Twice-yearly @mcdotnow.bsky.social check: still no replacements for most street name signage destroyed by @purplelinemd.bsky.social.

(The overhead signage at some intersections lacks block numbers, as in the second image.)

A row of three images above a row of two images of intersections with University Boulevard in Silver Spring, Maryland. No street name signage appears in any image. Top row: Bayfield, Forston, and Merrimac. Bottom row: Navahoe and Seek. Overhead white-on-green street name signage with just the text "Seek LN" and an arrow pointing to the right.

"In Dorsetshire as elsewhere, the rapid increase of insanity has been experienced…if the lunacy continued to increase as at present the insane would be in the majority, and freeing themselves, would put the sane in the asylums."—The Times, 5/4/1877

Overdiagnosis panic: as old as time. #mentalhealth
Increase of Lunacy.—In Dorsetshire, as elsewhere, the rapid increase of insanity has been experienced. Mr. Floyer, M.P., presiding on Tuesday afternoon at the Dorset Quarter Sessions, mentioned that there were 364 county patients, and that such was the pressure of space in the two asylums that 30 from Hampshire had to be rejected. The old asylum at Forston, arranged for 60 patients, was originally intended to meet all the requirements of the county, but as a late magistrate, Mr. Gordon, had observed, if the lunacy continued to increase as at present the insane would be in the majority, and, freeing themselves, would put the sane in the asylums. The sum of £41,000 had been advanced by the Court for the asylums, and towards this the Committees of Visitors had, from the profits of private patients and by economy in the management, repaid £10,000, but this satisfactory state of affairs, he was afraid, could not be continued.

Twice-yearly check mixed news.

Good: most school crossing signage replaced near University Boulevard and Carroll Avenue. Thanks to @mdsha.bsky.social, @mcdotnow.bsky.social, or whoever did it.

Bad: sign at Navahoe still not replaced.

#62: Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret (2023, dir. Kelly Fremon Craig)

Onde: Prime

Um "coming of age" suave mas poderoso, contando a história de uma pré-adolescente e de sua mãe, que mudam de cidade e tentam ajustar suas vidas. A garotinha (Abby Ryder Forston) mata a pau.

I saw ARE YOU THERE, GOD? IT’S ME, MARGARET today, and I wonder if Abby Ryder Forston thinks she now dodged a bullet being in a good movie that lets her play a real character rather than having to waste time in whatever Marvel wants to stick Cassie Lang in.

8. CAROUSEL — Self-indulgent in parts, keeping sections less as a slow burn and more of a drag. But enjoyed nonetheless! Great performances from Chris Pine and Jenny Slate, withAbby Ryder Forston as the standout. And great writing — one of the most natural onscreen arguments I’ve seen.
