December books Oh hey, this is book 100 for the year! Not counting comic books, which I think stands at 50 rn. Anyway, I thought I might like some Christmas-themed classic crime but it turns out I only really want Christmas crime if there are ghosts involved.

Sometimes all the wisdom and truth in the world can be found on the side of an 18th century Wedgwood teapot; Health to the sick Honour to the brave Success to the lover And freedom to the slave Sharing this one again because it's awesome, someone should start reproducing these.

Thank god for whoever made “this is overstimulating” become an understood mainstream phrase. It’s received so way better than “you’re getting on my fucken nerves”
