The world may be quite turbulent at the moment, but I think we can all take at least some solace in the fact that libraries, cafés, bookstores, bakeries, museums, and Oxford commas exist.

I made the mistake of checking 1950s-60s brooches on Ebay and am now in trouble... #PillowTalk #TCMParty
We need to go back to wearing beautiful brooches! I love the snowflake-style brooch Doris is wearing in this scene at the Connecticut cabin. #PillowTalk #TCMParty

It's even more special to watch #PillowTalk and know that Doris Day and Rock Hudson were such wonderful friends. #TCMParty

Laughing at people who think Ken Burns' American Revolution documentary is too "woke" because it includes the voices of the Indigenous, the enslaved, & women. New flash: those people were ALWAYS THERE. You just haven't heard their stories until recently because they weren't deemed important enough.

There is a man who does not live in my apartment building, yet parks his truck in our complex's parking lot, lets it idle, and sits in it and smokes every. single. night for 30 mins to an hour. It is 11:30 p.m. and people (me) are trying to sleep.
What's a good solution to this?

I find it difficult to trust anyone who doesn’t consider The Princess Bride to be one of the greatest films of all-time.

This week, I’ll be celebrating the last of autumn. I want to soak in these remaining days of crisp, autumn breezes and leaves skittering on the sidewalk before the cold winter temperatures, snow, and cheery Christmas lights make their appearance!
Ahh, autumn. How I love thee.
