It’s January 4th. I’ve decided on my 2026 goal:
I am going to steadfastly invite anything pitched to me as a “challenge” to go fuck itself.

My husband just sincerely and unprovoked said I made my orthotics look sexy and that is yet another reason I’m convinced I won the lottery.

Tonight I made penuche for real. It is possibly the best thing I’ve ever made in my life and I am elated and sobbing because it was my dad’s favorite and he died before I learned how.
So… the holidays are weird.
Yeah.

True. It’s “just” a bowl. But I have spent so much of my daughter’s life hoping for her to find an outlet that gives her happiness and a sense of pride. She found ceramics.
She made this. It gives me joy because it is beautiful and because she made it.

Ever watch someone on a treadmill just slightly too fast for them but they arrogantly refuse to admit it?
That’s the vibes I get from Karoline Leavitt.

We have finally normalized (and even glorify) whipping cream being shot from the can directly into one’s mouth whilst leaning on the open frige door. Now I really would like to see more representation of squeezing cookie dough out of the tube in the same way.

A Review:
Probably written with Ryan Reynolds in mind, “Red One” scored way out of its league with Chris Evans. Fun, charming, and full of places I could have made it even better if they’d asked me but they didn’t. I hope Dwayne Johnson is nice in real life. Lucy Liu is so good and her bangs are 😍

There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things

Do I have any Holiday Traditions? I sure as fuck do!
For more than twenty years, every time I hear, “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…” I audibly intone, “Poor Chet.”

After nearly an hour of looking, we found the sump pump exactly where I thought it would be: with the deflated balls, air mattress, and the things to reinflate them.
My husband is confused by this. I am not.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Autism is not just about being "quirky," and those who claim otherwise should not be taken seriously as autism advocates, org representatives, by the media—or by anyone who wants to truly support autistic people. From @epballou.bsky.social via TPGA archives:
