Author, Wicca for Beginners. I write about birds, bats, folklore, history, art, archaeology, things spooky and spiritual, monsters, and VERY bad movies. Ideal day is a hike with my sassy parrot to a Neolithic stone circle for a picnic that includes cheese.
We drive darkening, ghosted roads. In these last minutes of solar alchemy, every turn is towards folklore. We become one with the land's long memory. One with a hodology where every traveller is another time's temporal shade. We become high strangeness. – #DAKilroy, 1982
Goodnight from Beryl Brewer, wishing the cleaning supplies for the County Museum weren’t stored in the basement next to a room labelled Bone Depository. Goodnight from the cloud pond on Weland Hill, where a Harrowhound pack has come to slake their thirst. Goodnight from Hookland.
This is who the Repub led Senate wants to confirm as the US AG in the next couple days. It’s not about following laws—it’s about controlling women and girls with no regard to health outcomes. WE ARE NOT OUTRAGED ENOUGH! We need to flip 4 Senate seats. Please help get out the VOTE in NOV!
Nor do we want to be on Truth Social. I would hate to find a welcome home there. I would hate to be somebody who would be palatable to such a place. We don't go on Truth, because nobody needs bullies. They *do* try to come on Bluesky, because bullies need the rest of us.
Ruth Zakarin@ruthz.bsky.social · 2d agoThe burden is always on us lefties to welcome them, debate them, compromise with them, find middle ground, and generally make them comfortable. It’s totally one directional. No one is calling for Truth Social to make any room for us.
Echo the Australian magpie annoying a tuxedo cat named Gilbert in Thames, New Zealand. The pair are known to be friends, though the magpie is often described as an annoying sibling that frequently pushes limits. They are part of a group called "Tuxedoes Unite" located in Karangahake, New Zealand.
And yet the Right has been whining about restoring civility in public discourse.
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 2d agoIt was this one, and, yes, I do believe that was an All In first.
The most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.
New in PN: Moderate Democrats have a choice to make "They can spend the next three months reinforcing Republican messaging about their party & making it less likely Dems take power. Or they can put the 'battle for the soul of the party' off for a while and do what they can to help their party win."
Moderate Democrats have a choice to make
Do they want to help their party win, or do they want to whine about the left?

Those feral churches – beyond diocesan office, enjoying green communion – call the imagination. Even before visiting, we've a knowing their ivy-blinded windows, their ghost-congregation cooled interiors, refuse this barbarous heat. Offer spirit-shaded sanctuary. – #DAKilroy
Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

Japan sure is pretty. Too bad it's infested with monsters. #Riffotronic
Russ's theory about where the Green Gargantua came from is obviously founded in credible science. #Riffotronic
I realize he's been eating people and he's a huge threat, but they absolutely torture this gargantua. Setting him on fire, electrocuting him, shooting at him (not that that EVER does anything in kaiju movies)...it just seems inhumane. #Riffotronic
That horn-trilling sound in the monster theme always reminds me of Hedorah, who is my favorite, because he's completely bonkers. The theme clearly isn't unique to Hedorah, but in my mind they are linked for some reason. #Riffotronic
When he grabs the tanks and starts smashing them, it looks like Green Gargantua is saying, "I'm taking my toys and going home!" #Riffotronic
I think that's part of the reason they did the "homage" to it on Scooby Doo. It's memorably bad. #Riffotronic

I found the masterpiece that is Scooby Doo Mystery Inc. while in a flu-induced fugue state. S2Ep18 started with a song that seemed...familiar. Then it dawned on me what it was, and I hollered (to the parrot) "It's the freaking War of the Gargantuas song!" #Riffotronic www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj_Z...
