You want me to look back on 2025? The thing that doomed Orpheus? The thing that turned Lot’s wife to salt?

@meganstielstra.bsky.social I really liked your essay. #feelings (@jeremydnichols.bsky.social gives good gifts.)

I have not been read this year's Yuletide fics because I've spent the last week or so feeling extremely antisocial but this one is fucking incredible archiveofourown.org/works/73396436

Lenée's ask is 89% funded and we can TOTALLY get that to 100% as a New Years' gift, right?

no it’s not just weapons and knowing how to fight, there’s more to it than that. really there’s a whole world of warcraft

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

it’s like Anthony Bourdain said: once you’ve been to San Francisco, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Marc Andreessen to death with your bare hands

Eyes Wide Shut is 100% a Christmas movie. youtu.be/D16d6DAPpQI

I am opening the piled-up mail, my #depression kryptonite

Surgery is 12/31. I expect to be in bed for week at minimum during recovery.

I like that mistletoe increases the odds of being kissed. More plants should offer temporary environmental status. Brawling under lingonberries. The soft yearning of a love that dare not speak its name beneath the nightshade.

Years ago I did a LION IN WINTER paper figure/diorama/paper theater set. You can still download it and print it to cut and display, if that sort of endeavor is as much your inclination as it is mine: www.patreon.com/posts/paper-...

When you absolutely, positively, have to get your holiday party guests the HELL out of your house

This particular shot, is up there with Renée Jeanne Falconetti in The Passion of Joan of Arc as far as Im concerned. The power of the close up defined in its parameters.

remember, if you have a winter cold, eat more clementines than it seems like you really should, and then eat a couple more. it will make you feel better, not in the sense of health, but just in the sense of "clementines are so good and eating them is great"

I'm suddenly wondering why nobody has written a second chance romance film for Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton and damn it brb I'm busy now

Raqib Shaw’s Paradise Lost at the Art Institute of Chicago. It’s enormous and has glitter and lickable saturated colors and if I still worked downtown I’d visit it every day. www.artic.edu/exhibitions/...

These craven, hateful, disgusting collaborators. @durbin.senate.gov what do you get for selling out trans people like this? Between this and the execrable KOSA bill that Republicans will use to wreck the internet, why should anyone ever perceive you as the lesser evil? Resign.

I never in a million years thought I would have the same job (side hustles notwithstanding) for 27 years, but here we are.

Look I love these books. They are fun! They have suspense without making me anxious! They will not add to your burden of existential dread! YOU NEED BOOKS THAT ARE GOOD AND FUN AND ENJOYABLE GO READ THEM

We’re at our favorite kabob restaurant, am bracing myself for the aggressive amount of rice that’s about to drop at our table. True story: Once split a single entree, we both ate a normal amount of rice with our meal, and then I used the leftovers to make a full tray of stuffed peppers.

Some cat litter got inside my house shoe when I was changing the boxes and anyway it’s been real nice having feet

My late mother-in-law made us Christmas ornaments for years, I think we can agree that this is some of her best work. Miss her.

Had lunch with a friend who likes queer romance, historical novels, mysteries. and Agatha Christie in particular but had somehow never heard of @kjcharleswriter.com. Recommended starting with Slippery Creatures.
