A perfect ending for a perfect evening 🥂✨❤️

Merry Christmas and Happy holidays of many cultures from all of us at Tranquility Press However you choose to mark the season (or don’t) we hope it’s filled with warmth, stories, and good company. Thank you for being part of this strange, thoughtful, creative little corner of the galaxy.

Aristocats came out 55 years ago today. Thomas should be asking who fathered the third one. Where's Baloo. (Phil Harris voiced both Thomas and Baloo.)

To some the naughty list isn't so bad! #discember @disney @whitneypollett @theanimatedlife @lb.illustrates #2025 #varvir #painandpanic #hercules

Fine, whatever, this random cat is your new god of the winter solstice

You have heard about Mare-bear, now get ready for...other bears? I really didn't think this through. 😕 Wishing everyone a fantastic holiday season, a better new year and lots of cuddles! 🥰✨ #StarTrekLowerDecks #lowerdecks #BeckettMariner #BradBoimler #DvanaTendi #SamRutherford #T'Lyn #StarTrek

Had a dream I was writing a script for an animated police procedural, except it was Anubis as a coroner-priest solving crimes in ancient Egypt. Anyway, call me, Hollywood, we’ll talk.

24 gifts from your pals at Sam and Fuzzy! And the best part is, you can open them all today. Zoomed in versions in the replies. (1/2)

Government services aren't businesses. Delivering mail to citizens is something we pay for. But if these are businesses, you won't believe how much money the military loses.

Literally any other attorney general before Bondi would have fought tooth and nail and then resigned over this alone. Letting White House staff take over making public statements in the name of DOJ is in and of itself completely insane.

A spilled ink phoenix for #ArtAdventCalendar day 24! Made with polymer clay, an empty fountain pen ink bottle, and chameleon powder to make the feathers shimmer in the light.

This is so perfect! 🖖🫶

Another shake-up of scientific leadership is underway at NIH after a policy clash over the alleged dangers of funding a study that would alter seasonal flu viruses. That grant is now suspended, Science has learned, and the leader of the NIH division that oversaw it has resigned.

Was it the person who also said their family's traditional Christmas Adam meal is... ribs? Because that is GOLD and honestly going to campaign for my fam to do that next year.

Needless to say, this is unprecedented and unimaginably destructive to the foreign service.

Me, two hours into trying to understand what happened before the Big Bang:

This is so pretty!

Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🐾🤍

This is just a note to say that I have eaten the falcon in a widening gyre and that you were probably saving for anarchy Forgive me it was delicious so rough and full of passionate intensity

I missed a few days of #ArtAdventCalendar, so an extra for today! Here's a galaxy whale shark, made with polymer clay with hand painted eyes, spots, and stars.

Most Americans aren't donating to charities for the same reason Black Friday saw record low sales: we don't have money. The economy is in the toilet for everybody except the rich. If you can help, please do. But if you can't, I understand.

Picard perspective tip: Spend some time staring at the stars. It feeds the soul and revives the mind.

Adventure with your cat through the depths of the universe 🌌

For #ArtAdventCalendar day 22, a deceptively simple manicure inspired by the JWST “Cosmic Cliffs” image of region NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula. I used a polish that was itself inspired by the same image to create the “cliffs” and cremes for the sky and stars.

In honor of the winter solstice, this week's Sunday snippet comes from my frothy romantasy novella Snowspelled, which is set at a Winter Solstice house party in an alt-19th century England (ruled by the Boudiccate). It's available in ebook & paperback now: books2read.com/snowspelled #romancelandia

How about dark blue? 🤩

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

Day 19 of #ArtAdventCalendar ☃️ I sculpted this large humpback whale last year, and it found a new home through Bsky! Made from coarse paper mache which I really love sculpting with due to the organic surface texture it gives you. Painted with acrylics.
