Started rewatching Leverage as my "chill, wind-down before bed" show. Seeing evil rich people face some consequences is the fantasy I need right now.

Cobra Kai is cheesy as heck, and I Cannot Stop Watching.

I am watching Practical Magic for the 8000th time and eating a fresh scone with raspberry jam. Enjoy the little things.
Hard to overstate just how much of the tech industryβs horrifically dystopian present grew right out of its transparently misogynistic past
Lately Spiritborn and Sorcerer, but I've tried them all.
The reason 'It's a Wonderful Life' (1946) holds up so well is that George's line, "You know how long it takes a working man to save $5000?" has somehow not aged even slightly.

Doing a quiet Christmas because family is complicated -- play some Diablo, watch movies -- but I am baking biscuits to go with my husband's sausage gravy, playing my favorite Christmas album, and there is eggnog in my coffee. Festive enough. π
PREACH!
Everything tells a story. Nothing is extraneous.
@brightwhitney.bsky.social wrote an awesome guide. It's rough out there. Build a portfolio showing an understanding of game narrative, find projects to work on, or create them. Show you can do the work.
The Game Awards stage
There will be premieres. They will be world. #tga2024
I don't know whether to be sad or angry, but I'm not surprised.
I would watch another 100 seasons of Somebody Somewhere. But if it has to end, that was a good ending.
A gray and brown cat with blue eyes lounges on a dark wood floor in front of a light stone fireplace.
She's not moving until spring.
I worship this movie. Every line, every look... masters of the art cutting one another apart with words.
Star Trek Five Year Mission board game spread out on a dark wood table.
Bird is brining, dough is rising, board games are out.
THIS. Help people. It will be needed. And help is remembered.
Veilguard. π²
I am deep into Veilguard and was very happy with my run so far. Then I watched my husband play for a bit and someone tell me not to reroll as a warrior. That kicking looks hella fun.
A friend convinced me to watch Hundreds of Beavers. So Good. Elements of Chaplin and Keaton, Looney Toons, noobs in survival games, and YouTube videos made for the lol. Bizarre, creative, and delightful.
Mood boards take time to create. π
A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: "I am so tired of waiting, Aren't you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two -- And see what worms are eating At the rind."
I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

Trying to bake through the madness, so I picked a recipe I hadn't made from my old BH&G cookbook.
Now I have half a tray of dough rolled in chopped walnuts, and the power just went out.
Yikes. One of the things I like about this platform is that it feels more about interacting with friends/seeing interesting thoughts from interesting people than pumping a follower count.
Do I really have to treat rambling about movies and games and posting pictures of my cat as a side hustle?

Me in my echo chamber:
My current project is a B-Side cardigan in Manos Silk Blend, but I'm dreaming of colorwork -- a yoked pullover like Polypody.

I used Tweet Delete. Had to pay for a month of premium, but worth it. Account is locked and clear.
Beautiful!
Thank you! Did overnight in the fridge after shaping, but will try another and give it a much longer first ferment.
Temp in kitchen is about 68F, and I let it rise for about two hours. Four sets of stretch and folds.
