PBS.org has seasons 14, 16, and 19-25 of the antiques roadshow and it only costs $60/yr to support your local public radio station and get access to PBS Passport. Also includes access to the ultimate comfort watch, All Creatures Great and Small (both the original and the reboot).
CAME STRAIGHT DOWN HERE TO COMMENT THIS. I give my member station $6/mo and finally I can say I AM one of the viewers like you who make the programming possible. and i get to watch all the ARS i want
You are going to LOVE Baldur's Gate 3!! The turn based combat is so chill I can get up and get ice cream in the middle of a fight and the storyline and characters are FANTASTIC. I am truly obsessed!!
I am just here to tell you how amazing your hair looks, because I keep trying to comment on your Instagram stories and then being reminded that you have your DMs closed (a wise choice). Your bangs are so thicc and I love them. That’s all 💛💛
As a Brit who grew up watching the Antiques Roadshow at 6.45pm every Sunday, I can testify to its mollifying qualities, which were almost enough to make the dreaded approach of Monday bearable. Like most of the BBC’s output on Sunday evening, it’s a kind of posh opium of the masses. And the theme tune alone is enough to give me Proustian reminiscences of hot crumpets and Victoria sponge cake for Sunday tea. Now there’s a guy on Twitter who runs an AR drinking game: one shot for every sight of a Panama hat, a handlebar moustache or someone saying ‘But of course, we’d never sell it’.
Several episodes of The Antiques Road Trip, a spinoff where they drive around the English countryside going to antiques shops, are available on YouTube!
Congrats on the ADHD diagnosis! I know it’s a lot to deal with at first but it’s a very positive step in learning more about how your brain works and what you need. All good things!
Also I’m literally taking a break from knitting to read this blog post so I wish I also had a celebrity knitting bestie ^.^
In celebration of the Earth doc getting born, Clyde bought us human sized dog beds and I feel like you need to know about this invention. They are called Pluffls. (wait til there’s a sale!) https://weareplufl.com/
not to completely hijack this post but I am similarly bereft that the Great Pottery Throw Down, a beautifully perfect show, season 4, apparently will never show up on Hbo which is now Max which is the platform they made significantly worse in every way. Considering moving to the UK just to watch season 4
Just saying, if you ever need money to sustain yourself during the strike, I personally - and am sure many others - would pay a serious amount of it just for the chance to talk to you on the phone for 30 minutes 😍
Also! Give the option to pay more for a subscription if people want to/are able! For every Substack or Patreon or whatever for creators I love, I choose the highest tier available. Your writing is worth way way more than $5/mo to meeeee

Then you can also watch Lawrence Welk, like my grandma did and my parents now do, and be soothed by the dulcet tones and period costumes.

Branderson is MORMON?!?? This is context that I needed when I read Mistborn. Should be required blurb content.
I don’t know most of these references, or any of them really, and STILL love your writing so much. Also love your haircut :)

I recommend Thriftbooks for rebuilding your media collection! After you buy like $25 worth, you get a free item of your choice. It’s great!
Or if your library has a section like mine where they sell donated books/CDs/movies or their own when they’re paring down. It’s the best!
Pluto TV has an Antiques Roadshow streaming channel…
Welcome to the adult ADHD diagnosis club!! Also it looks like KCLS has some seasons of BBC Antiques Roadshow available for streaming.
