The speckled hopping Windelina, while endangered, should not be presumed to be defenseless. Attack modes include: - Singing Broadway musical show tunes until you comply with the sing along - dronking all your whiskey - ranting about late stage capitalism

One of my old derby teammates from MN Coli @shecoli.bsky.social is running a marathon in Cape Cod this morning and I’m sending her “motivational” texts while I’m lying in bed (like “hey, I just woke up - u doing anything?”)

This is the kind of friend I am

This is why people love me

I did not read last night (sorry @paulcornell.bsky.social )

I did crochet (not happy with results, need to frog it and consider different stitch)

And watch CRIMSON PEAK which hubs had never seen
(Such GORGEOUS costumes and set design)
windelina.bsky.social
The “brainfeel” of focused reading is the goal - absolute absorption

Which is counterproductive to crafting

So
I enjoy them both much more when that is all I am doing
(I listen to music while sewing/crafting and/or re-watch fav movies tho - things where I can miss 3 minutes and not get lost/care)
windelina.bsky.social
In theory, yes
But invariably I need to focus for a few minutes on “wait - how many stitches per row/putting in a zipper/where’d the seam ripper go” and I miss part of the book and then I have to rewind

And so it becomes start and stop and I don’t get to fall into flow with the story

I feel like your recommendation might be biased…

But it IS still a good idea…

I’ve also checked out @paulcornell.bsky.social’s LONDON FALLING so I *could* spend the weekend just reading but I have sewing and crochet projects that are also calling

My autumnal impulses at war!
Craft or read?

These are the travails I endure as I foolishly dive into ongoing series

Headcanon Sidenotes
- Vicar Lizzie looks a lot like Paul’s lovely spouse whom I’ve met and sing karaoke with
- Judith is Granny Weatherwax
- And Autumn looks like a film friend from Fantastic Fest

A couple of weekends ago, I gulped down the first three in @paulcornell.bsky.social’s WITCHES OF LYCHFORD series (thru my local library)
I’ve got the 4th but I’ve been busy & it’s taunting me - but maybe tonight!

But the library doesn’t have #5
And #6 just came out so not that either (yet)

While in a training on emotional intelligence, I shared that one of my first strategies when I’m stressed or angry is:

The Group Chat

The facilitator (an older White man) seemed bemused

But I can’t be the only one who immediately turns to my curated cronies who will back me up and pump me up

Thriller to me is stuff that is tense and the tension is scary but there isn’t a lot of actual on screen scares/kills

Haunted house movies can be thrillers (to me) (like The Changeling)

Psychological thrillers are when we rely on the idea of things being horrifying (Silence of the Lamsbs)

Found THE SENTINEL (1977) on Netflix and holy fuck -

EVERYBODY is in this film

Ahhh but have you watched STARGATE INFINITY (the kids animated series)?

Me and two friends are on a quest to watch all Stargate video media (we even ended up with the Stargate RPG as a side quest)

(Personally SGU has been the weakest for me but that’s cuz it ended just when it was getting good)

Here's an article that has the full list of people performing at the Riyadh comedy thing... many are not surprising, some genuinely make me sad they are going, and many more i have never heard of.

Also, fuck this event

The ongoing Riyadh Comedy Festival features some of the biggest names in comedy, but has sparked backlash online.

iMovie is ridiculously user friendly and can give rather fantastic results fast

Nothing quite like pancakes after two days of not eating

EL PANCAKO!
Gingerbread pancakes with butter and sugar (I don’t like how sticky syrup is)

Listen
I appreciate the Dems standing their ground, but when the entire GOP House membership doesn’t even show up (yesterday), I’m not sure how much ooomph it took to stick to their guns honestly

Oh!

My post colonoscopy meal?

BBQ brisket

Yesssssssss
windelina.bsky.social
And now, even tho I told her I would take today off, my boss is asking where I am

🙄
windelina.bsky.social
Since my colonoscopy was literally the last one of the day, I took today off as a treat. 1st day of Spooky Season and a day off!

I’m gonna buy a pumpkin spice cake from Trader Joe’s and maybe read or crochet (even if it will be almost 90 here today, I want to embrace the cozy)

Have you seen this?

One way to keep Google from giving you an AI answer - just add “does Trump have dementia” to the end of your query

Do it for the LOLS
