My beautiful grandmother Alice would have been 101 today. She was a wonderful grandmother and I am so lucky she was mine.

We have a HUGE opportunity right now thanks to a very generous matching donor. Between now and New Year's Day we need your help to get as close as possible to raising $12,500 to start 2026 with $25,000! donorbox.org/end-of-year-...

When you have a super cool secret hangout but then your STUPID YOUNGER BROTHER finds it and RUINS IT FOREVER

Apropos of this, if you are fit and strong (or own a snowblower) please clear the walk for any neighbors you may think need assistance.

Status update:

NYC has an excellent tool to see how recently any street has been plowed. Check out PlowNYC at: plownyc.cityofnewyork.us/plownyc/ Thank you to the 1000s of hard working men and women at @nycsanitation.bsky.social who are out battling this storm tonight.

Here is a comprehensive list of bars and restaurants setting up heated seating outside.

We ride at dawn! #spudlet #minidonks #farmlife #littlefarm

Quiet has returned but I'm ready for the 3 am scraping. (It wakes no one in the house but me and I can promise the early years when 12 could stare out the top floor window at the big trucks more than compensates).

After 12 years, Frank Zappa finally discovered the joy of sitting in a box. And on Boxing Day. Genius. #catsky #catlady

If you were worried about the lost elderly cat in Cardiff earlier today, she has been located and returned where she can complain about her adventures from the comfort and luxury of her home.

Usually living a block away from the public works isn't a big deal but it's awfully beepy over there right now.

Anyone else have a cat in box for Boxing Day?

Protect your brand new gift socks! Get your pup a MisHeleneous Dog Bone Toy. 🤣🤣

For every post I see about the flu season, I spend a minimum of 2 hours feeling extremely anxious about us getting the flu and missing plans. It takes conscious effort to get my brain to shut up about it even a little. And I know the advice "mask" but not all of us live with people who do that.

Going to have get out bed to set out the recycling soon but at least there's coffee cake??

I wouldn’t feel as if it were Christmas if I didn’t share Balmain’s 1955 cocktail dress. I can only imagine how the wearer felt, arriving in this perfect Christmas gown. To all those who celebrate, I hope you are enjoying peace with favourite people. Sold via #KerryTaylorAuct #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Literally no one before Matthew ever bothered to explain how Tamiflu works and why you want to start it ASAP. This is a useful read. And yes, get the flu vax even if there's a mismatch.

🚨A late but CRITICAL entry for #FestivePets, Hanukkah edition!!!🚨

To everyone on #JoinIn, wishing you a peaceful day that passes as quickly or slowly as you need it to. If pets posing for the holiday is a thing that brings you some joy do look at #FestivePets for lots of adorableness.

Another, ominous #FestivePets entry 🤣🤣 The tree is watching you 👀

Eeeeee!!! Super cute #FestivePets!

It's a trend!! The MOST dignified #FestivePets are all on Bluesky!

Very dignified #FestivePets!

I want to be clear here that a working reindeer is probably not qualified for #FestivePets but probably WILL increase your holiday cheer greatly!!

Coffee cake anyone?

All I want for Christmas is #FestivePets! Órla is demonstrating the full adorableness of a welsh puppy here - absolute teddy bear. 😍😍😍😍😍

Impossibly glossy #FestivePets! Just look at those perfect ears.

Another reindeer spotted! #FestivePets

Never been more ecstatic to have a lovely plastic and *waves hands vaguely* whatever tree that lives covered tightly and protected in my storage.

Former teacher here and much needed for kids but also for adults, especially older Gen X and Boomers and literally any parents who want to stand a chance at knowing what happens where their kid hangs out online.

Merry Christmas to all my pals in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand!🎄 I'm headed to bed but know it's already the 25th in your parts! Wishing you all Merry! @bobbyairedale.bsky.social @oberon-the-wheaten.bsky.social @lchanwrites.bsky.social @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social
