Many Shiny Things! And A Few Curious Facts!

Being a bunch of thoughts and links in re: ‘Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story‘

But first a few random things that I might otherwise, given a healthy Twitterverse, have simply tweeted:

• Y’all, the new Spider-Man movie is as good as you’ve heard. Maybe better.

• Today I learned that I am three years younger than Keanu Reeves. This troubles me chiefly because I definitely cannot do my own stunts.

• When you need a mental-health moment: This NYT column offers a few easy-to-incorporate suggestions for activities that can help you recharge and reset. Me, I personally recommend horseback riding if you’re lucky enough to have access. Or maybe just volunteer to muck stables or groom a nice low-drama mare at a local horse-related nonprofit. Just being around the beasts can be a tonic for the soul.
