it’s really depressing how little the entitled ghouls who rule over us actually know about American history
Rep. Kat Cammarck: "Today, one in six people in the US is foreign born. That quite frankly is not sustainable to maintain a culture that we are known for here in the United States."

Forgot until 15 minutes ago that I bought myself a tea advent calendar last month. Thought it’d be too late for a cuppa, but Day 1 is a chamomile blend. Perfect.

Local small independent bookstore in Milwaukee said exactly this in a recent social post, circling back on the point they might not make it to 2026 if they don't have a big holiday weekend, and it got shared by basically every record store and small business concern over the last week.
Remember - if you're financially in a position to do so, skip the #BlackFriday deals online from big companies and shop instead from small and local businesses.
The big guns don't need your money, but for small traders it can be what keeps them going into 2026, so support your community instead.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Me every single Thanksgiving for the last couple decades, shortly after I wake up and look online:
“Oh my god. The parade can’t be starting *this* early, can it? Why would you have a parade this early in the day??
“Ah. No. It’s *ending* this early.”

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.
Should John Carpenter's THE THING be officially classified as a Christmas movie? Let your voice be heard!

When going after the "worst of the worst” somehow turns into rounding up people hiding in plain sight, because 3/4 of ICE detainees don’t even have a criminal conviction. Not precisely the villains they keep promising… more like the easiest folks to grab when you’re padding numbers
NEW data I've received: Just 5% of people detained by ICE since October 1 have had violent criminal convictions, 3/4 had no criminal convictions at all. Most "criminals" had immigration, traffic, and vice offenses. Not the "worst of the worst"...

Yes, but the tenderness part is only on certain days. No, the days are not announced in advance.
What are you made of?
1. tea & tenderness
2. books & baked goods
3. cheese & confusion
4. moss & chaos
