- Reposted by Jess BowersFor this week's #ThursdayFilmRec 🗃️🎥🍿🎬 #HATM Watch or (Rewatch) "The Mortal Storm" (1940) - Dir. Frank Borzage, about the rise of Nazism (starring Jimmy Stewart & Margaret Sullavan). It so infuriated Joseph Goebbels that he banned it in Germany & also all MGM films. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p12s...

- "The Beekeeper's Picnic" on Steam is one of the more charming Sherlock Holmes things I've seen in a long time. Reminiscent of old-school Sierra and Lucasarts adventure games while packing in the references for us geeks.

- It's the last work day of the year so post a video game banger
- short story about buster keaton where it's subtly obvious the (third person) narrator would totally smash if given the chance

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers! Coney Island! Mules! A "vest-pocket tractor" called the Midwest Utilitor!
- I think I'm writing about Sigmund Freud just to poke fun at him. (I think that's probably okay.)
- Throwback Tuesday to the (one and only) time I've written straightforward memoir. Yes, there's a horse. www.stymiemag.org/2011/07/new-...

- There's a thing on here about "posting a book from the 80s" and I realized that everything I read in the 80s that felt fresh and new was from the 60s and 70s. This is because I was a child during the 1980s.

- I am so "not ready" for the holidays. Which has me wondering if I've ever felt "ready" for the holidays since I was a child, free of the holiday-magic-making obligations that settle upon women's shoulders like a mantle as soon as they reach the age of majority.

- One time Karen Russell called one of my short stories "really genius," and I'll be coasting on that high for the rest of my life (psst, it's in HORSE SHOW!)
- I ordered a new wall calendar for 2026 because I cannot function without analog organization. It blew off of the front porch before I could go outside to get it. I hope this isn't a metaphor for the year to come.
