Today I’m making New Year’s Eve gumbo with the random meats we have in our deep freezer, consisting of tasso, turkey necks, duck, and andouille. This is how to end the year and get ready for Mardi Gras.

I have a friend group that gets together for Boxing Day every year to do footie and scran. I’m so happy the tradition continued this year even with only one game. I’m so happy I got to eat roast, Yorkshire pudding, and potatoes with chip shop curry sauce. Happy happy happy.

Paul Williams guts me every year with the lyrics in A Muppet Christmas Carol. “Bless us all, that as we live
We always comfort and forgive,
We have so much, that we can share
With those in need we see around us everywhere.” 😭😭😭 JFC

Merry Christmas! I’m continuing a somewhat new tradition (for me) this year of making guava cream cheese pastelitos to snack for breakfast and dessert. The first couple of times I baked them I tried making them cute but then a friend told me I could roll the puff pastry like a cigar. Simple and yum.

Earlier this month our vet told us she found a new sister for our dog. This little was wandering the streets of South Jackson and was kind of a mess. The amazing people at our vet clinic fixed her up and now she’s home with us. I’m so happy to have her in the family ♥️

Landlords who call ICE to inform them where undocumented people live as a work around to rapidly evict people…you better hope you never run into me in real life.

Very good reporting here by Alex Rozier. We have a shocking shutoff rate.
Shutoffs loomed in third year of receivership. Can Jackson afford its own water system?
Ted Henifin, third-party manager of Jackson's water system, defends high water bills. JXN Water needs a surge in revenue to keep afloat, he said.

Taking my dog on a walk is my favorite daily activity.
this is like some old man posting but i’m feeling a little under the weather today and so my exercise this morning is just a long walk and you know what activity rocks? taking a walk.

So about this Wooking for Love show. It makes me sad that people who have yet to learn about wooks are now going to find out about the stupid stuff that comes with that. I haven’t thought about Trustifarians since I left Boulder almost 20 years ago and now they will be culturally relevant. Ugh.

I’m happy it’s the holiday season but this year especially I feel more excited about getting through December so we can get to crawfish and king cake time.

Seeing stories written unironically about men being “uncancelled” and “reverse cancelled” makes me feel like walking into the Gulf of Mexico. Instead I’m going log off for a while and finish the book I’m reading about the execution of women as witches in 16th century Scotland. ✌🏻✌🏻

I had leftover banana pudding. I am deeply proud of myself.
If you didn’t have Thanksgiving for breakfast, then what are you even doing?

Yesterday on a walk I met a 15 week old corgi named Spud I’m obsessed
I mean, if you didn’t meet a dog today, you kind of failed.

I love cooking Thanksgiving meals but I will never again cook my own turkey because I am surrounded by stores who smoke turkeys and they are better than anything I would do.
Here’s a non-Thanksgiving turkey tip: if you have a reliable local barbecue spot and they make smoked turkey and you’ve never had whatever kind of turkey sandwich they make with it, it will probably change your life

2 years ago I thought I would never be able to run without pain ever again and today a jogged a mile in 12 minutes. It probably doesn’t sound like much but it took a lot to make it happen, and I hope with continued strength work will get better. Fitness goals don’t have to be ambitious to matter.

I don’t know where to buy tasso for my thanksgiving maque choux so I’m making it?! It seems pretty straightforward but this is my first effort at curing. Will report back.

I explained this to people watching the semifinal with me today who don’t watch a lot of soccer and their minds were blown. I love the NWSL.
Marta continuing to get nominated for an award named after her is such a flex I can't even wrap my brain around it.

The podcast The Economist produced about pig butchering is one of the wildest things I have ever listened to, if you use any social media app with a messaging feature you need to know.
A "pig butchering" scam might open with a simple “Hi” or some good-natured confusion about why your phone number seems to be in the person’s address book.

My heart is with the Seattle WOSO community, my brother had the opportunity to coach Mia and told me about how amazing she was. The people who knew and loved her will carry her light forward.
University of Washington goalkeeper Mia Hamant passed away following a valiant battle with kidney cancer. The Seattle Reign and Orlando Pride players honor her legacy by wearing orange ribbons tonight 🧡
Our thoughts are with her family, teammates and the entire Husky community.

It will likely not get that much attention today, but a court-ordered special redistricting election, which made house districts more representative in Mississippi, resulted in the end of a republican supermajority in the state house. District 22, thank you for making your voices heard.
