Things I'm having fun teaching my family. Hand games that I grew up with. Even though it always felt like the girls played hand games, I've been teaching all the boys in my life the same thing.
Noooo! I was lamenting the past year about how mass market paperbacks are becoming more and more unavailable. They've been the best format for carrying around. Honestly, I wish they stopped pushing hardcover. People still want pocketable stuff, even young people.
I will even take the new format I saw which was still pocket width but the height was just a little taller. Example: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/333560/lord-of-the-flies-by-william-golding-afterword-by-lois-lowry/9780399501487/

So this is interesting. :/
How lovely to learn who this person is that we listen to and warned us to be safe on the subway. Voices that I hope we never let AI generation to replace.

This tune really grew on me, after a few years finally seeing the video tonight got me liking it even more. Love the animation in this and it makes me feel so nostalgic.
Professor McGonagall Protects Hogwarts | Harry Potter and the Deathly Ha...
Professor McGonogall was definitely a favorite character out of the whole Harry Potter series. I loved Dame Maggie Smith in everything she’s acted in, such an understated actress. I watched this today after not seeing this movie since it came out in the theater and cried. She will be missed.
I watched this movie for the first time today. It's been in my queue for a while. I'm glad I watched it this week. I knew nothing of what the story was going to be about. I remember when the tsunami happened in 2011. It was a heartbreaking tragedy. For me, as a New Yorker who lived 9/11, this week is always hard. This world sees no end to these events.
Seeing this movie reminded me of those days when people just helped people after a traumatic event. I wanted to see that coming out of the pandemic, and it just didn't really happen. But I will keep hope. This movie really captured that feeling of being helpful, even in the smallest ways, and I appreciate it so much.
