Everything is really scary and horrible, and on the utter flipside, we made these really adorable valentines.
The dissonance of seeing horror, then posting "hey buy some cute valentines" is making me feel loopy.
But also nice things persist despite terror? Ugh idk.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Pope Leo XIV fulfilled a promise made by the late Pope Francis to return to Canada's Indigenous communities artifacts — including an Inuit kayak, masks, moccasins and etchings — that have been held by the Vatican for more than 100 years.
Pope returns Indigenous artifacts from Vatican Museums to Canada
The items were sent to Rome by Catholic missionaries between 1923 and 1925. They include an Inuit kayak, masks, moccasins and etchings.

I want a democrat to get bit by a zombie. I want a bloodthirsty, feral, hotheaded warrior creature who will stop at nothing to win. Where are my political animals who will fight tooth and nail for what is right? I’m sick of the high road. It’s gotten us here. We need a new route. A lowdown dirty one
