The African Painted Dog by @catrionaward.bsky.social Enchanting? Can I use that word for a story born out of the horror of The Stand? #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Yes, yes, I can! Enchanting. Delightful. But not a Dr. Dolittle story for the kiddies. Nope!
“Practice any Art: music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money & fame but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow.” IAN McKELLEN & the words of KURT VONNEGUT
“White House seeks to lift development ban in national forests”???? —reported by The New York Times…. Can’t we keep their grubby hands off anything anymore?
@alexsegura.com’s La Mala Hora in #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Captures every mother’s in-grained warrior to protect her children if the darkness takes wing and swallows the world.
@richardchizmar.bsky.social ’s Moving Day in #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt A good example of The Stand as dramatic horror. People rising from a devastatingly horrible catastrophe and yes, evil surfaces within people stories. Chizmar writes people stories with conviction. It’s a beautiful talent! 💕
@timlebbon.bsky.social Kudos!💕🎉🎊 Love your story “Grace” in #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Clever. Intense. Hits close to home (NASA close)
Wrong Fucking Place, Wrong Fucking Time by @crobertcargill.bsky.social in #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Can’t dislike a story that comes close to what I would do myself if I lived through CaptainTrips. “…tonight’s gonna be fun.” Thanks for the Trip through the movies!
@jonathanjanz.bsky.social your story “Lenora” brought tears to my eyes. Not something I’ve experienced reading your other works. Great turn of the tale in #TheStand collection, #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt
Sitting here wishing that @bryansmith.bsky.social would continue the story of Corey and his doggie buddy from “Every Dog Has Its Day” found in #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt
Agatha Christie’s One, Two, Buckle My Shoe Orchestrated to the Nth Degree! Every drop of blood drained out! Sheer genius (who’d expect less?) to tie it all up with the children’s rhyme! Love the reference to King Saul at the end! Poirot never grows old! #BookSky 💙📚 #AgathaChristie #Mysteries ☠️💉🥿
1st August 1981 - MTV made its debut at 12:01am. The first video to be shown was "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles. #MTV
“Are you finished now?” Doris Day to Clark Gable in the elevator scene — Teacher’s Pet, 1958 #TCMParty #ClassicMovies Such an eclectic casting!
CROCALYPSE by David Wood & @alanbaxter.bsky.social Aston and Slater revisit his hometown. Hell breaks loose as predicted. Don’t get attached to favorite characters. Tongue in cheek the deeper you get into the book. Viciously hilarious Aussie flavor. CROCALYPSE delivers summer fun! BookSky 📚💙
“That’s funny. That plane’s dustin’ crops where there ain’t no crops.” Thank you #TCMParty for the #NorthByNorthwest vacation
RIP Kaylee Hottle🕊️🕊️🕊️ Such a tragic and senseless loss Talented beyond her years
#TheOdyssey Beautifully filmed (huge endeavor) Incredibly cast (especially the ladies) Honorably scripted Conceptually well done to retain the magic and myth #MattDamon was an inspired choice for the lead role My favorite? Circe. Kudos to #SamanthaMorton simply stunning! 🎥🎬🍿💕🏛️🏺🏹 #film #classics
Remember this? Do you know the historical significance of it? Wstch then read the explanation 1/2
Read Half A King on recommendation by George R.R. Martin, who claimed it was one of the best epics ever. @joeabercrombie.com hits the mark and dents the crown on other writers heads. bloody, treacherous, and golden. On to the next book in the trilogy, great promise lies there. #BookSky 📚💙
Agree with @lindaholmes.bsky.social But would add that the continental flag leaves out Alaska and Hawaii And I’m watching because it’s our Home Run Derby, our players, not here for the sideline adverts And can we NOT assume a Philly is going to win? ⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️🪓🪓🪓🪓🪓 GO ATLANTA BRAVES💕💕💕🤣
Linda Holmes@lindaholmes.bsky.social · last mo.I do not mind the Home Run Derby being on Netflix; I do mind it being turned into a promo for a Will Ferrell golf show.
Rest in Peace, Sam Neill 🕊️🕊️🕊️ You gave my kids their love for dinosaurs. Actors like you open the world to make-believe.
Erling Haaland and the rest of the Norwegian men's team are paid the same as the women's team. In 2017, they took a voluntary pay cut to allow the women's pay to be increased. The move came from the players' union, not management.
Still a few days left of this sale. Please help me spread the word!

After reading two Leviathan books (one by Sandman and the other by Beck), I went looking for more fun summer reads and look what I found!!! Can’t go wrong with CROCALYPSE💕 by @alanbaxter.bsky.social and David Wood Don’t worry, Alan, The Roo ❤️ is still my favorite! #BookSky 📚💙
Greig Beck - Leviathan💕💕💕 Beck and his gloriously well-conceived creatures!!! Good to the last bite and blast! Never lets you down! First to finish, you might not like everything that happens but the full Cate Granger trilogy is devour-some! #BookSky 📚💙
Cujo is not horror. It is a complex decision-driven tumble of escalating dramatic tragedy. Every character is vital to the execution of the heartbreakingly simple plot. Again, Cujo is not horror. It is dramatic tragedy in its purest bloodiest form. @stephenking.bsky.social #BookSky 💙📚
