Merry Gibbmas! I’m catching up as I’ve been super busy this week and have been away. Enjoy some cartoon Gibbmas Bee Gees for your Friday. 😘

So proud of the Indiana state senate for doing this, despite threats from Trump to withhold federal funding from the state.

Another important share. As someone who has been on an anti-depressant for about 30 years, I found it an interesting read.

So petty and mean. Ridiculous.

I need to be friends with whoever created that bathroom menagerie.

My arteries clogged just seeing this melted butter-covered vanilla ice cream cone monstrosity. (I like how I added a description for inclusivity!)

Perchta from Germanic folklore visits houses during the 12 Days of Christmas. She leaves silver coins for those who have been good, and slits the bellies of those who have not, stuffing them with straw. #FolkloreThursday

The cuteness! Look at them! 🥰🥰🥰

Today was #Whamageddon for me. I was whambushed on an extremely brief foray into Instagram. Dammit. This is the longest I’ve ever gone. I hurled some joking verbal abuse at the IG poster for doing that! I’m now in #Whamhalla. And for those of you who do not know: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whamage...

i like these home details designed for pets IG meredithsterninteriors

Sharing this because it’s an important read.

Mark speaks the truth. The health insurance lobby is huge. And in the pockets of BOTH parties.

Nobody paying attention for the past 24 months would be surprised to see Indiana – yes, Indiana – leading the way into this year's College Football Playoff. n.pr/4oEeTGs

You know it’s a big deal when it’ll be a story on 60 Minutes! #iufb

#WinterWeddingAdventCalendar Day 7: Molly Hullis wore what a Melbourne newspaper described as a "white fur Eskimo bonnet" with a micro mini at her December 1968 wedding to Aussie pop star Robin Gibb of the BeeGees in London. He had rescued her from the 1967 Hither Green rail crash, in which 49 died.

And at another point, my dad overheard me yell a massive string of expletives that is still making its way through the galaxy. Like Ralphie’s dad in A Christmas Story.

And thanks to @kayharrison1209.bsky.social for bearing with me! I think I scared her with my, umm, intensity. 🤣

If you want some essential Christmas reading, I can't recommend this book by @anniezaleski.bsky.social enough. I got it for my wife a couple years ago and it's become a staple at our house this time of year. If you like music, holiday trivia, and pop culture history, it'll be right up your alley!

This is a very cool thread. Fascinating.
