Oh, that ONE movie? Me, too!

Posts is very clear. Not the most exciting term, but not everything needs a special brand name. However, I’m personally advocating for skytes (rhymes with kites) over skeets.

Me: Not everything needs a branded term. The simplest word is often the best (and most accessible).

Also me: But what if we DID call them skytes?

Thank you for this! Was once asked what my Spotify Wrapped was, and the entire group was shocked—SHOCKED!—that I didn’t use Spotify.

Also, Parasite.

Weather like this is why I took the first job I could find back in California after completing my master’s in journalism at Medill. Brrrr!

I have not! Thanks for the rec. I’m bulking up my reading list for the cozy holidays!

No, me either. I do like witches, though. The All Souls series by Deborah Harkness is probably my favorite on the subject, although vampires are deeply involved.

Ann Rice’s Mayfair Witches trilogy. I read them just before the TV series launched, because I always like to read the book first. But then I was like, nope, done with this. Never watched the show.

Hey! Please don’t take my name in vain. 😂

Seriously, though, make sure you’re checking your sources for the best possible experience.

Try the Mr. Mercedes series. Not horror, but there’s a definite creepiness to it. I’m not a big fan of horror, either, but Stephen King does know how to tell a tale! If you like fantasy, you might also like “The Eyes of the Dragon.”

Got to see Jordan perform at Gold Over America, and it was such a joyous event!

@torreybird.bsky.social, I hope my pair will prove lucky, too! I have an initial interview for a new job this afternoon.

Are you guys getting SUCCESS PERMS? (Reference sitcom Fresh Off the Boat, season 1, episode 4.) In retrospect, my middle school/high school perms were not cute, so I’m out. Excited to see how it turns out for you, though!
