In a related note, I spent three years looking into the looming disaster that is the Coastal Bend for @thexylom.com.
Did you know that San Patricio County, partially folded into Pulido's #TX15 district, has seen a 17-fold increase in toxic chemical risk, but has zero state-installed air monitors?
me and the other scheming viziers are wearing shoes gifted to us by the king that are way too big. we look ridiculous. the whole court is laughing at us behind our backs. honestly this is a pretty low point for us, the scheming viziers
My colour guess result is 0.0046, the average is 0.02 so I've scored better than the average person

How good are you at telling the difference between two colours next to each other?

I'm sure it's a perfectly nice public park and definitely doesn't have the kind of vibes that repeatedly inspire dystopian sci fi and horror.
Reading The King in Yellow, which sets multiple stories on Washington Square, and having recently read To Paradise, also set there, and dipping into A Haunted History of Invisible Women to learn that the square holds over 20,000 corpses and, uh. That's enough cursed frequency bias for me, thank you.
quick reminder that NT's production of The Importance of Being Earnest, starring human ray of sunshine Ncuti Gatwa, will be streaming FOR FREE on YouTube this weekend

Tonight, I was looking at water.noaa.gov to see where the US is flooding. My 11-year old pointed to the ongoing major flooding in North Dakota, and I said "Oh, that's Devils Lake. It's always flooding there." They asked "Why?" and a rabbit hole yawned before me.

Yes everything is terrible but letβs not lose sight of the fact that someone has written the Headline to End All Headlines.
I'm now recruiting for a crucial post in my team - Curator: Parliamentary Art Collection. A rare chance to work with a wonderful collection in a unique setting.
Please do share, and feel free to get in touch with any questions
People should be REALLY scared by this, it's normalising refusing healthcare to a section of the community for entirely ideological reasons with absolutely no medical reason
even though S1 is fairly clear that this is a show about relationships, not realism.
I liked watching s1 and episode per week, so I've not saved S2 to binge. there's a lot i like about S2 so far (Big Weather! Post apocalypse kindness. Ongoing scheming) but I've been pulled out of the narrative a couple of times by some of the choices in S2...
Paradise S1 was easily the best thing i watched last year.
I mean, the thing that leaps out here is that you were at home before 4:30. most parents now don't finish work until after 5. the window for cooking and eating dinner is so much smaller when you don't get home until 6 and you still have to run the bath by 6:30 to have any hope at a good bedtime.
flashbacks to a woman insisting a mum could save time by getting her kids to make her own lunches in the morning because she'd made her own pb&js since she was 3, and it's just, honey, your mum spent up to 5 years spending significantly more time on your lunches than if she'd done it herself.

Happy International Women's Day!
Remember, when in doubt, do as Stagecoach Mary Fields did, and either headbutt, shoot it, set it on fire, or let your horses trample it.

Giant puppet sandworms snaking around the stage!
we're going to see Northen Ballet's Gentleman Jack next weekend and my only contribution to the Chalamet discourse is based on their 1984 and their Merlin they would do a kickass adaptation of Dune. Imagine the interpretation of sandwalking in a ballet. Different ballet styles for the great houses.
Happy to announce that after nine years of being a parent, we finally remembered to plan for daylight savings and slowly adjust their bedtime over the last week. Iβm 100% certain theyβll still be fucked up for 2 weeks anyway because DS is a plot against parents of ND kids specifically, but we tried

Donβt use accessibility βas a political football.β
I'm so glad this was mentioned
I say this at every Learn to Curl, but whether you slide deliver like on TV or deliver with an upright stick or wheelchair stick, you can play on the same team in the same game. Few sports have this accessibility
Imagine a Britain where we had used the profits from North Sea Oil to prepare for it running out and having a transport network that works rather than giving rich people a tax cut.
