The other day, me and my dad explained the concept of DVDs to my 4 year old niece.
I also explained VHS's, and how you had to re-wind them when you were done, and she said 'because you don't want to miss ANYTHING'. She gets it.

I want to stress that this isn't some kind of dunk of Baldwin, just something that should be considered when reading this specific book
Currently reading Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin. I saw it in the library and thought it'd be interesting. This book has some....VERY interesting things to say about women. There's a scene where the main character gets offended because he has to look at some trans women.

Last week I found out that you can renew a library book online. We're truly living in the future.

I'm putting together a team, which consists of my to be read pile. I'm not allowed any more books until I've read them all.
Wish me luck.

Nothing like a minor IT task to make you feel like the stupidest person alive. All I wanted was to transfer some photos and videos from my phone to my laptop, and I've tried 3 different methods and 2 different USB devices. I've now learned how to Bluetooth things to my laptop.

Went to watch Wicked for Good earlier. Shoutout to the woman behind me who sobbed for the last 30 minutes of the film.

They could have at least taken the opportunity to ask the most Cronenberg question of their reporting career and gone “in what ways have actors with flesh failed us?”

It's Trans Day of Remembrance. Today we remember those who were taken from us far too soon because of transphobia in the world.
For many of us, we are misgendered even in death, and disallowed from being who we actually are even when we are no longer here. This is why we remember our dead.

Saw a post of a painting on Facebook with the title and name of the artist. One of the commenters said 'well, according to AI it's not by her'. Reader, it took less than 10 seconds on google to confirm it was. It was so fucking easy to do. AI people really just don't want to think about anything.

A *ton* of autism focused groups are struggling financially this year as the federal government attacks the community. The Somali Parents Autism Network here in Minnesota supports Somali families in providing culturally competent resources on autism for them. They need $25,000 by year end.

Bake off controveries are always like 'the judges are being accused of favouritism'. Meanwhile, Strictly controversies are always like 'one of the dancing instructors screamed at a contestant and slapper her with a dead fish.'

Apparently Clive Barker almost directed The Mummy. We were SO CLOSE to greatness. I'd give anything to see that film.

I've got Jurrasic World on in the background and it reads as a pardoy of bad sci-fi. You've got the villain monologing, the female character who's only allowed to stand around gawping , only saying really obvious things, the fucking hand on the dinosaur thing. They made like 5 of these.
