The only good thing I can say about AMC's Mayfair Witches that Harry Hamlin was the only person on that show who understood the assignment and I can absolutely see Lestat and his Cortland Mayfair hanging out. #TheVampireLestat Read a deep dive on the latest episode here: https://twp.ai/9OYt4j

Huge, huge props to Sheila Atim for managing to embody Akasha at all, let alone in the extreme situation we saw her in. #TheVampireLestat Read a deep dive on the latest episode here: https://twp.ai/9OYcUN

Part of the beauty of episode five, New York, is that it proves there is a path where you take the books as a loose inspiration and make them your own #TheVampireLestat Read a deep dive on the latest episode here: https://twp.ai/9OYcUK

Given that Gabriella wants to bring about the vampire takeover of the world, I’m kinda wondering why we’re not following her as our lead. #TheVampireLestat Read a deep dive on the latest episode here: https://twp.ai/9OXEmX

The vampire Lestat looking as though he's got a speech bubble where he's saying what's in the quoted post below.

TBQ@tbqtalks· Jun 27

I won’t get into book spoilers but suffice it to say it’s worth noting who Lestat says Akasha's name to. Because yeah: who or what is an Akasha? #TheVampireLestat Read a deep dive on the latest episode here: https://twp.ai/9OWxQb

Tell me “I’m your vampire’s favorite vampire” doesn’t sound like something Lestat would say. #TheVampireLestat Read the episode analysis here: https://twp.ai/9OXo1s

When your mom wakes up from a nap it is your job to curl up on top of her and purr. This is a very serious responsibility for kitties.

Extreme closeup of the top of a black cat's head. so much so that all you can really see is an ear. That is because she's curled up right by my face and this was the best angle I could manage with my phone.

Her clothing makes you feel the discrimination Al-Hashimi faces every day of her professional life simply for existing as a woman of color in a white male dominated space.#ThePitt Read more here: https://twp.ai/9OUf5Y

Gotta be someone though, right? Surely somebody is wearing something that creates a connection to Al-Hashimi?#ThePitt Read more here: https://twp.ai/9OUf5Z

Maybe you look at Al-Hashimi’s styling and think it’s perfectly fine. But maybe you notice that these details of how she looks means that she doesn’t match anyone else in the ER. She doesn't fit.#ThePitt Read more here: https://twp.ai/9OUf5a

With no other information to go on about Al-Hashimi, one of the first things we notice about her hair is that it’s curly. As in naturally curly.#ThePitt Read more here: https://twp.ai/9OUf5T

What could costume designer Lyn Paulo even try to do here? It’s not like she can put Al-Hashimi in a lobster costume for a 15 hour shift. #ThePitt Read more here: https://twp.ai/9OUf5U

As I watched season two of The Pitt I noticed how one character, Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi, was an excellent example of why AI can’t replace humans. #ThePitt Read more here: https://twp.ai/9OUf5V

Nola would like it to be known that she will help me eat this cheese if I need help eating cheese. It's no trouble at all, really.

A black German Shepherd is lying down on the couch next to a plastic tray with cheese squares on one side and Triscuits on the other. She would very much like to help with the eating of this cheese out of the goodness of her heart.

No idea where Zella is. It is a mystery.

The tail and two back feet of a black cat stick out from underneath a bed. She either thinks she is invisible or she is trying to audition for the part of the Wicked Witch of the East.

There's so much that can be talked about with Autumn Durald Arkapaw's work in Sinners. But among the many things is that even just the framing of this shot tells you what's going to happen to Smoke and Stack by the end of the film. #Oscars

Stack and Smoke in Sinners from the scene where they are negotiating the purchase of the juke joint.

The world is horrible, so Zella is here to curl up on your chest and apply purr therapy.

A black cat wearing a green plaid bow tie is curled up on her side on the chest of yours truly. Sadly in a photo you can't hear her but she's purring like a motorboat.

Once again I care about exactly zero other achievements in Palia besides if Tau approves of me. Clearly this latest development means I've won the game. For those who do not play Palia, given the content of this screencap I feel a need to emphasize that Tau is a dog.

A screencap of text from the game Palia which reads "(Tau gives your hand a big lick. Clearly, this means he's proud of you!)"

TBQ@tbqtalks· Feb 14

As far as I'm concerned my @playpalia.com life goals have been achieved.

An achievement banner from Palia saying "Your relationship with Tau changed to: Scritchmaster"

Got my whistles from @mostlybree.kitrocha.com along with a super cute tiny dragon. Love being able to keep them handy in any situation now by having them in multiple places. Such as this one on my bag for taking Nola out to potty.

A picture of a purple and black Pet Ami bag which is used to hold treats and potty bags and the like when you take your dog out for a walk. A 3D printed whistle in white with purple-blue accents along the side hangs off of one of the bag's zipper thanks to a keychain carabiner.

Nola has joined them for an important update that if your mom only needs one pillow on the couch to sit on then the other two are yours by law.

A black German Shepherd dog is curled up over two whole seats on the couch, looking very comfy in her nap. Behind her are two black cats. The one on the right is less visible as she's blocked from view by the pillows on the back of the couch. The one on the left is in full view. You know the one on the left is Zella because her front paw is sticking out. Zella always has a paw sticking out.

TBQ@tbqtalks· Feb 1

Zella and Fia hope everyone is staying warm and cuddling with a loved one.

Two black cats are curled up next to one another on top of a black and white plaid blanket. The blanket is on top of a radiator so it is very warm and good for snuggling.

Okay, game, am I offering my womb or someone else's? I'm fine either way. I just don't want to make two trips if I guess wrong.

A riddle from the game Palia which reads "The strange writing says: 'Knowledge grows the mind even in times of strife, To enter here, you must supply that which grows life.'"

On the plus side Nola loves the snow so she was thrilled to be outside in it. On the downside it was hard for us to find a spot where she could pee since the snow is up past her butt and still accumulating. Gonna be interesting later when we have to do the same thing but in the dark.

A black German Shepherd dog walking along what currently passes for a clear path in the current snowstorm. On either side of her is snow accumulation that goes up to her sides. Don't worry about her being out in the cold and snow, she dragged me out as far as she could go because as soon as we walked outside she was freaking THRILLED and couldn't wait to explore and sniff everything.

Nola spots a squirrel while out in the snow.
