  • 📸 September 2023 photo challenge: Abstract

  • Miss Congeniality, 2000 — ★★★.  Why did we drink out of little weird test tubes in the early 2000s? Did we run out of cups?

  • The Babadook, 2014 — ★★★.  Teaching the child that children are the real monster.

  • Werewolves Within, 2021 — ★★★½.  I’m a Sam Richardson completionist.

  • Has someone already started a LLM MLM?

  • Finished reading: Something Must Be Done About Prince Edward County by Kristen Green 📚

    I keep talking about this book to everyone that will listen (why did I wait until now to read it??), and it’s a strong recommend for everyone—but especially for Richmonders and Virginians. So much of the language used by 1950s racists is in use now by 2020s racists!!

  • Who’s excited to figure out “winter interest” in the yard this year??

  • <kills enormous disgusting fly>

    <Terminator 2 theme plays in the background>

  • “And those He kills He makes alive; He hears the sigh or groan. Poor bankrupt souls, who feel and know The hell of sin within”

  • The Lost City, 2022 — ★★★½.  Romancing the Stone but the stone is Channing Tatum’s butt.

  • Finished reading: Brave the Wild River: The Untold Story of Two Women Who Mapped the Botany of the Grand Canyon by Melissa L. Sevigny 📚

    Maybe a little overwritten, but listening to someone describe plants is deeply my thing.

  • We’re living in a golden age of Star Trek, people!! s02e09 of Strange New Worlds was soooooo freaking fun!

  • Huge thanks to whoever cut back all the brush on the gabagey (but excellent) part of the Pine Camp loop!

  • Look at how stupid my life has become: Using an entire pastebin tool so I can type en and em dashes on my work computer: paste.lol/ross/dash

  • OK, “Shiver Me Tingles” is a pretty good ASMR name.

  • Finished reading: Parable of the Talents: A Nebula Award-winning novel of a terrifying dystopian future by Octavia E. Butler 📚

    Brutal and prophetic and, occasionally, weirdly optomistic.

  • Do we have any local, friendly, online gardening communities in Richmond?

  • I lost/won padrón lottery tonight. 🌶️

  • I’m running out of people to shout at about the bamboo lifecycle.

  • Finished reading: Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler 📚

    Written in 1993! Immediately bought water purification tablets after I finished it!

  • I’m always amazed that zinnias are real! #bloomscrolling

    A coral-colored zinnia with about a billion little petals.

  • Some of the better pictures I took during this year’s vacation to Hilton Head Island.

    A small flock of six pelicans flies over some trees in front of a sunset sky.

    A yellow sign reading “Be Aware of Poisonous Snakes and Uneven Surfaces” is seen behind the fronds of a palm tree. The sign features an illustration of a cobra (?!) inside of a triangle.

    The hands of a 14-year-old boy explaining a diagram of volleyball rotations.

    A forest on the edge of marshland. In the foreground, one of the trees is bone white.

    A black and white image of a dead tree limb in front of a cloudless sky. THe moon is visible as a small, gray circle.

    A man sits fishing on a pile of rocks that stretches into the ocean.

    A heron-type bird looks on from very shallow waters of a low-tide beach.

    A dead tree stands tall on a beach, looking sort of like a branchy Y. More dead tree remains in the foreground.

    View of the underside of a tall, column-supported bridge at low tide.

  • 65, 2023 — ★★★.  Adam Driver running is the new Tom Cruise running, and that’s OK with me.

  • My biggest regrest in life is not ordering one of these “STOKED” Becky Cloonan shirts.

  • Pearl, 2022 — ★★★½.  😬
