It's one of the reasons honoring the Dead is part of my practice. The need for them to be seen, heard, not forgotten. Why I clean the headstones. Why I honor the Ancestors/Unknown Dead every full moon. Why they're part of my daily prayer.
No one wants to be forgotten.
This eppy nails that.

I love this series so much. It's brilliant. But the 6th eppy "Two Storms" raises it to another level. The opening scene doesn't have its first edit until 20 minutes in; impressive technical mastery. Everyone's performances are on point & I always cry at the end. "I'm here and no one can hear me."🧵

My Squishables have been multiplying since the pandemic lockdown.

This four-panel black-and-white comic features two stick-figure characters and a stuffed toy.

- Panel 1: The first person asks, “Is that a cuddly toy?!” The second person, holding a small seal toy, replies, “Yes, my little seal. I found it in a box with my childhood toys.”

- Panel 2: The person with the seal says, “Recently, life has got such a struggle, that I thought my little seal could still give me some moral support. Like it used to!” The other person listens attentively.

- Panel 3: The first person says, “Wait here. Maybe I can find my childhood cuddly toy,” and walks away.

- Panel 4: Both characters sit together, each smiling while holding their own cuddly toy — one has the small seal, and the other holds a teddy bear.

The comic is signed “heyokay” in the bottom right corner.

Eye of newt and toe of frog 🌱 🐸
Wool of bat and tongue of dog
Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting
Lizard’s leg and owlet’s wing
For a charm of powerful trouble
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble
Double, double toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble 🌿 🦎

"Black Coffee in Bed" by Squeeze was the first music video I watched on MTV. It was revolutionary.

Today I've been focusing on horror movies I've always wanted to watch, but never got around to. My TBW pile?
🟢 Ghost Story (1981)
🟢 Sinners (2025)
🟡 Candyman (1992)

I'm a fan of Tony Todd from his work on Star Trek. Great actor. Amazing voice. 🕯️ Looking forward to Candyman.

I finally watched Sinners. A refreshing, original take on a timeless horror story. They definitely did their research on the time period and life in the Delta.
There were a few creature similarities to Midnight Mass, but overall, well done. And shout it to the root worker character!

1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups.

The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people.
