I'm always nervous when they bring back old shows, but getting Jack Alcott's perspective on the father-cop dynamic actually makes me want to give Season 2 a shot...

Another gorgeous spread from Todd Alcott's Horror Tarot COTD: 10 of Wands is a shout out to the blue dots in red states & progressives everywhere. You have carried a heavy load for a long time. But others are now sharing the burden. You are not alone. Love is flowing. #tarotsky #vote
I ❤️ this deck from Todd Alcott. The Suit of Wands are created resemble movie posters. A severed hand clutches a sharpen stick in the Ace of Wands. You were born with the gift of a fiery spirit. Quasimodo, the hunchback of Notre Dame, sees the beauty in the world is the 10 of Wands. A young woman whois bullied, finds a skull goblet that speaks to her in the Page of Cups. Cups are portrayed as horror paperbacks.

Visiting Louisa May Alcott's House in Concord. It's beautiful this time of year. The other building is the Concord School of Philosophy where her father, Amos Alcott taught.

It's a lot of fun. I think I annoyed our guide. I asked a gazillion questions. :) :) Louisa May Alcott's grave is pretty close as well. Located at the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, about half a mile or so away from her house.

Several famous authors are buried there.

The cringe is frighteningly reminiscent of my later attempts to re-read Lou Alcott's gothic fiction.
There were regrettable Darkover references as well.

COTD: reversed 4 of Wands I need to exercise my brain. Background: reversed King of Wands Our world is ruled by corrupt leaders, but opposition is rising. Current Conditions: the Fool Joy & faith in the universe permeates the air. Love to all. #Vote #tarotsky
Todd Alcott's Horror Tarot is a favorite. I only use it in October. The Fool is a remake of a silent film classic, in which an abuse girl growing up isolated ventures out into the world after her parents' death. She is about to walk off a cliff. In the 4 of Swords, a wealthy woman paranoid of thieves barricades herself in her house. She is sitting in her bed surrounded by 4 Swords. She isn't aware of the evil already in her home. In the King of Wands, an African Prince is turned into a vampire by a white colonists. Centuries later, he is living in LA fighting white racism.

Oh Emma.

When I went to that Windsor Hotel with Dad & Magda, I was reading Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women". Dead Emma Watson? Ahaha. Louisa May Alcott died in 1888. Cousin Now, Pedro & 1988?

I Quit!

Aha Hotel.

When I went with Dad, Magda at that "Windsor Hotel" at Glória they had ONE BIG BED... Aha Three People, or The Egg?

LOL The Wind Now, Cate.

So Hitler met Clark Gable that was on "Gone with the Wind"... Or Gone with your Egg, Leto Hotel? Gone? One with your Egg? LOL. -

Considering he’d just done “The Shining”, Alcott’s migration to LA had him toiling in the margins, w/ this, “Vice Squad”, & “The Beastmaster”! He’d eventually get all “prestige-y” (presumably after firing his agent!) but what a welcome! And what classy veneer for (gloriously) grindhouse rubbish!

TERROR TRAIN (1980)

Finally watched

Peak Canuxploitation

Classic prank revenge given elevated treatment with Jamie Lee, Ben Johnson, and shot by John Alcott (Oscar winner for Barry Lyndon)

Kept me guessing. And Alcott's lighting creates worlds within compartments

Maybe that was true in #Alcott's era!

Today, there are an endless number of good #books.

So, I am FAR more parsimonious in selecting my friends than in filling my #bookshelf 😏

After some intense days, I have a uplifting spread today. COTD: Reversed 5 of Wands yes, life has been full of anxiety, tension, & fear. Saturn in retrogrde wants you to get more creative & playful. Background: 10 of Cups This is an opportunity for collective healing. #tarotsky
Todd Alcott's Sci-fi Tarot I love this deck. A blind-folded woman in a slinky red gown sits on a rock in a barren landscape in the 2 of Swords. Her arms are crossed over her chest and she holds 2 rayguns. In the 5 of Wands, a group of 5 beings, astronauts & space features, are escaping a tunnel. In the 10 of Cups, a family is flying in their personal flying saucer.

I also loved Gerwig leaning into L.M. Alcott's life and what it took for her to get published, interweaving her story with Jo's, making Little Women almost autobiographical. Which it was, in a sense.
