I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I gave myself Brownie Points today for a good suggestion -- Programs at work had one of the presenters cancel, so they were looking for a good documentary to fill the space, so I suggested "Strange Fruit" (about the poem/song/lynching background) one that was on American Experience a few years back, since it seemed On Topic for this month (and year).

It's available for free on Kanopy, which is a free streaming service offered through many libraries.

So it was much appreciated.

Post Toasties: We need a Designated Buffista to be traveling at any given time, so that we can Tour Vicariously With Them.

Punishingly Intricate

That is a great idea, Theo!

It does feel like I handed a relay baton to brenda.

Now tagless for your comfort.

There is an investigator on Bluesky that ids the chuds from Cincinnati (the group is Hate Club). Same group that walked down High Street in Columbus back in November.

It just occurred to me that if this new Buffy show actually airs, we can do a Watch and Post.

Maybe Jeff Mejia will come back.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Last day in London and I am finally sitting down for a fish and chips and a pint in an old Thames-side pub. (Coincidentally called The Old Thameside Pub.)

It is pleasantly drizzly after a rain-free week and I’ve been traipsing all around Bankside, Borough Market, and up and down a million stairs at the Tower. Pictures will follow at some point.

My boss and I discovered that we are both introverts who are extroverts for work, So we happily agreed that we would each do our own thing today and possibly circle back for an after dinner drink.

Aw, that sounds like a perfect final day.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Brenda, I’m glad you’re having such a wonderful trip. I can picture all the things you’re doing based on my memories and it just makes me so happy!

Is anyone here using the Finch app? I’m looking for friends there.

15,000 steps and 19 flights of stairs. So naturally I just picked up a standing room ticket for Brie Larson in Elektra.
