What do your kids do to invoke a snow day? I’m hearing plans for backwards jammies and spoons under pillows.

My brain will only accept the ~gentlest~ of entertainments. Please tell me your favourite comfort watches, so I don’t just rewatch Parks & Rec or Schitt’s Creek again.

I told my husband to let his soft animal body love what it loves, and the series of facial expressions he cycled through will sustain me through these dark times.

I finished this late last night in a bit of a fugue state. Initially I was planning to add it to the back of a jean jacket, but the end result is larger than I anticipated. Maybe a cushion cover?

I would love to say that the best thing I read in 2025 was something gorgeous and meaningful like Martyr! or Wild Dark Shore*, but if I’m being absolutely honest my favourite read of the year was the absolutely bonkers Dungeon Crawler Carl. * I did absolutely love these gorgeous books.

The port has existed in its current form since the 1970's. The Peninsula had its peak population in 1956. If congestion and movement of people and goods are being impacted today, the only cause is the number of cars on the road. the only solution is to reduce the count.

Hi book pals! Looking for recommendations for a fantasy series (great world building, excellent writing a must). This is what husband has asked for for Christmas. I have a few options, but would love to hear from readers. 💙📚

The HBC, ending as it began: putting profit before this land and its people. What a history lesson for all of us.

I have been informed that December is NEXT WEEK. I am assuming this is an error or an outright lie, and I refuse to look at a calendar to confirm.

Spent some time doing this yesterday. If you don't want your emails used to teach Google's AI, I suggest turning off "smart features" and then trying this.
