I gotta get off of the internet, take a melatonin, and watch some BL (evergreen tweet.)

I did wear my Mariners socks tonight so I'm assuming that helped; you're welcome everybody. (Yarn bought at a long ago Stitch & Pitch!)

Foot in a handknit sock: teal, navy, white, & grey variegated.

On the way into the Reign match the folks behind me were saying to hope for fireworks from the Mariners game halfway through our match. Anyway I'm on the bus home now and I am a little afraid for everyone locked in a T Mobile Park time loop.

Okay guys listen up. Kanopy has added Once a Thief, and you should watch it unless you hate joy. It's Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung, & Cherie Chung as OT3 art thieves, directed by John Woo. You deserve this!

Well that's their only advantage right now; at the half Netherlands would be winning even if no one but Bo Kramer scored.

I mean it's very relatable

I forgot I was rooting for the Netherlands as soon as they played La Marseillaise. Unfair advantage, France!

I was very much Team Netherlands during the Paralympics but we'll see if anyone else decides to woo me.

Yes boss I need to schedule some PTO; my Kanopy watchlist has gotten out of hand. (Thank goodness I have three libraries worth of tickets.)

Youth (Spring) was a sick day watch; maybe (Hard Times) will be my plan for next Friday

A review of Youth (Spring) (2023)

Called in sick & spent the day watching a four hour documentary about Chinese textile workers. Like one does. I understand this will sound wild, but it was honestly a great companion to the factory wo...

That YESSS was me seeing that Youth (Hard Times) was just added. Leave it to me to get excited about a (second) four hour documentary about Chinese garment workers.

jaci skellington @wickedjaws.bsky.social · Nov 21

Ooh, Youth (Spring) is now on Kanopy. Hope they get the rest of the trilogy.

They cut my favorite line and I still love it!

jaci skellington @wickedjaws.bsky.social · 1d

Just requested four weeks of time off between now and the end of the year. Use your PTO, kids! That's my advice for everyone.

I got an email about it because I'm still on the volunteer list, but here's an Actual Article.

The Seattle Times @seattletimes.com · 1d

SIFF Cinema Egyptian on Capitol Hill — known for decades as the Egyptian Theatre — will not reopen under SIFF ownership after flooding last year.

SIFF announces it will end lease at historic Egyptian movie theater

So much of my life was spent there! Walking distance from practically every place I've lived since I was 18.

jaci skellington @wickedjaws.bsky.social · 1d

& obviously working there as a year-round cinema volunteer was literally a life-changing experience. 🥺

Now I think the last film I saw there was The Small Back Room, the last Powell & Pressburger before the emergency closure last fall. Man, so glad I got to see so much P&P there.

This is what I wrote when Landmark closed it in 2013:

[The End of an Era: the Egyptian]

What was the last film you saw at the Egyptian? Mine was the fourth Secret film, the last Sunday morning of SIFF, but I’ve signed the oath that I cannot tell anyone about it, so let’s s…

Well, we all knew that SIFF was never going to reopen the Egyptian, and obviously my relationship with the organization has changed a lot but I'm still really sad about this!

Wheelchair basketball blew my mind when I learned it's played on a standard court. Imagine the power it takes to drain 3s sitting down.

Doing some math on the IWBF European championships schedule, & grateful that no one I know is interested in wheelchair basketball, so I don't have to get up in the middle of the night to watch live.

A natural born star! (This movie has a great final sequence too, but you have to convince Amazon to let you watch the credits.)

Anyway then I had a small rant about how great government employees are on the whole, and also about the different branches of government (not all City employees report up to the Executive) but honestly I gotta go finish this Vincent Price movie instead.
