As noted above, I'm an archivist by trade, dad by calling, and a 51 y.o. cishet man. I've been using Tumblr on & off since circa 2009 but I started this blog in 2022. I mostly reblog stuff with an effort to share posts that don't have many notes or are cool things I find from years and years ago.
My fandoms: Star Trek, Doctor Who, Star Wars, The Muppets
Mostly though I post about great books, great movies, and great music as well as photography, birding, cats, theater, dance, Boston and New England things, women's hockey, and left-leaning politics.
My Tumblr side blogs:
MetroSoxual - my baseball blog where I mostly post about the Mets and Red Sox (hence the name)
Pod-the-Mts - where I share the best podcast episodes I'm listening to.
Tumbl-Reference Shelf - where I reblog all those really informative and helpful (and sometimes silly) Tumblr posts so I can find them easily later on.
Other places you can find me on the internet:
Panorama of the Mountains - my Wordpress blog
Street Archivist - my Instagram collection of street art, graffiti, and sticker art
LibraryThing - catalog of all the books I've ever read!
Letterboxd - catalog of all the movies I've ever watched!
Bluesky - where I share my mostly random thoughts
O-the-Mts means "of the mountains" although I've never actually lived in the mountains.

We need to isolate and start selectively breeding the plastic eating bacteria so we can optimise their efficiency, and then somehow splice their DNA into the gut bacteria of an obligate carnivore, so we can put it in our cats gut biomes so they'll finally be free of having to choose between whether they want to eat plastic or whether they want to live.
i don't love christopher nolan and i don't hate christopher nolan, but i find his grip on the zeitgeist so fascinating. i just checked the wait time on literally any translation of the odyssey at my nearest library and it's literally 21 weeks. like?!

Episode: The Lodger
Story Number: 211
Series: 5
Screenwriter: Gareth Roberts
Director: Catherine Morshead
Thoughts:
Revisiting old stories I liked comes at the cost of the knowledge of what the people involved have done in the ensuing years. First of all, Craig Owens is literally the only frame of reference I have for James Corden even though he would go on to host a late-night TV talk show in…

Thoughts:

I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.
And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”
And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”
And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.
