I was momentarily fooled by one video of an animal on a trampoline and now I assume that everything on FB is fake.

Despite our record of excellence managing browns for the last 54 years, our reliability working in the trenches, and decades of experience building systems from the ground up, no, we are not in the running for Cleveland's next head coach.
Thank you.

All of this. And I find I particularly recognise the 'vanquish insecurity'.
Ursula K. LeGuin pinpointed the 'unmeasured desire' for unassailable safety as one of the chief drivers of evil in the world.
And Christ, yes, I'm seeing it so much. In my personal life and in politics too.

A bit of serendipity this morning - didn’t feel safe going out in the car so went to the canal instead and saw this. My comedy moment for the year 🦢🤪

Leaning into more everyday whimsy in 2026. Other than being 2 sizes too large 😅, this jellyfish mitten is a great start! (Anybody have tips on mitten felting?)

In the car today with my son, age 20!, & he punched me on the shoulder & shouted ‘yellow car no return’, a game we hadn’t played in years
Got thinking about all the other stuff we used to notice & exclaim when they kids were younger
Reminded me of this. Don't stop noticing x

My biggest cultural wake up call of 2025 was discovering that the reason I can't find decent zip up hoodies in the stores anymore is that the kids aren't wearing them because they have become old people fashion. They prefer pullovers.
This resulted in a very dark existential moment in my closet.

And with that, it's the end of #2025!
Don't really have much to say other than #HappyNewYear.
I suppose I had a really good year: I did probably more art than I ever have before, spoke at a few events, did a podcast, won an award, and stated a PhD!
