For everyone posting that Christmas is over: Many Christian traditions around the world celebrate for 12 days, beginning on the 25th. This season is called "Christmastide". Then there's Epiphany or Three King's Day after the 12th day.
The capitalist version of the holiday isn't the whole story.

Healing has made me grittier, softer, sillier, less controlling, less stoic, more discerning, and more courageous. It has not made me more “detached” or "productive".

Because I've seen some confusion on this: The above isn't a link to the "60 Minutes" piece CBS pulled, it's a different piece on the same topic produced for "Frontline" on PBS.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Bari Weiss & CBS pulled the plug on 60 Minutes CECOT special just hours before it was scheduled to air.
Men who had been sent there risked their lives to tell their stories, and they’ve been silenced by the regime.
This article by The Guardian shines light on the torture & abuse they suffered:

Alright this guy is calling it for the weekend. Busy few days of unioning and hummingbird photography before loading up the sleigh. In the meantime, may I offer two mandarin ducks? 🪶

Hey Minneapolis pals,
I know someone who needs some help with moving on Monday or Tuesday this week. This family has a kid and they are scared about being profiled while renting a truck.
Does anyone have a pickup truck they can help out with for a little bit of time?They need about three hours.

The shit that really sucks is the animal posting accounts were QUICK to hop onto ai.
Every animal video I get sent, the profile has the most ai avatar I’ve seen in my life lmao

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

As always, a reminder that according to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, Jewish people made up less than 1% of the German population in 1933.
Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.
I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

Susan Tincher was arrested for standing up to ICE.
She was arrested for documenting atrocities.
She’s a US citizen. A grandmother. And she’s white.
They’re never going to stop. Everyone must stand up. Everyone must protect those who are most in danger. Everyone must document atrocities.

Ableism makes you think you will be the exception.
Disability won’t happen to you.
You’re “better than that”.
You’re “stronger”.
You will succeed where the rest of us failed.
It’s not true. Disability can & does happen to almost everyone.
It’s not a moral failing.

I'll write about it more on other mediums, but I just wanted to share a cool video of me learning to use a drip torch during a prescribed burn. #goodfire
