Opened my present from my parents while on a video call with them. Very nearly like the real thing. Hope I can go for a proper visit in the new year!

Your daily fortune: Eat, drink, and be merry. Then read, sleep, and be wary.

If there's a hell below, we are all going to go, but particularly people who go into physical bookshops and find a book they want then look it up on Amazon and buy it cheaper there instead.

Feliz Natal! 🎄

A Smol Paul Christmas ❤️

Merriam Christmas

Have a good one, News Eaglets.

You aren't required to be merry. I hope you are, if it's your holiday! But joy is hard to come by sometimes, so my fondest wish is, for all, peace and rest today. Much love.

Listening to Christmas songs during breakfast, while Max circles me like a little shark, waiting for the teeny bit of milk I leave for him in the bowl. Happy Christmas, all.

A postal worker just knocked on my door and delivered my parents Christmas package to me! It’s because the mailbox was full downstairs, but it still feels nice. Going to open it tomorrow, as one does Christmas morning.

Jersey is helping.

"Have a holly jolly Christmas" You can't tell me how to live my life

Realized my mistake is assuming the office would fax my prescription to the pharmacy in a timely manner. I should have taken a printout. Sitting in Safeway with a box of fried chicken in my lap. I walked by Mary Brown’s and it smelled so damn good, I couldn’t resist.

Just left the doctors office with a prescription for penicillin. Honestly, it’s a bit of a relief. I have strep throat, but I’m spending the holidays alone, so I don’t have to worry about getting anyone else sick.

Local woman wakes up, sends three ghosts to visit all the fucko buckos today and tonight (there’s a lot of them so this is gonna take awhile), makes oatmeal.

How I’m turning up to the BlueSky Christmas party

One generous serving of orange loaf. Still warm

And to Tiny Tim, who did NOT die. He was unable to. He still walks among us, cursed to remember in a world where everyone has forgotten. He’s out there now, just beyond the light your lantern throws,

I love Selina Kyle’s apartment

There's no such thing as owning too many books. There is such a thing as owning too much other furniture that blocks the space for more bookshelves, however.

I, unfortunately, am only feeling an adequate level of based.

Not now, haunted Victorian shoes

If I could say one sentence to cats and make them understand it, it would probably be "If you are going to puke, please do it on a hard surface."

One more day of work. I can do this.

So grateful groceries can be ordered and delivered. I still feel unwell from the weekend, and the more I thought about walking over to the grocery store after work, the less I felt I could handle the task.

the fact that my rent would be cut in half if I acquired a romantic partner to move in with makes me so mad. i don't want that. that's far too much work. what happened to the good old days of lowering your rent with a simple massive global financial crisis

2025 Headline of the Year nominee (December)

This is the winner for me. Think they changed it to ´Louvre123´ for higher security?

So, there was a Doctor Who spin-off *this year* I had no idea existed?

Show me how your 2025 went

This tweet has become canon for me tbh

It's cold out there. If you're in the house, stay in the house. #Caturday

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

Obviously not a museum, but I still think @museumbums.bsky.social could have a bit of fun with a place like this.

Woke up and my throat feels gunky. Which means I caught the cold going around the office *again*. Twice in one month, what a lucky girl I am.

reminder:

Finished my Clueless puzzle I picked up at Goodwill. 3 pieces missing, but not the end of the world.

It's bad, all the way down. The whole thread is people word vomiting. (Not the OP, the screencaps)

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.

a.i. is for people with no guts. Cowards, too scared to write an email much less create a work of art.

Looks positively delightful!

Alberta’s gender-affirming care ban just came into effect today. This ban applies to all trans youth under 18 in Alberta, but is prospective only (doesn’t apply for folks who have started said healthcare before today). Exceptions exist for youth 16+ with parental, dr. and psy. consent. 🧵
