Used to be 'rockstar casually applying for position of village witch', but my application was accepted, so now I'm just a frumpy-looking gremlin who mutters to themselves and has cat hair on everything they own.
Just finished Brigands and Breadknives last night! It was so good! I always enjoy Travis Baldree's books.

The plan, at least in our house, is to just tune into the Superbowl halftime show. We don't care about football, really, but we do like Bad Bunny. And I genuinely think the best thing we can do is tank the ratings for everything except the half time show.

I should be allowed to bite blood relatives. I don't say this in the same way I joke about other forms of violence, I, as a blood relative, should be allowed to sink my teeth into people with a certain dna relation to me. It won't fix the problems....but it still might be an improvement

Sometimes, we put videos on tv for our cats. Usually the normal cat tv vids of birds and mice, but sometimes other things. They find otter and fox videos to be fascinating.

Going yarn shopping has the side effect of spending hours winding the new yarn into a usable ball of yarn. I have found that audio books and documentaries makes it more tolerable, but it does get rough. I have the swift, courtesy of my friend, Jill, but I don't have a winder, so I do that manually.

I am a very fortunate and spoiled person. My beloved Spouse, who is the baker of bread and fixer of computers, does so many sweet things for me. Having tired of @ihatejamesdobson.bsky.social 's podcast for the moment, they have put on Ghost Stories for Christmas with Christopher Lee. I am well-loved

My poor spouse has been super grateful lately that his long-time bestie is an ancient empires history nerd, because this means that while he can't fully escape my vicious rants against the new Nolan Odyssey film, he does get to avoid most of it.

Rewatching Robert Egger's Nosferatu because it is a Christmas movie. The theater we watched it in really did it dirty. The lighting on the dark shots comes through so much better at home. I don't know why, but the dark shots didn't come through as well in theaters, and I won't forgive them that.

It's cold as crap, but there's enough snow to cover the grass completely and the world smells like snow and wood smoke. I suddenly have a Christmas spirit. I want to drink wassail, sing stupid carols, watch Christmas movies, and eat my weight in Stollen. It's incredible what a little snow can do.

Went with the spouse to the Wtyp live show in Philly. Loved Union Transfer as a venue, loved the audience as a member( no one stepped on me, always a bonus) and had a great time.

A guy just told me “it’s a woman’s job to have babies” and when I informed him “even if that is true, which it is not, it’s not any woman’s job to have babies with YOU” he lost his entire mind. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone turn quite that shade of purple before.

Looking at a coat that I like, big dramatic purple wool, and thinking about if I could do a custom lining or find a shop that would do it, and then stopped for a second. A purple coat...with a green lining. It would be so hard to not look like the Joker. Why do I love these colors together so much?

Recently rediscovered my old ipod, an old nano with the click wheel, that still worked. And the thing jt made clear is, there is nothing AI can "create" the is better than what a computer nerd in the 2ks did with a synthizer and an idulgent friend for a buck 99.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Friends, family, and unknown admirers: if you are unsure what to get me for Christmas, I like food, drinks, a moment of your time, and tattoos. None of these things have to be particularly good or well thought out, just given with love.

We could live in a world with poetry, and flowers, and flowing fabric, and joy, and love, and laughter and you want me to accept capitalism and technofeudalism and billionaires in silence? Without a peep of distaste?!

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
