    I have a long day tomorrow, so we watched tonight’s #Monsterdon early. Vincent Price’s role in this Roger Corman movie is nothing like the 3 previous main event films starring Price. No murder mystery. Not really any Poe either aside from a few couplets as bookends. It’s set in Arkham. I have a question about the critters in the opening credits, but won’t ask it.

    Root post for our livetoot of #Monsterdon movie The Bat (1959) starring scenery chewing, hijinks, and possibly some murder. Mute or follow at will.

    #monsterdon root post for The Dunwich Horror. I wonder if I’m mature enough to be watching this starting at the top of the hour.

    In keeping with my glee at Mondays off work, whether they are vacation or holidays, we will be watching tonight’s #Monsterdon feature in real time. Mute this thread if you don’t want my nonsense about Jack Palance gnawing his villainous way a sword and sorcery story. At least I think there will be a plot… something about a hawk and a slayer, I guess.

    Watched the first act of the first episode of Unveil: Jadewind. Hello, that scratches my Detective Di Renjie itch. #HonorPrincessDetective

    Beauties, we breathe the air and touch the earth of a world where the author of “Pounded In The Butt By My Book &amp;quot;Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt&amp;quot;” is, one short decade later, crafting guidebooks to prove love and smash hegemonic power. The tool: magical realism. This toot is powered by Chuck Tingle’s “Bury Your Gays”.

    Doctor Mordrid: a 1992 “original story” snack of a Jeffrey Combs movie that had some of the Dr Strange details filed off. Brian Thompson as the antagonist is a worthy foil for scenery-chewing action.

    The people in Quebec who make gorgeous gluten-free flour and delightful videos about baking with it (l’Angélique) started their three week vacation today. So I found a shop in the GTA (Bread Essentials) that carries it, has it in stock, and employs local couriers. Everybody should have the resources to make these kind of choices. Close your store to take time off. Specialize in what you care about. Hire people, not fungibles. Avoid Amazon and their ilk.

    In chapter 5 of the Vimalakirti Sutra #MastoDharma, I decided not to cling to the notion that V is dissing disciples up to bodhisattvas. We read a lot of sick burns on disciples last week. This week it’s tutoring Manjusri on who a bodhisattva is. Before that, V was fully present in lay society. It’s the same picture. Vimalakirti’s buddha field supports and enlightens all. He doesn’t change, but how we see and respond to his teachings (including comportment as well as discourse) reveals to us a...

    @mayintoronto@beige.party They’re contiguous, which is better than some ranged polls I’ve seen.

    #mastodharma Chapter 2 - Inconceivable Skill in Liberative Technique I see Wallace Shawn embodying Vimalakirti. It is an illusion, so I set it down. There are places and situations your monk oughtn’t go. That’s where V comes in, (not makes but) is himself at home, and clears the air. His charisma sets you at ease. You have no clue how or why, but when V is around and after he’s moved on you’re lighter, thoughtful, a better person. Life is better. You can make change for good in yourself and t...

    I’m seeing lovely photos of flowers, art, Prof Sam Lawler’s baby goats in my feed. Meanwhile, I have a discount milk chocolate moose from IKEA (Belöning).

    @taedryn I am imagining a YouTube channel “Will it gend?” with the high enthusiasm the Blendtec geeks brought to their work.
