Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

No visible blood moon for me last night, but at least the sunset was pretty!

Lunar eclipse was going to be my reason to go out for a walk tonight but, uh, *looks at increasingly heavy cloud cover*

The Spirit Halloween sign went up at the shopping center, so that means it's officially spooky season, right?

Nonfiction is not my go-to genre, but this memoir was so well-written and kept me engaged the entire way through.
Kate Crane gives an emotional account of the lasting impacts of a crime and how one finds closure when there may not be answers.

Well that's got me hooked!

Side note: I hate work stress, so why do I enjoy watching these shows about people doing stressful jobs? 😂
have discovered a magical show on Hulu about......the Toronto airport

it's a Great British Bake-Off style docudrama but the competition element is "launching planes on time in spite of the weather & passengers with questionable will to live"

Shocker, raw milk is (still) making people sick.

My dad's family raised their own dairy cows, and the first thing my grandmother would do after milking them was BOIL THE MILK.

So yeah, I trust grandma on this one. I'll be sticking to pasteurized dairy.
Here's an oldie-but-goodie thread I did about that raw milk farm that's in the news right now.
RAW MILK TIME

I was surprised to find most of the "raw milk cures ___" talking points from the last 20+ years come from one (1) raw milk dairy farmer in California.

Let's get to know him!

Tf? Uh no, search engine, I'm pretty sure I meant to look up this show by title, not... tagline?

-HBO prestige drama set on an RFK Jr ADHD ranch, revolving around residents' attempts to escape

it's a weekly TV series

I'm very lucky to have access to more than one library system. Although this can happen too, I guess 😅
