*In the corner, there's a bundle of hazelnut and woodbrown fur that looks frizzy and unkept, a curled cocoon in which a skuggy snoozes, eventually a shaky thumbs up surfaces from the fluff, before hanging a jingle bell on the fur* S-still recovering from last night, but Merry Christmas, everyone...

ALRIGHT AHAHA I got out of my lyft and into my house at 5am Christmas Day after spending 24 hours with my recently widowed by fire neighbor on Christmas Eve so she wouldn't be alone.... Now comes the part where the adrenaline of being 'On' fades, I start shaking like a maraca and try not to cry.

Leaving the hospital at 4:15 a.m. on Christmas Day... She still couldn't sleep, but I really couldn't stay any longer. I've been in this hospital very nearly 24 hours, and I've been awake the whole time... Still, she was so glad to have me there that that it really makes it worth it.

3am babeeeeeeeee

My chances of falling asleep draped over a random bit of this hospital like a hunter's pelt are rising...

2am on Christmas day weee.... I'm tempted to slip away, but I went to the bathroom earlier and when she opened her eyes and I wasn't there she called for me with such terror that I might be gone, that the thought of leaving before she's all the way asleep rips my heart out...

1am at the hospital weeeee... I said I'd stay till my poor neighbor fell asleep...but she's been having panic attacks and nightmares so is thus...not sleepy... Goodness, poor woman deserves some rest...

Oh my God...

I was right, it's midnight, merry Christmas...

Quote posting this to get more eyes on it. Seriously, give this animation a watch. It's short, but it's beautiful stuff. For those who don't know, Lord of the Rings is easily my favorite movie trilogy ever. Definitely one of my favorite fantasy stories. I love it. 💚 youtu.be/bJyB2ucm86Q?...

A lot of people sent well wishes to give my neighbor. I gave her a plushie to help her feel better, a big red comfort. She liked it and asked me to take a picture and thank everyone for their well wishes. She's...doing as well as she can be, I may be here till midnight...

Update, she's still very sweet but VERY traumatized...nightmares and panic attacks all over...I have made tea

Instead of giving a wishlist, I thought it'd be a better to ask for donations instead. I moved recently which did a huge toll on my funds and I'm still looking for a job, so anything helps. Thank ya bunches!❤️ Reposts appreciated! cash.app/$DreMHunter www.paypal.me/MellowCream ko-fi.com/mellowcream

OKAY with a friend's asistance I am taking a lyft to see my poor neighbor on christmas eve... She's in her late sixties and her husband and dog died in an awful housefire in October; her daughter hurt her back and can't be there. She's terrified to be alone on Christmas Eve... Wish me luck...

OKAY so...I could try to jump start the car and get to the hospital...but then it might not work AT the hospital and I'd be stranded...grah...I may have to lyft...that's like $60 bucks... Still though, her husband died in a terrible fire and she's gonna be alone on Christmas eve if I don't go...

Huh...well at least it happened at home and I don't have to go anyw- *The surviving neighbor of the horrible housefire up the road in which her husband died calls me saying she'll be all alone on christmas eve and would love if I could change my plans and come* O-OKAY WHAT IS TODAY? Ineetothink

This day sure is going well, got a nice game in the mail, it's sunny for once, it's Christmas Eve, that sad dream from yesterday seems to have faded a bit. You know what I'm gonna get in my car and take my dog to the dog p- *Nothing but clicking noises* ... Pleasejustneedajumpstart....

this year was a Lot but it was also a good year for conservation, medicine, and clean energy! in an effort to boost positive news, i want to shoutout @sambentley.bsky.social and his monthly compilations relaying good things that are happening despite all the chaos: ◦ www.youtube.com/watch?v=g240...

I have a plushie that is a big red dog... D-do official Clifford The Big Red Dog plushies from the era when I was a kid exsi- ... I DID NOT NEED TO EBAY THIS...

The fact that a model this cool and specific is FREE is LEGITIMATELY INSANE Hats off on the design, the swirls, the coils the WHOLE lot. I cannot physically WAIT to see what people do with this tech, I applaud this sort of thing so much, go check them out!

*Put on space Dandy as work-noise while I try to get some stuff done before Christmas Eve events hit like a truck* *Put the show on 'Shuffle* *IT SHOWS ME THE LAIKA EPISODE* N-no fair man...it's like the universe is trying to make me sad...

WE HAVE OUR FIRST P.O BOX PACKAGE Ahaha! I'll admit I've been swinging by the box every time I get groceries to see if anything's in there, and it was such a joy to find something! Thanks so much to Apollo for one of my favorite games of all time and SUCH a lovely letter just before Christmas! <3

I always come back to this video by Zefrank, 'Kindness Damnit', particularly at times of change. It can be so easy to get wrapped up in our own heads, to get caught in yearning and not appreciate the things in front of us, to not turn and say "You're so kind'. Ze's is the energy I want for 2026.

When talking about Rupert, I often mention Cledwhyn the dragon, who is a favorite from that series. But there are a surprising number of cute designs in this show. No one ever brings up its version of Nessie, who is delightfully sweet.

Watching the 15th Doctor Christmas special 'Joy to the World'. I was hopeful to get to share it with friends this year, as it's PROBABLY his best outing, and genuinely a pretty fun holiday watch. Alas, time hasn't allowed, but man I wish we got more of him under other writers.

Burrowbrew, the Caudle-ish cozy watch-world @rainwolf-plushie.bsky.social constructed with some vague vibe help from me, HAS REACHED OVER 1000 VISITS That's insane considering it went live a week and a half ago. So glad everyone's enjoying the world, there's LOTS of fun things on the playlist!

Halfway through the dark and cold, we gather round the hearth Hand in hoof in claw and talon across all of planet earth We've made it through the cold and dark, and now it's time to cheer. All we've loved and learned and lost, and that we are still here.

THIS There are so many small joys in the world, there are so many more emotions to chew on than sadness and anger, but that's all the algorithm will ever feed you because they're more addictive than nicotine crack. Find joy, celebrate joy, prop up joy. Be kind.

*Pushes down the urge to make video essays on various topics like a small, peanut butter scented volcano attempting to reel in its lava* I...do not...have time...to go professor piggy...

Q: What's a piggy's favorite thing to play? A: While some might like more social outings, piggies prefer Puzzling Places. They just introduced a new mode that can use the hand tracking on the Quest 3 and above line, which is genuinely one of the most zen times you can have in Virtual Reality.

Has anyone ever actually met any other sapient human with a fully developed brain who likes Logan Paul? I'm not sure they exist...who keeps giving that man money?

AHHHH OKAY SO MAJOR THANKS TO @insomniraccoon.bsky.social (Dave) FOR THIS AMAZING VINTAGE ELEROO PLUSH FROM THE THRONE LIST THIS THING IS FROM 1984, AND IT IS IN *SHOCKINGLY* GOOD CONDITION. This box is so vibrant....also THE POUCH WORKS and it comes with a book I'll never open...

I want off this timeline... Stay out of my favorite puzzle series you eldritch machine..

www.youtube.com/shorts/TPxaE... Whilst getting a treadmill that could do this is QUITE an ask, the fact that something like this exists is so cool...

First kiss under the mistletoe Happy holidays, folks! ❤️Thanks for your support!❤️

Waking up to a dream about my mom standing in the family home with a gift for me, rushing to hug her and crying so much about how I miss her that I never actually open the gift was a rather soggy way to start the day, I'm NGL...

Has this morning's dream actually got me feeling soggy enough to unironically watch this?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LAYTON PRODUCERS WHHHYYYYYY HOW ON EARTH ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE *PUZZLE* GAMES WITH AI, VARIATION, AND UNEXPECTED ANSWERS ARE THE POINT. I'm so mad. I'm gonna snort. Tusks are out.

This game is on sale for $9 by the way, and it's multi player...

Feeling forage-y... It's a shame there's not a ton of stuff out in the woods in winter (There are fun winter shrooms you can find, but nothing like spring/fall), but I'm excited to get out into the woods in 2026, memories of forays past...

😭🫶🍵🙌

Big thanks to @neoxiii.bsky.social for the surprise canvas set! 🥺💕 I’m gonna paint paint paaaaint I’m so happy to have all these fresh canvases to play with omggg MERRY CRYSLER!

*Glances at the Doomsday Trailer out of porcine curiosity* *BlinkBlinks* ...Well what was the point of getting rid of him then? AHAHAH Disney backtracking on the last thing they did in the next movie is what helped sink Star Wars...

Two tiny wings, Eyes big and yellow, Horn of a steer, But a lovable fellow ✨️ #disney #dragon #figment

Winter is...not my season... Ahah! Feeling jolly, as it's hard not to around Christmas, but also feeling rather old... Still, there are nice things about age, a certain wisdom, a certain lack of care about what other people think. The browning of pages as the world turns...
