting for sales.)

One thing I will always appreciate about Bluesky is that they don't squash links, so I can start my morning with an article like this. More joy plz.

Did you know Disney's Wilderness Lodge has an 82' fireplace? It's designed to mimic the Grand Canyon, and each floor has a little shadow box about the fossils of that level's era. It's also a nod to Mary Colter, designer of Bright Angel Lodge.

I pulled up this thread while trick-or-treating to distribute jokes to teenagers

In St Louis it's a tradition for kids to tell jokes during trick or treating. I will catalog some of my favorites:

Just got off the phone with a roofing company we gave a deposit to in July, who still doesn't know when we will be scheduled, since ICE is harassing them even if their labor is legal. Fuck this timeline, I swear.

It really feels like dusting off the cobwebs of my brain. I had forgotten about TV having an element of surprise before binging became a habit.

Follow-up: once we put on the Pokémon channel, she saw the beauty of random surprise TV. And it was actually good for us to remember the Before Times, when commercials made you get up to do something else real quick. I recommend trying it.
