Some highlights of my year in reading. That is, books I read and particularly enjoyed in 2025 and recommend to you, in approximate order of publication—partly as reminder that one can never be "late" to a book, this list begins in the previous century (with books I am very late to indeed)

@soengery.bsky.social It's too late for predictions, but I couldn't pass up the chance to draw a skeleton

Tonight, starting at 7 pm Eastern!! #SkyFundathon

I will also be posting songs throughout the night. Follow the hastag #SkyFundathon2026 to keep up with the music, and donate to the @psabortionfund.bsky.social at the following link: secure.actblue.com/donate/skyfu...

Here are the top 20 books I read this year. It’s one book per author, and organized into 4 categories: graphic novels, romance, other fiction, and non-fiction.

On Love (2025) - Tender branches, clinging roots: plum cognac, vetiver caramel, red labdanum, tobacco root, Turkish rose, and nutmeg. #SOTD #BPAL gosh this one is gorgeous!

I haven’t had a cold or flu in so long cause I mask up but this year I’ve been sick since mid-November and it blows. I love masks. I will never stop wearing them I hate the fucking flu

Gingerbread & Leather (2020) - Ho ho ho: black leather, gingerbread, clove, and tobacco. #BPAL #SOTD the good stuff

I still wear a mask in public and get weird looks from people, but I don't care. I haven't been sick since 2019, so I will keep wearing them when I go shopping.

But in lieu of that, we can do it together. 5 and 10 and 20 dollars at a time!

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Jólabókaflóðið (2019) - A dribble of candle wax, distant hearth-smoke, a fleck of chocolate Yule log, and aged, yellowing paper bound by well-loved leather that has passed through many gentle hands. #SOTD #BPAL

You ready for our 2026 Valentines?? The art is ready for ya 😍 As with everything on our shop, sales of these valentines support @skypeascientist.bsky.social! This year's cards were designed by Philly artist @aprilfinfrock.bsky.social! Obsessed with how these turned out. order at SquidFacts.net

I didn't bother reading it (thank you for doing the unpleasant work, Kate!) but what bothers me most about this, I think, is the smug implication by the 'writer' that her time is so much more important than the reader's. "I use AI because I have better things to do than write for you!"

I’m only 3/4ths through this book, but I’m wrecked. Lots of people have correctly noted that it feels important, but (a) he’s a damn good storyteller, and (b) it’s hard to read this and not constantly see how the attempt to prop up the violence of western hegemony wrecks all our lives

Hello repro writers from the mid to late 20 teens - I just discovered Cosmopolitan at some point pulled almost every politics/repro story from the 5 years I wrote for them offline (except two, which they put under someone else's name and gave me "additional reporting" which it very much was not)

if vaccines were free and widely available, if people got paid time off to get them, if testing was free and widely available, if masks were free and widely available… this has always been about layered protection, and masks are just one layer left that people can see from the outside

Gloomily, Gloomily (2025) - Soft grey musk, pink thistle, lavender ash, tea leaves, pale iris, grey lilac, and rain-soaked moss. #SOTD #BPAL a well-loved stuffie, but make it perfume.

A small but concrete task for today: Sameer Project told us on 12/25 that it costs $38 for 1 blanket, which can help keep a family that is in their 3rd winter in genocide (😢) warm. Can anyone join us today in donating the cost of one blanket to Sameer? Can you get 1 other person to join you?

Goddamnit!

Works from the "Ice Gardens" series by American artist Mary Kocol, 2010s, capturing flowers frozen in ice.

Druids Cutting Mistletoe on the Sixth Day of the Moon (2023) - Burdock root, mugwort, birch sap, oak bark, watermint, ash leaves, wych elm, hazel nuts, juniper boughs, black poplar, yew, and dew-laden mistletoe berries. #BPAL #SOTD druid treehouse looks like a good time

i had to drop what i was doing to make this

wishing everyone a very happy day ☃️ lots of good things to read and joy and bones 💀🫶

My nomination for the loveliest christmas tree perfume is @pulpfragrance.com Tannenbaum: Citrus aldehydes, fresh ginger, pine bark, cedar leaf, guaiacwood, sandalwood, ebony, forest floor, crackling fires, sweet amber & earthy musk.

Red Velvet Tuxedo (2022) - red velvet fruitcake with buttercream and a splash of cologne. #BPAL #SOTD it's after 6pm on christmas eve, what am I, a farmer? (sorryyyy please don't tomato me 😅)

My favorite podcast stint of the year! What a delightful conversation

Growing up in Gaza, I didn't realize that the siege I was living under was unique or that others didn't face a constant threat of death. It was only after I left that I understood I had grown up in a concentration camp, and that it shaped my life. mondoweiss.net/2025/12/i-di... #Palestine #Israel

Weed & Whiskey (2020) #BPAL #SOTD I don't partake anymore, but I do appreciate the smell!

Abortion later in pregnancy is often misunderstood & heavily targeted through both policy & stigma. ICYMI, Erika Christensen @rhavote.bsky.social, Jenn Chalifoux, & Dr. Diana Greene Foster sat down with us to share their personal stories & why access to later abortion will always be needed.

Midwarkust (2021) - An imp’s worth of Darkness stuffed into a 5ml of Midway plopped into Lust’s mother bottle. #BPAL #SOTD another funny mashup scent from the same series.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

fucking NO.

No one should be shopping at Home Depot.
