I was looking through some @KinkyBootsBway playbills and started crying. I first discovered this amazing show in March 2016. I took a chance on it and I'm glad that I did. This show has helped me a lot over the last three years. I'll miss it. *starting a thread of memories*

First look at the “We Don't Talk About Bruno” sequence from ‘ENCANTO’ re-animated with American Sign Language.

Sad night last night but today is a brighter day. The ewe (female sheep) on the left lambed a stillborn and we were unable to resuscitate it. She cried most of the night longing for her lamb after we removed it. The ewe on the right lambed twins last week, though they were very small. It seems that today she has given one of her twins to the grieving mother to raise as her own. This is a photo of them together with their new children.

70 yesterday and snowing today,,,, this must’ve been how they felt at the beginning of hadestown

Two brothers spent 8 years recreating Toy Story 3 (2010) shot-for-shot in stop-motion, and Pixar was so impressed they approved the full version to be uploaded to YouTube with the original audio.

The puppy revival scene comes directly from a 1943 real-life incident in “Dalmatians” author Dodie Smith’s life, where her Dalmation Folly birthed 15 puppies, one seemingly stillborn until her husband Alec Beesley revived it using gentle massage. She incorporated it into the 1956 novel. The revived pup, in the novel, was named Cadpig, the runt who obsesses over TV.

This guy on IG told his wife he’d do all the housework if someone from Stranger Things commented on the post, and the cast showed up very clear they understood the assignment.

i’m glad jamie campbell bower is getting so much recognition for his acting right now however real ones have been on that since the 2010s YA era

A few years ago, my then-girlfriend asked me to go to Taco Bell for her. The total was ~$3.40. I paid $5 cash. They said, do you mind if we give you your change in quarters? Some customer had just given them a bunch. I said yeah, no problem. When the quarters (six of them) clinked in my hand, I could hear from the higher pitch of the clinking that they were not regular quarters. Went home. Checked the dates. They were pre-1964 quarters — 90% silver. I set them aside. Each of those quarters is now worth about $14. I netted over $80 from a visit to Taco Bell. Get your girl tacos, boys.

For those keeping track: Trump has torn down a third of the White House, illegally put his name on a national monument, and is working overtime to cover up for a sex trafficker for some reason 🤔. But still no word on lowering grocery, healthcare, and housing prices.

Propaganda I'm not falling for: - That motherhood is a woman's ultimate purpose or the only path to true fulfillment - Sacrificing my body, health, or autonomy for pregnancy and kids if it's not what I want - Believing children will "fix" a bad relationship or complete my life - Staying silent about unequal emotional labor and housework in relationships - The myth that single or childfree women are miserable and lonely in old age

Sometimes I forget that Dva is canonically supposed to be streaming her fights can you imagine getting flamed by the entirety of south Korea for not efficiently utilizing defense matrix in a battle and needing to make an apology video for it

Australia enacted gun control laws in 1996 after 35 people were killed in a shooting. It only took ONE shooting for politicians to protect their citizens and implement gun control. They immediately saw a sharp decline in homicide and suicide rates via guns. This is the first mass shooting Australia has had in decades. Since 2014 almost SIX THOUSAND people have died from mass shootings in the US. Don’t you dare use this tragedy to try and insinuate gun control does not work. More guns is never the solution.

Sorry to go on about Taylor Swift, but I keep seeing "Let your daughter be an Erika Kirk, not a Taylor Swift. Fuck that! Here's a little about Taylor Swift. She is GENEROUS. She gave her crew for the Eras Tour 10% of the revenue. That's $197 million. She donated enough money at EVERY venue to top off food banks for a year. She gives money to random GoFundMes. She gave $100,000 to the family of a fire fighter who died. She gave another $100,000 to a toddler who had cancer. She gave away well over $200 million last year alone. And that's just what we KNOW about. She is KIND. She identifies fans and each year, sends a set of them Christmas presents. She looks at their Social Media to figure out what they want and buys them hand-selected gifts. Then she WRAPS THEM HERSELF and mails them packages. When she gave her crew bonuses, she didn't just have her accountant take care of it. She gave each of them a hand-written, personalized note. That shows a kind of humanity that is really touching. She doesn't see employees. She sees people. You can't fake that at the end. You have to take the time to notice people and appreciate them individually throughout the year, and there were over 100 of them. That is quite a capacity to care. Can we honestly just appreciate how big of a heart that takes? To take moments every day to NOTICE things. I once had a venue manager tell me that when she performed at their venue she went around and introduced herself to every one of them. She is the only act they'd ever seen do that. She is ACCOMPLISHED She is already one of the most successful recording artists in history, and she's only 36. I don't care if you like her music. Her fans do. She knows her audience. I'm a 58-year-old Gen X dude. I'm not her target audience. I can live with not everything having to be made for me. I'm a classic rock guy. I honestly don't even know what Swift's songs are. I don't feel the need to listen to her entire library to defend her though. She's got the receipts. Grammys, album sales, concerts, streams--any way you want to look at it, she is one of the tops ever with years ahead of her. She is FIERCE And in spite of all that, she took on the MUSIC INDUSTRY and WON! She stood up for herself, she didn't back down. I man, you have to really appreciate what it takes to do that--especially as a woman. She literally changed the industry. I won't go into trying to belittle Erika Kirk. There's no point in that. If you find something in her to aspire to, go for it. But that doesn't make Taylor less of a person. If you have a daughter who has the character of Taylor--the generosity, the kindness, and the ferocity to stand up for herself against a titan and WIN, then you have one hell of a daughter, even if she never sells an album. If you need to drag someone down to lift someone up, that says more about you than either of them.

This dog's name was Gunner. My uncle brought him back from WW2. He was raised and slept under my uncle's anti- aircraft gun. The gun crew shared their rations to feed him. By the time he was 18 months old, my uncle said he would stand up and look at the sky. If he laid back down they knew all was ok. If he growled and put his hackles up they got at the ready. He knew the sound of the German aircraft and my uncle said he never got it wrong. He said Gunner was better than any early warning system. I'm probably the only one left in the family that knows that story now, so I thought I'd tell it before it's lost forever, like many stories must be from that time. Thanks for reading it.
