Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif.
I don't know how many times I've seen this movie but I wouldn't be surprised if it's north of 100.

Please share if you're in Chicagoland: a friend's 15-year-old daughter, Izzy, got into a stranger's silver Tesla last night with a pal and they haven't been heard from since. Last Instagram ping indicates Frankfort Square area. If you've seen her, please call local police. #Chicago

It's group annual bad holiday movie night. We each take on a holiday movie trope and yell it out when it comes up and we drink. We're 1.5 movies in, hoarse, and half drunk (or better).

We're watching @royalpdx.bsky.social in his first show at Kickstand Comedy via Twitch tonight, and Huddy keeps asking for Daddy to be in the middle of the screen more and to answer him. We love it. :)

I just got really good news that very few people will understand but it's so good that I kind of want to whisper scream it? Like I'm excited but I don't want to disturb anyone who won't get it?

I had the biggest panic attack I've had in a long while today. Usually I'm alone when they happen and I take my meds and regulate, but I was at my parents' and I'd already taken meds. Definitely atypical and somewhat embarrassing and exhausting. We had a nice baking day after, but thanks, jerkbrain.

An excellent cover of this song that I remember singing with a choir decades later because of how deep it gets into your heart.
As a non-Christian also a singer:
Some of you have never heard Lauridsen's "O Magnum Mysterium" and you are about to be BLESSED.
Hearing it is glorious, singing it yourself will literally bring you to tears.
