#i truly appreciate that matthew goode is giving this silly show (affectionate) such commitment #and one of the things i like is how credible he is as someone who has not really relaxed in approximately 120 years #who has practiced Alertness for various kinds of threats for much longer than that #adowtv #matthew goode #teresa palmer #queue

#i know there are some rabbinic stories about the guys i know as jesus and his disciples #this i know ONLY because of a specific hebrew document from 13th-century iberia #so anyway: i don't think that's enough to count as playing a ROLE #he's just... there. #so i chose 'no role at all' #he doesn't DO anything in judaism #attested historical existence but uh? #maybe i would have a fuller answer if i read all the commentary in my jewish annotated new testament (as i have not) #judaism #and my patchy knowledge thereof

@tvarchive‘s TV Appreciation Week, Day 1: TV show I wish everyone would watch

Foyle’s War | 2002-2015 | Starring Michael Kitchen and Honeysuckle Weeks

This show uses self-contained murder mysteries as an excuse to present a sophisticated social history of the WWII home front. It is full of beautiful footage of England’s south coast. It is a revolving door of British character actors, but also features some of your favorite leading men before they were famous. But the heart of the show is DCS Christopher Foyle, the perfect fantasy of a morally-pure police officer, pulling faces and looking great in a fedora. You won’t regret it.

why don't people in zombie apocalypse stories ever just wear suits of armor? you think any zombie is gonna get their shitty rotting jaws through this?

I'm gonna rip and tear my way through the zombie apocalypse completely unharmed because none of the undead hoards will be able to get through my plate mail

How about the story of your life? Oh no. Much too long… and mostly untrue. William Holden as Paul Verrall in Born Yesterday (1950)

ppl are always writing characters doing dumb shit like roasting a fresh-caught rabbit over an open flame instead of making a stew with that thing. great now you’re letting all the fat drip down into the fire as it cooks, wasting calories and flavor as well as causing the flame to flare up = inconsistent heat source,… when you could be maximizing the nutritional value of small game by making a soup or stew. Come on

Help me find this picture book?

So I've posted about this before, but it's been a few years and it's been on my mind lately. I'm trying to find a picture book from my childhood (so 1990s and very early 2000s) that I can't for the life of me remember the name of. And Google has been very unhelpful despite years of searching. The last time I posted, some people remembered reading the book, but they also couldn't remember the title. I asked my mom and she just straight up didn't remember the book's existence. 😑

The book is about a kitten who has been left by the mother cat. The mother cat felt it wasn't safe where they were (which might have been under a porch) and brings him somewhere else. A woman finds him (or her? can't remember that either) and takes him in, and she owns two other cats: an orange cat named Pumpkin and a tuxedo cat who is kind of snarky (can't remember his name though).

And that's all I've got....

Does anyone know this book? Or remember anything else about it that I could put into a Google search (since what I have is clearly not enough). I would be eternally grateful for any help solving this multi-year mystery.
