Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year, and wishing 2025 a very fuck the fuck off.

It's way too early for me to be laughing this hard. 🤣

Today is the last day of the Karelian stew we made for Christmas. Five dinners (including today) is not bad at all!

Merry Christmas! This NGC 2264, or the "Christmas Tree Cluster." The blue and white lights that are scattered across the tree are young stars giving off X-rays. The green of the tree is made up of nebulous gases. A composite image of many telescopes, the cosmos is here to wish you a Merry Christmas🎄

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Season's Greetings!

❄️New Codex Compliant!❄️ This Christmas let's gather 'round the fire and learn all about a book whose subject would only use that fire for something nefarious and painful. It's time to look at some Dark Elves! youtu.be/aa97TPdW4K0

Rupert, you're a wonderful bear...

We've just watched 'Abraham's Boys'. I'm not sure how I feel about it just yet.

Been thinking about Christmases past and got hit with a wave of melancholy. Things change and time moves on, but I would give almost anything for one more Christmas Eve Eve watching Mum make the mince pies & sausage rolls while carols play in the tape player.

I ordered something from the UK as a Christmas pressie for @cylonmistress.bsky.social, paid the customs duty & postal handling fee. I got a notification that it had been delivered. I checked the post box in the yard, but it wasn't there.

Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.

This is the scarf/blankie that is giving me a headache and is a pain in the arse. I love it, but I hate it! It's the Lost Souls pattern, I've made a triangle scarf already, and that was a pain, but this. This is something else. The yarn is perfect for this. It reminds me of Sugar Skulls.

I am very thankful for @merrymacsanctuary.bsky.social. It's a privilege and a joy to be able to work with you turning compassion into action every single day. 🥰

Books - I have written and co-edited many! Number eleven announced soon so STAY TUNED horrornonna.com/books/

My book Where We Stand, Where We fall is now up for pre-order. It's about the politics of Doctor Who, the themes the show keeps returning to over sixty years. I mentioned this last week, but now there's a proper post about it, with a 30% discount code from the publisher: lmmyles.com/2025/11/26/b...

written pattern. And definitely not a chart! I struggled with the triangle scarf with the same motif: skull. This is a square "blanket." Six years ago, I would have been able to carry on by myself! Remembering the increases and decreases in chains was almost impossible with the tutorial on! 😭😭😭

I was following a crochet pattern tutorial, row by row, because that's how I have to do new patterns now. Especially complicated ones. But the pattern ends at a point where the maker assumes everyone is ok carrying on on their. The last video in the series is from six years ago. There isn't even a

We paused our X-Files/Millennium/Lone Gunmen rewatch when we got back from Helsinki the other week as we needed comfort viewing. We decided on Trek. 2002 me would be horrified that we went with Enterprise! It did the job though. The more time has passed, the more I've grown to love it.

Winter had properly landed here in Pohjanmaa. Snow all over and we're below 0°C. Thank goodness I have the hexi-cardie I crocheted, as it is lovely and toasty.

The EHRC want to exclude women from femal single-sex spaces based on how "female" they look. This is off the scale sexism and misogyny. Millions of women will face harassment as result of this insanity.

Today is Trans Day Of Remembrance #TransLivesMatter #TDoR #TDoR2025 #TransDayOfRemembrance #TransAwarenessWeek #SayTheirNames *** Trigger warning for the following thread: Violence against trans people (especially TWOC) * * *

We were supposed to be chatting with Mum this afternoon, but she has just phoned to cancel. She had a bad reaction to a codine based pain killer, which she is allergic to (and didn't check the packet as she forgot... ...thank you dementia) and is staying with her sister for a few days.

No shit. It shouldn't have taken so long to prove the bleeding obvious.

If you're a fan of Le Fanu, M.R. James, Stoker and want something modern that tickles those pickles, you need to run to @alysdragon.bsky.social and request your copy of Time's Fool today!

And I see the traffic data. I understand the "why." But we really don't talk enough about what is being lost culturally from publications no longer having the ability to eat shit on traffic for an article or two a day to talk about something underseen.

There are about a million things wrong with entertainment journalism these days, but one of my biggest sticking points is that I would give anything to dedicate time to hyping up hidden gems and independent productions, but no one (who will also pay) is willing to platform pieces about them.

Culturally speaking, I think "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" by The Darkness is the "Take On Me" of its era.

I will add, she rang mosques too and almost every single one offered help without hesitation. She called a church and they asked if she knew anyone in the congregation, called a mosque and they asked her which formula she needed.

Watching the videos of the tiktoker call churches asking for baby formula to see if they would help someone in need breaks my heart. I don't know how these people can even call themselves humans let alone Christian

It's weird that the media is mocking the Greens cuz of Zack's teeth when... have they seen Farage? He looks like he's dying from rad poisoning in a Fallout game.

Controversial take, perhaps, but for all the political interfering and all its faults, the BBC is a positive institution. Like the NHS, it's a remnant of socialism in an increasingly capitalist hellscape. This is why the right on both sides of the pond are coming for it. It needs support.

Having an odd few days on the increased ADHD meds. It has felt less impactful than last week on the initial lower dose, but I realised today mid-meltdown that I was in a meltdown and was able to step out of it and reflect.
