Reading Lonesome Dove for the first time and the forward spoiled the entire book? Seems...poorly thought out. I know The Big Devastating Thing and now I'm robbed of feeling devastated 😐

Watching Vanlifers only speak up about politics when it affects them personally is 👎🏽👎🏽 Quiet about BLM, quiet about ICE, about reproductive rights, about public media, about No Kings, vaccine misinformation...but speaking out for public lands. It's giving "I didn't think it would happen to ME" vibes

I knew watching only three of the Oscar nominated films would pay off! Congrats to Anora and independent film!
And a special shout out to Hulu for demonstrating why streaming is bad for movies.

It doesn't matter that I've seen it on stage and heard it a million times, Defying Gravity still kind of makes me catch my breath.

I'm going to need every Monday to be like this one:
+ got up early with the husband & had breakfast
+ had a slow enough roll into work that I accomplished the weekly grocery shopping
+ updated my bullet journal and knocked out a few things on my list
For a compulsive do-er today was like crack

I finished the #BookSky #BookChallenge! I'm unsure if I've ever actually finished a challenge before so this felt nice. Also, it was somehow really hard to choose for the last 10 days or so.

The single digits are back in Anchorage, and my face is SO DRY. We're talking mixing CeraVa and Eucerin together and applying with a spackling tool. I'm in my Lady Cassandra era.

There’s fascinating reporting that could be done and hasn’t been on how weird and scammy some
of the US rescue dog industry has become in the last decade…though I also know why reporters are reluctant to touch it, as people get MAD about any insinuation that some rescues might be in it for cash.

this is a rather fascinating thread about so-called “rescue” purebred dog imports into the United States (which are very often bred for the export market - and no, people are not devouring purebred Golden Retrievers in bulk in China and Korea).
