I genuinely adore it! Also my favorite novel so my bias is real, but also phenomenal cast, genuinely funny writing, gorgeous production design, REMEMBER WHEN FILMS HAD LIGHTING?

honestly I tried to go with more respectable films that I love like Fargo or Cure or L.A. Confidential or The Birdcage but in the end I'm just this predictable

started reading Jesse Sutanto's Vera Wong mystery series and it's so good so far, character voicing is deft and delightful

covers for Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers and Vera Wong's Guide to Snooping (on a Dead Man). The first cover sees the title in large font over a blue background that towards the top of the image, becomes blinds, over which a grey-haired woman with glasses is peeking. The second cover sees the title over an orange-red background which, to the right of the image, becomes a door behind which the same nosy auntie, now armed with a little detective notebook, is peeking.

what is this if not basically a leg!

the ace of wands from the Tarocco Soprafino which is supposed to be a flowering broken-off tree branch (being held by a ruffled-sleeved 17th-century noble hand) but also looks a lot like a ham hock

Gorgeous black kitten with sharp yellow eyes and pointy perked ears staring warily at the photographer while lying on a green trash bin.

Another pretty grey kitten with a lighter coat, looking up from a food tray.

A pretty torbie kitten with a tan-beige-black coat, licking their chops after a nice meal. Ignore the grey cement porch in need of sweeping.

Everyone, meet the outdoor kittens

four adorable kittens in various colors all literally lying in a pile on a white brick portico ledge. Their mother is also there, as a grey lump in the background.

My mom invited me to a gospel concert and there is a man playing "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory" on a saxophone and the audience is standing reverently. Get on this, Xi!

I think it was you, @limecello.bsky.social, who wanted to know if the Bluesky app was only cutting off quote posts? nope!

screenshot of a Bluesky thread of reply exchanges. The last post is truncated and the end of the sentence does not display. There is no indication anywhere that the post has been cut off; it looks like the writer just stopped writing and hit post without finishing their thought.

It reads: "I just sprinkled the arsenic onto the cake, it's not like I emptied the

screenshot of the same post, from having clicked on it directly, where you can see that the poster actually wrote, "I just sprinkled the arsenic onto the cake, it's not like I emptied the bottle!"

I was thinking surely he has cleats or toe spikes on his shoes or something but no they are just normal tennis shoes *flips table* HOW IS HE DOING THIS

Upward-angled shot of Yibo lying flat against the very sheer flat rock face he is climbing, with blue sky white clouds behind him.

It *is* absurd, Jimmy, it is, welcome to the last six years of my life

Jimmy Chin, saying to the camera in a hilariously flat tone, "I'm assuming he can move that well because he's actually a world-class breakdancer or something. It's really rare that someone can crack-climb this well after only doing it twice. It's actually kind of absurd."

five pennies in a trenchcoat@snickettes· Jun 26

excuse me how the fuck is he doing this lol

wang yibo climbing a sheer-faced rock wall with nothing but his bare hands, some safety rope, and idk magic i guess?

five pennies in a trenchcoat@snickettes· Jun 26

i love that we get to see Yibo basically making his pitch to Jimmy Chin, even if it's all staged, even if Jimmy has already agreed to do the show, you get the feeling it's really important to Yibo, megastar, to personally convince him 😭 which tracks from everything we know about him! he does this 🥺
