HELLO!
I'm Mary. I used to go by SailorTweek, but then I turned 40.

I love movies (I'm no cinephile but I like films!), needle felting, photography, Disneyland, video games, and tea. I try to be funny and kind (or at the very least punch up).

I wish you all nothing but the very best of everything
This needs a @criterion.bsky.social release <3
Deathtrap (1982) Dir. Sidney Lumet — Reeves goes for a full rebrand and, honestly, nails it. Yes, it still feels a bit stagebound, and yet, the film winds tighter and tighter until it snaps. Clever, tense, and packed with great acting. Nasty fun anchored by great turns from Caine-Reeve-Cannon.🎞️📽️

Fighting trucks is hard. Let’s talk about how difficult it was to make Maximum Overdrive, from Director Stephen King admitting he was on cocaine throughout production, to the cinematographer losing his eye.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Coincidentally, I talked about this briefly on stream last night… after mixing up "cozy" and "lo-fi" into "lozy" and "co-fi". 😂

Obviously money is great, but there are so many other ways to support creatives that are free .99 and easy to do. And if you don't know what would help? Ask them! 💖

Poor lil fella is getting 12 teeth pulled including his top fangs that would poke out so adorably

Thor is at the vet for planned teeth cleaning and possible extractions.

Loki refuses to leave my side.

Thanksgiving has a weird history of being a scary week for my pets.
Last year, Loki spent a whole day at the ER.

13 years ago, we had to put Nicodemus down on actual Thanksgiving.

So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this over 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate Disney theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going? Watch here: bit.ly/49C6vng

Microwave ovens really were marketed like the Instant Pots of their day.

Want to cook a crown roast in it?

Do it!

LET'S ALL WEAR ONSIES TO THE AIRPORT
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."
