My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already.
It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.

This is the truest thing ever written. We aim for some outward measure when it’s really all about how you live life on the daily.

Everything is terrible right now in general, but in personal good news, my book has a cover and I'm so excited to share it!!!

Selling Out Santa is about Hollywood's manipulation of the Christmas holiday for socially conservative ends in the early Cold War 🗃️
www.barnesandnoble.com/w/selling-ou...

A book cover from De Gruyter. A faded American flag's red and white stripes sets the background. In the foreground are three Christmas baubles: a darker red ball is in front coming in from the left, a white ball is behind it, and a light navy blue ball hangs behind that. White text reads the title: Selling out Santa Hollywood Christmas Films in the Age of McCarthy. On the blue ball white text reads Vaughn Joy and the series name pop culture in context

They want you to believe that people dancing in inflatable animal suits can't change the world when, in fact, it's the only thing that ever has.

coke goes with a cheeseburger like red wine with steak

i do in fact make the rules

Theresa Therrien @tdtherrien.bsky.social · 2d

Because orchestrated, curated interactions in film, television and other media became the baseline even though they aren’t real, so now real interactions look and feel ridiculous.
