*N. B. I don’t think releasing a song on YouTube & Spotify works as an official Eurovision submission, sorry artists!

OTOH, if you’re wanting to be the official theme song of the BookTok girlies 👀

TikTok may be going away (from the US) soon, but still we keep getting treasures like this 😎

(Yes, I know I’m sharing the YouTube short… because a TikTok link might not work soon!)

🎶 “We could give him jelly doughnuts, take em all away
Or we could fill his ears with cheese balls
And his nostrils with sorbet

🎶 “We could use him as a footstool or a table to play Scrabble on
Then tie him up and beat him up and throw him out of Babylon”

I started watching Skeleton Crew on a whim, after being pretty sure I didn’t want to watch another Disney Star Wars thing

And it’s kind of adorable??? At least an episode & a half in. Feels very much made by people who grew up watching E. T. or The Goonies

It’s the season of honors orchestras, and thus the season when I give my students two important instructions:

1) Practice the solo! You never know when someone is going to be late or sick and you’ll need to play it

2) Never play the solo in the rehearsal space unless it’s *your* solo! We’re going to be supportive orchestra colleagues!

Still laughing about a video I saw yesterday of a Cybertruck stuck in, like, two inches of snow. My car would’ve handled it without complaint, and my car is not great in unplowed snow.

Just realized I’ve been confusing Neal Stephenson (Snow Crash) with Neal Shusterman (Scythe) for years

Maybe it would help if either one of those books made it off of my long TBR list

Can we just have a moment of appreciation for the costume designers who, when given the opportunity to design for Ncuti Gatwa, give one thousand and ten percent??? Everything Gatwa is wearing in this is perfection

@mcmullin It’s harder for me to overlook, because I’m fiercely protective of teens, and I have a front-row seat to see what happens when adults forget that they’re full people in their own right

@mirabilos @sunumbral Unfortunately we’re currently living in a world partly shaped by Ayn Rand fanbois, and it’s… less than ideal

@sunumbral I made the mistake of reading half an Ayn Rand novel once, I don’t even remember which one

I have a very short list of books it is my intention to NEVER read, and The Lord of the Flies is right at the top of the list

This rant brought to you courtesy of the first episode of Man on the Inside. I love Mike Schur, but those were some truly epic “relating to teens as real people” fails. The teens were props instead of characters, and the show was all “Har har, isn’t it hard to parent teens??” For a showrunner who’s usually great at portraying humanity, it wasn’t a stellar showing
