Once, an old bear found a girl weeping in a churchyard, close to his cottage. He took her home & tucked her up, & fed her cloudberries & plain cake & let her sleep for days & days under cold linen sheets & feather eiderdowns, & he didn't speak, not one word, unless she wanted to.
I want to sleep for days and days under cold linen sheets.

Computers have like two USB-C ports and you’re supposed to use hubs (in your monitor for example) but then accessories don’t work reliably with the hubs, and the manufacturers rejoin you to plug the devices directly into the computer instead, which you’d absolutely do if it had more than two ports.

Right? TOS and TNG were proper ethical teachers. Growing up with this stuff, I foolishly assumed the whole world aspired to this moral mindset.
Rewatched some Star Trek tonight.
Still wild how a show about warp drives and weird nebulae ends up teaching the cleanest lessons about being human.
Every episode says the same thing in its own way:
‘Be curious. Be brave.
…Try not to fire phasers unless you really have to.”

Another reason why, as a Canadian, I will NEVER set foot in this country again. This is cruel and sad. The USA is so f*cked. Half of this country thinks this is OK.

I adore Agnes Moorhead.
Remembering Agnes Moorehead, born on today's date in 1900. I loved her in so many films, including Dark Passage, Mrs. Parkington, Caged, and Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte, and in TV series like The Twilight Zone and Bewitched. What are your favorite Agnes Moorehead performances? #filmsky

Dear neighbours: How about picking this guy for your President next time? Fond regards, Canada 🇨🇦
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Great piece on Trump's 'Quiet, piggy' moment. This phrase could be the new shorthand way to explain how abusers silence their victims. Keep quiet or be punished cruelly.

Federal workers aren’t furloughed.
Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.
Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.
