Donate to Standing with Patsy in Her Time of Loss, organized by Dina Willner Patsy Asher's daughter Hilary was hospitalized for weeks in preparation for a maj… Dina Willner needs your support for Standing with Patsy in Her Time of Loss

All, a dear friend just lost her daughter after weeks of hospitalization & complications. Since this happened out of town, my friend has incurred a ton of unexpected expenses, so we've started a GoFundMe to help her out.

If you can, please donate, or at least, please share.

LOL

No, but he's in a something-or-other with Jon Hamm's ex wife.

oh man, of course not. Divorced. *sigh*

How is James Marsden currently in two series, both of which are streaming on Apple+, and playing a rich widower with a teenage kid in both? 🤔

I tried four times this morning to make Spelling Bee accept "gafiating" as a word before I remembered that unless the Spelling Bee editor is a Fan, niche fandom terminology is probably never going to count. :)

This is something I just read about on Monday...thank goodness. :)

OMG: Astronauts REFUSE to talk to Trump in AWKWARD call from space YouTube video by Brian Tyler Cohen

This is AMAZING! The astronauts just would NOT talk to the orange man. I mean, I had second hand embarrassment from the silence, but I was loving it. :)

I mean, you don't really need a translator

Six foot diameter by maybe 18 inches high inflatable blue ball pit filled halfway with colorful plastic balls, standing alone on a concrete floor in a convention center hall.

The $450 Barbie Dream Fest in Florida seems to have the same energy as Dashcon's ball pit...

(note: the Fest is apparently refunding everyone's money)

I keep seeing vid recs today, so here's one from me:

So apparently I'm Generation Jones (1954-1965), which I hadn't actually heard of until today.

No wonder I never recognized myself in discussions of Boomers or even Gen X.

Everything related to this administration just gets more and more embarrassing.

😁😁

As long as we're not counting compact SUVs (i.e. the only kind of car I can drive), I'm with you.

My car's shorter than a typical sedan, and i actually know how to parallel park. :)

W.B. Yeats seeing us from 1919:

"...Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity...."

Ah. We use an old cast iron pan pretty much just for latkes. :)

We bought a metal spatula specifically for latke season.

Same. My bestie and I in 7th grade had elaborate plans to "make our bones" somehow. I read that book 13 times that year.

Got to the part of R.F. Kuang novel Katabasis that focuses on a character with Crohn's Disease, then skimmed the Library's Book Page magazine and saw a review of Finn Longman's The Wolf & His King, which reframes the Bisclavret werewolf tale as a story about chronic illness. I love coincidences.

Lord, I know!

(My mom bought me a subscription to Ms. Magazine the first year it was published. :D)

Compared to today, you'd think everybody's parents were hippies since nobody raised a fuss about their kids reading that book. Shockingly, those [non-hippie] parents must have just believed we were going to learn something and that was fine. :)

FYI: Dr Jackson worked in Special Ed at one stage in her life, & at one point in the interview, she uses a term (now largely understood to be derogatory) regarding students with intellectual disabilities. In 1973, when this interview took place, the term she uses (i.e., M.R.) was commonly accepted.

Really for my own records, but I just found a digitized recording of an interview with Dr Jackson from KUOM's "People Worth Hearing About," which was primarily a radio program that featured biographies of prominent African Americans.

If you want to hear the interview, it starts at 15 minutes ->

I took a Women's Studies class in high school (1975, public HS), and the two instructors wanted to use Our Bodies, Ourselves as one of the main textbooks. When the Board of Ed wouldn't approve the purchase, our principal - the late Dr Joyce Jackson - bought a copy for everyone in the class!
