When the two-part miniseries Anne of Green Gables debuted on CBC on Dec. 1, 1985, nearly six million Canadians tuned in. It went on to win 10 Geminis, an Emmy and a Peabody.
To this day, the miniseries is studied in film schools.
This is the story of that miniseries.

I can't tell how flippant Archer is being about running away with Ellen to JAPAN? Is he just thinking of the other side of the world? Or has he actually considered living in the Meiji era and thinks he'd like it?

Basically, in which way is he being an idiot here? 🏹
🏹 Ch 30, 31: "not that he disliked the sound of his own voice", lolol, yes Newland, we all knew that about you. The reference to the gold of her wedding ring was interesting too; May's usually been associated with silver and blue, and gold/yellow more with Ellen, Beaufort, wordliness, the golden...

🏹 I'm like a week behind and trying to catch up to finish with you guys, but I just want to say thanks to everyone and especially @sarahabein.bsky.social for another enjoyable read and for the moral support when I wanted to throttle Newland Archer.

There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for this to be happening.

I had a baby die in my arms of pertussis some fifty years ago. It was a HORRIBLE death. But my fellow nurses said to me, "It's almost stamped out now, they're all getting the shots, we won't be seeing this again."

HOW THE FUCK ARE WE HERE. 😡
A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:

“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

LISTEN UP!

December 1 is Monday.
This means I only have another 6 days to get an advent calendar to you.. Those days include Thanksgiving and a Sunday.

I will be doing a post office drop tomorrow! This is your last chance. I can't guarantee it'll get there by Monday, but it could!

I ordered 2 Advent calendars from @skypeascientist.bsky.social, one for my lab and one for home.

Made the mistake of asking for input on which should go where, which resulted in my kids just yelling "CRAB FACTS!" and "EEL FACTS!" back and forth at each other for about 10 minutes. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

So this is someone I know who got snatched by ICE for the crime of missing a phone call while she was at work. She needs help and it would be good to help her.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
