Whimsy is resistance.

Had a great walk with my cousin. We met some of the locals☺️

The lilacs are lilacking! #finallyspring

This was Boxing Day brunch. Grilled banana bread with cream cheese frosting, maple syrup and berries. Second year in a row I’ve done this—am I creating a new tradition?

Gaudium, our Rancor is feeling rather festive: little Luke…not so much.

I keep trying to write something eloquent and just being tired.
History matters. Philosophy matters. Languages and literature matter. Indigenous studies matter. Arts and humanities and social sciences matter. All of them.

In Christmas Light
cast backwards
I see Advent;
Calm shadows
Waiting
In gray
Waiting for candlelight
To make them shine
In blue and pink and white.
Patience…patience…
Patience.

Proof that kids abroad receive better language educations:

Young mum to her toddler (in German): "Look! All the benches and tables have snow hats!"

Me (in English): "Not hats: snow coffins."

Toddler bursts into tears; young mum glares at me.

Ten shows to get to know me:

M*A*S*H
The Muppet Show
WKRP in Cincinnati
The Simpsons
The Office (American)
Blackaddder
What We Do in the Shadows
The Crown
Star Trek: The Next Generation
The Big Bang Theory

Screens and keys are tools for many folx-myself included-I’ve learned they can distract me when I’m in my earliest creative stages. Overstimulation is real to this ADHDer. I don’t seem to retain what I type as I’m typing. My Mum bought me my first notebook of this kind in 2015. I still use them.

Angelo didn’t sleep well last night. He’s quite eager to have his first cup of coffee this morning. He usually drinks 6 or 7 cups before noon. And 3-4 more in the afternoon. He’s starting to wonder if this is why he’s never been able to hibernate.

This is Stella. Stella likes to roll off of where she is placed. It’s kind of her thing. She always giggles when she lands.

Nessie is waiting for her favourite human to come home from work. Thats’s not me. 😞 She has imprinted on John because he brought her home from the store: he is her person. #wedowhimsyhere

I’m not a mtachy matchy girl; however, our Krampus shirts from the VERY talented J.E. Larson came in…and we were going to see Red One! Also: has anyone seen J E Larson or Haunted Nonsense on Blue Sky yet?

Just back from the shops. It's the first year I saw packs of Xmas cards with #AI images. The AI to human card ratio was ≈ 50/50. And I'm pretty sure that the snowy AI kitten had 5 toes on one paw but only two on the other. And an uni-nostril. The AI cards were the same price as none AI. Fuck that.
