Sometimes you just have to make Christmas happen, and let the joy follow later.

My half a week off of work and school was fun but nowhere near enough. I have a new tradition, and it is reading @catherineryanhyde.bsky.social's new book each November over my break. This is a beautifully sensitive story about addiction, mental health and how people can heal each other.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but when donald trump berates and calls women names, including journalists, it is a form of verbal and psychological abuse. It's a baiting move used by narcissists to make the victim feel less than, and it's absolutely wrong. He's gaslighting to test 👇

I am watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It isn't Thanksgiving without it, and it's one of the best things of the whole year.

I’m horrified by the news coming out of our nation’s capital today.
Our guardsmen selflessly dedicate themselves to service. This violence cannot be normalized in our country.
Minnesota is sending our love to the families of the service members who were killed.

My heart is with the National Guard members shot and killed near the White House today and their families who are left to grieve — the day before Thanksgiving.
These shootings are senseless and frequent. They impact everyone. We have to do more.

Well, there is this.
The New York Mets are assuming the remaining $72 million left in Marcus Semien’s deal.
Brandon Nimmo is owed $101.25 million. Both players represented by agent Scott Boras with each player having to approve the deal.

Welp..can't say I was totally surprised to see Nimmo go but I will be sad to see him go nonetheless. I am just not sure on the return. Semien isn't a long-term solution.

Great idea. Let's give up our future for a pitcher who was nothing but injured his last few years here to replace at least one pitcher who was nothing but injured. www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/new-y...
Mets predicted to make blockbuster trade for reunion with $185 million two-time Cy Young to mentor Jonah Tong, Nolan McLean | Sporting News
This would be a most welcome reunion.

The northern lights were seen in our county, in the western half. So strange that we couldn't see it in the middle or eastern half. If they show up tomorrow or the next few nights I'm going cruising. Only astrogeeks go aurora chasing. 😉

I first heard rumours about this in September.
We're currently without one of our most powerful tools for communicating with spacecraft in deep space, and it's not clear when we'll get it back.

Key antenna in NASA’s Deep Space Network damaged
One of the largest antennas in NASA’s Deep Space Network was damaged in September and may be out of service for an extended period, further straining the system.
