Happy birthday to Yibo! Every time he has a birthday I think about a conversation I saw online a few years back saying something like "I don't usually find men his age attractive and I hate to think the absolute power he will wield when he turns 30." The prophecy is coming true.

On the road -- heading for Atlanta to visit @jaymission.bsky.social Just crossed into Kentucky. Prepping for this trip has been a shit show... Lol pray for us
Hopefully not taking too many liberties here: I heard from @yesmissjane.bsky.social and she is with her mom. I'm sure they'd all appreciate prayers. ❤️❤️ (I did lock this post down a bit, fyi.)
Not to be overly nosy and/or alarmist, but has anybody heard from @yesmissjane.bsky.social ?
The pioneering filmmaker Wang Xiaoshuai discusses the past and future of China’s film industry and what it feels like to be caught between the censors and the market in this latest installment of the What China's Thinking column. Read Yi Liu's interview here: chinabooksreview.com/2026/07/30/w...
Started the day with a minor fall accident in the bedroom that didn't hurt me at all but I soft-landed on one of my guitars and completely snapped off the headstock. It's at least not the guitar I'm EXTREMELY emotionally attached to, but I'm still pretty upset about it. :-(
Seriously they say this at the end of every movie. Every time. Never not funny.
I'm sorry but I fear it will never not be funny to say "*movies main character* will return in *insert next avengers movie here*" shit kills me everytime. Anyways Orpheus, Ryland Grace, Supergirl, Odysseus, you better be prepared.

Now that i’m more or less settled in my new place, i suppose i should remind y’all that i’m trying to establish my coaching business (life coaching mainly, but also business coaching, specialising in neurodivergent coaching). RPs and referrals gratefully accepted.
Also referring to my car as my wife had someone /very/ distraught that they did not know I was married. Never let them know your next move....
Had a Very Stupid day yesterday that involved not getting enough sleep, having to take my car to the shop, and then locking the keys in said car. Fortunately @crowleythesnake.bsky.social was there to rescue me and also bought me a muffuletta. Grownup children with grownup jobs are the best... lol
