I might need to read that book. I have a lot of thoughts I can’t quite crystallize, but “appalled and unsurprised” is a decent summation.

Eep, just killed the first black widow spider I've encountered at the new house. It was in the process of setting up its web on the lid of my trash receptacle a few inches from where I have to handle it. Prior to this a clover-happy wasp and a possibly lethally injured rat were the most dangerous animals I'd run across on my property.

Facebook is half “suggested for you” posts these days which is obnoxious. I understand advertising but no, Im not particularly interested in truck driving and commercial drivers license memes accounts? Wtf?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Yikes!
Hmmmm. Consider starting a bingo card?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
And that's just one chapter of her book where she talks about other shows like SNL and Sleepy Hollow.
Just put that on hold at the library. I am still so very, very bitter about Sleepy Hollow.

I've been reading Maureen Ryan for years: she has been digging deep into the abusive/toxic culture of the Hollywood workplace for several years. I'm thrilled her book is being released, although not thrilled that the subject matter is so disheartening.
I'm also glad to hear that Javier G-M is still counted as one of the good guys. I would hate to learn that the guy who made The Middleman was a milkshake duck.

It is ridiculous. I have taken to clicking on flower seed and flowy dress ads from time to time to at least make it pretty.
Maybe headed north later today, maybe tomorrow. I guess I'll know when it happens. Might take 2 days, maybe 3. It is all a balance of when I go through DC, or if I try and go further west to avoid it.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Same.

I need a reminder. Could someone sum up?

I had to look up windows the other day so it’ll be all Pella and Andersen for me for a while.
But my much-delayed bathroom reno is finally getting underway! This has been in the works for literal years but the time and the budget kept getting pushed - first my dad got sick, then I had to redo the roof, then bat proof the house, then fix the well pump, then the dog got sick…and through it all me dithering about how the heck to choose a contractor and yadda yadda.
But I’ve got someone lined up that I feel good about and a good idea of what I want. Nothing will happen for a couple of months but it’s in motion and that feels good enough to at least temporarily drown out the “it’ll cost how much?!?” voices in my head.
