From Dec 27th to the 30th we all kind of drift around under the impression that a holiday of some sort is still underway, like that feeling someone's in the house with you when you know you're alone, like a holiday's ghost.

Hey! We’re coming up on a holiday week. Here’s your reminder to CHECK YOUR MEDS. Do you need to call in a refill? DO IT NOW WHILE YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT IT.

Every once in a while I am reminded that not everyone here understands that "detach quote" is a thing here

Also if I detach a quote from something you've posted, that's just my way of saying that you have a right to say whatever you like but I choose not to be a part of it, thanks anyway

And if the library doesn't have the book you want, request it! They may add the book to their collection. 🩵
Do not steal books, I beg. Borrow from a library. Libraries lend e-books!

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

I took a detour to the edge of the city to take a picture of these amazing sundogs over Winnipeg caused by ice crystals blowing around in the sky.

A Pembrokeshire Christmas, available now. This little icon is painted on 23 carat gold leaf that has been laid on vintage Italian folding wood panels. Possibly the perfect gift you could buy yourself or someone special. Dm for details if you’re curious

This was the largest man made explosion until the atomic bomb.
On this day in 1917, at least 1,782 people were killed, an estimated 9,000 others were injured, and large portion of the city of Halifax was destroyed due to a maritime accident involving a boat carrying US weapons to France for use in the inter-imperialist First World War.

I’m doing a second auction for Patch, a local charity that provides food, cloths and toys for people in poverty. At Christmas time they gift toys to kids who’ve had a referral. What could be more in the spirit of Christmas? This little wren is up for auction to raise money for toys. Please dig deep

I could change USPS to Canada Post and the United states to Canada and federal agency to Crown corporation and the sentence is still 100% true
USPS subsidizes a *lot* of shipping in the united states and characterizing it in terms of profit and loss is fundamentally a bad faith exercise given how many of it’s benefits are truly universal in a way that not all federal agencies are

Y'all this past week I've seen some baffling takes on Heated Rivalry by people who have zero knowledge or enjoyment of romance novels, romance narratives, or sex scenes as a storytelling device. "Uh where's the romance? Why are they boning so much???"

Related: I feel like a lot of the piracy vs buying discourse (🤢 that this is even a thing) gets framed as stealing money from individual authors vs. stealing from faceless corporate publishers when for most authors it’s about whether or not they’ll get to publish another book.
