Now is probably a good time to remind y'all that pretending to be queer to infiltrate progressive spaces is a long standing tactic of government disruption.

Sometimes, close to home, even.

The FBI Used an Undercover Cop With Pink Hair to Spy on Activists and Manufacture Crimes
In the summer of 2020, federal law enforcement launched a broad, and until now, secret strategy to infiltrate racial justice groups and entrap activists.

If you're in Colorado and registered as a Dem, attending the caucus to make sure Bennett doesn't win the primary over Weiser, so that we don't wind up with another power centralizing milk toast white governor, is a real good idea.
I did also inform Sen Bennet that this is why I've donated to his opponent Phil Weiser's gubernatorial campaign and that Hick gave me yet another reason to up my donation to @senadorajulie.bsky.social

I stepped outside yesterday evening, and caught this fortunate sight of the full Wolf Moon.

I have an irritating problem. I have a favorite large ceramic travel mug (that I use every day).
It fits in a car cupholder, holds 18oz of liquid, and fits my tea filter insert.
I dropped my old one.
The same style/brand replacements I bought have broken/failed *three times* in less than a year.

Shuffle your longest playlist. The first song to come up is your energy for this new year. Let's go.

I'm going to start 2026 out looking back at my fave art pieces I got done in 2025. I always feel like I didn't get much done, and that is always untrue.

First, a carved wood artist book reflecting on an impending loss of eyesight and how eyes work.

I did too many things today, the musical.

One of the silly wonderful things I've run into here in the last month or so is finding aging (mostly women) performers on places like tiktok, releasing new music and doing shit with their kids.
Jo Dee Messina and her teenage(?) son? Adorable.

This year, if you make any resolution... resolve to be kinder to yourself.
To set aside impossible promises.
To love something small.

This world can be so sharp, and so hard.
And so beautiful. And so strange.
And the heart without room to grieve may struggle to find room to revel in joy.

Wherever you find yourself, dear hearts, I hope that you are giving yourself room to exchange necessary gases with the sky.

Since I send huge amounts of mail, and frequently put wax seals on them...
The "automated processing" rule has clearly been in place (or tested) for a few months.
I live right by a central processing post office. But fully half the letters I get from my love in Philly haven't been postmarked at all

For the love of god(s), do not *ever* respond to unsolicited political polls you get via call or text.
Just do not.

I decided that I wanted to finish replaying Octopath I and II, so I could start a final fantasy replay.

... and the real Enemy of Octopath Traveler is, ultimately, the shadow that tries to snuff out the capacity for hope and joy in human hearts.
Relevant.

Tell me about the ways you observe the passage of time (calendar year or lunar) that bring you joy.
Even amidst sorrow, we must remember that the capacity for joy and for play is intrinsic to life (for most creatures).

As someone for whom "rain froze into snow" is a common weather...
If you park outside, like I do. If you can cover your windshields with a tarp or heavy cloth, the freezing rain won't stick to the car.
Which is much better than scraping out your whole car.
There’s a freezing rain warning in effect for Ottawa-Gatineau & if you’ve never experienced this before let me personally implore you to stay off the roads (if you *have* experienced this before I trust you are already staying off the roads & likewise insisting others do the same)

Somehow I forgot to mention South of Midnight, even though it's the only game I played on Steam (that's how I forgot).
This game is *incredible* and I'm so very grateful to be able to play a game with so much specifically southern Black culture lovingly crafted into it.

I'm doing Newyule(ish) with the kids this evening, since they won't be with me for new years.
So this is your reminder to make your own citrus pig.

As one of the few security professionals who was actually authoring security and ethical guidance and guard rails on so-called AI even before states, owasp, or the EU did so formally...
I just want to shake a lot of people who can't even be bothered to ask themselves if they're being grifted.

Denver area finally got about 2 inches of snow early this morning... breaking our longest and hottest December streak on record, ever.
