I still think about the night I saw "Dances at a Gathering" and "Firebird."
If anyone would like to watch some ballet, PBS Passport has "Serenade," "Square Dance," and "Times Are Racing" through a Great Performances episode.
This pedestrian is very excited for narrower, more walkable streets!
The extra insult in that he has posted photos of himself wearing a New York City Ballet hat in the past!
I really do think streaming TV and phones had temporarily damaged my capacity for reading, which was immensely depressing, and sitting with some T. H. White has been quite restorative.
Devastating that this anti-war Arthurian epic is forever relevant.
I finished rereading The Once and Future King (a gorgeous @foliosociety.bsky.social edition) last night and I think it healed part of my reading brain. First read when I was 11 or 12.
What a perfect fit! Congrats!
My mother’s maiden name so that I never forget (my mom couldn’t recall her own mother’s maiden name at one time). But it also follows a pattern on my dad’s side where middle names are often women’s old surnames.
I do like to use it in full when I can.
This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆
There's really not an option if the USPS puts something in the wrong PO Box, is there? This is the best case scenario as to what has happened.
Tried to physically go to the PO Box and pick them up but was told I need a key. The problem is that these have been delivered for so long that no one in the office knows where the key is!
Undergoing the dumbest, Kafkaesque process of trying to get a hold of packages that are marked delivered to my office PO Box but have never actually made it to the office itself.
I feel like they stand for something we should aspire to but in a very American way (Dolly Parton).
While biathlon has all the drama, it's lovely to see that everyone in cross country skiing is happy for Ben Ogden and his silver because he's just a really nice guy.
gonna need to see the completed Joan of Arc mittens
it's perfect for heating up a single portion of soup
Low stakes, but they did green screen New Haven/Yale for After the Hunt: www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3fa...

There’s a way I think the wood shop could have taught comparable you-should-know-this schools but it was not using a band-saw to make a pine cutting board.
In middle school (early 2000s) we rotated between home ec, wood shop, and metal shop. The home ec stuff by far was the most useful. There was no reason a bunch of 12 year olds had to use a bandsaw.
Tough that this is apparently one of the podium gear options. Who will opt for this over the jacket where you can inflate/deflate for maximum comfort?
The maple syrup guy at my farmer's market refuses to call Grade B anything other than Grade B, like a true king.
Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.
Here is a photo he used for several accounts.
A female Downy Woodpecker showcasing couture fashion by wearing a snowflake, a one-of-a-kind piece.
I grew up with Shaker furniture my dad made and I can't tell if I love the furniture because it is extremely nostalgic and full of childhood to me or if the Shakers just figured out furniture and I learned that early.
In CT the suburbs are better off than the cities theater-wise! Saying that as a New Havener without a car who can only go see a first run movie if a group of friends decides to go and I can snag a ride.
As someone from a very small NH town (it is truly more accurately a village) that was also reasonably close to some lovely NH cities, I'm convinced that the high rates of agnosticism/atheism in NH explained much. I blame a lot of the right wing weirdos on the extremely large legislature.
The Yale Film Archive Spring schedule . . . beautiful stuff.
A carved wooden object with a point at one end and a curved edge at the other.
Made a combined point turner and Hera marker today in my dad’s shop. He handled the bandsaw while I flailed about with spokeshaves, files, and other hand tools. Given that the only other thing I have made in his shop was a wooden cutting board out of a slab of walnut, I am pretty pleased.
Obviously we're in hell, but isn't the Kennedy Center by law a living memorial to JFK?
