_At least_ Epiphany. But I've said it before: if I had my way, the tree stays til Candlemas. It's senseless to end things so abruptly with no alleviation from the misery of the remainder of winter. Medieval folks absolutely had the right idea celebrating Christmas until then.

The retention of vivid hues allows a window into the wearing of a garment that has survived more than 250 years. The #1750s caraco brocade bodice demonstrates the beauty of a supplementary weft allowing the flowers to float above the blue. Sold via #AugustaAuctions #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I spent the last two days building pull out shelves for our dark and heretofore mostly useless pantry; stuff would get piled in the back and not used. Here you can see the clamps holding on the decorative millwork. I blame @jeffparker.bsky.social & @lelandp.bsky.social for making me like this.

An exceptionally stupid and contingent set of circumstances made Stephen Miller the most influential ideologue in the US. There is no future for the left or liberalism that does not take as a core mission ensuring he is punished for his crimes & no one as hateful as him is ever close to power again.

To watch a “It’s a Wonderful Life” for the 50th time is to confirm that MAGA is totally bogus.
Even in 1946 nobody was rooting for Mr. Potter.

An (almost) end of year thought --
I know it’s only supposed to be one but, thankfully, a couple of things come to mind: (2018’s) God Of War, Allman Brothers Band live at the Filmore East and (2025) Superman. I’ve leaned on art/pop-culture as much as I could this year. I’m grateful I can count on it as a source of hope and joy.

Another banger from @benjamindewey.bsky.social's Tragedy series - I am nearly finished with my leisurely trawl of this archive.
The print version ought to make a great last minute gift - I have not seen it personally, but the physical edition is a reliable glow-up for a comic in my experience.
