1) When you're the sidekick and not the superhero, also a snow globe for cats and this bit from our Canadian friends just made me laugh.

2) I have not laughed so much in a while - the Disney+ shorts series Dug (the dog from Up) made Mike and me laugh so much we had to pause the stream several times. We've watched the first 3 (of 5) episodes and the ( Read more... )

1) Thanks to someone's comment on one of my meta posts I discovered that there is a fandom meta newsletter over on Tumblr, so I created a feed here on DW that anyone can subscribe to.

2) Hawkeye's third episode was great fun. I was literally surprised when it was over because the episode went by so quickly. There were lots of nice action set ( Read more... )

1) There's a reason reindeer are who Santa uses, given they're as fast as locomotives, plus many dogs don't care for snow and cats have a tendency to go their own way.

2) A reminder that

1) Saw the first two episodes of Hawkeye. ( Read more... )

1) Even animals like to watch other animals, but sometimes they can also be hard to ignore. Also, regretting your life choices, showing empathy, asking for what you want, doing your job, showing your colors and making your own fun.

2) It's nice to have Disney+ again and have a bunch of content I've been waiting to see…except that Mike wants to ( Read more... )

1) I was very sorry to hear about the death of Petra Mayer, still so young. Although some of her obituaries mention she was a genre readerand romance proponent, she was also a fanfic reader. Maybe even writer - who knows who has an account at AO3.

2) Spotted this article about lingering medical treatment effects thanks to

1) Animal work partners, including the self-taught kind, though humans can still be needed for interventions. Plus a dog being very startled that humans aren't staying in their own lane and a cat who is going to love a toddler into submission. Plus, baby Appa and a beautiful sentiment.

2) I recently rewatched S3 of Killing Eve as I'd been unable ( Read more... )

1) The heron that visits our lake has been back this past week. I was rather amused that, while on a walk on the lake's sidewalk, it kept flying away from me - but only by about 50 feet or so each time. So within minutes I'd be catching up again and it would fly forward again, still by the sidewalk.

I actually wondered if the heron was playing a ( Read more... )

1) NPR's 1A had an episode about Renaissance Fairs that enthusiasts might find enjoyable. Also, It's Been a Minute had a discussion about the media's role in climate change discussions which had a lot of blunt talk that I have failed to see in many other places.

Specifically, the guest said that having fewer children and "managed retreat" -- which ( Read more... )

1) Ever seen a dog planking? This one compared to the one last week that could barely contain itself from jumping into a pool is just another example of personal differences. Also, not all are such good nannies.

2) I had a gift card for Target so I walked over there this week to see if I could find some items our usual store isn't carrying. They ( Read more... )
