New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..."
Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

There are, as far as I can see, four conclusions that the listener can draw from "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"
1. This kid is a liar he didn't see anything and he's making it up
2. Santa Claus is a dirty cheat and so is that kid's mom (depending on relationships status with the child's father)

Measles outbreaks all around. If only we had a safe, well-tested, doctor-recommended way to prevent this.

Oh god were the cannibals okay
Michael C. Rockefeller got shipwrecked in 1963, washed up on an island, and was promptly eaten by cannibals.

Every establishment I go into has their Christmas music on at level 10000 and I am so done. I can't talk to people or on the phone or even hear my thoughts.
I love a Christmas song. Love a carol. Enjoy a little holiday ditty. I do not enjoy having Christmas music used as a weapon against my senses.

I just told my dog that I was drowning my feelings in chocolate and peanut butter and I needed her to respect my process and she walked away. So either she is respecting my process or she is deeply disappointed in me.

The unadulterated joy with which my child began yelling "Outside! Outside!" when his father told him we were going on a walk and the abject despair when he learned he has to get dressed first could be a whole soap opera.

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social I got my husband (who has a marine bio degree) the eel facts calendar. He has this far pointed out that "electric eels aren't actually eels, they're knifefish".
He's having a great time. 😂

Me when I'm trying to write for a prompt for the first time in years: nice! I love guidelines!
Me, an hour later: this is going really well!
Me, two hours later: okay I might have too many ideas for this
Me, three hours later: No amount of guidelines can help me, everything is garbage
Stay tuned.

So I used a recipe that called for 1/2 cup of acorn flour and 2-2 5 cups white/all purpose flour in case the taste was really strong. Bread is slightly sweet, a hint of nuttiness in the aftertaste, and has been described as tasting like the brown bread from Outback Steakhouse

My acorn flour experiment continues!
We have the dry acorn mash in jar 1 and jar 2 is post-grinding
Now to find a recipe that uses one cup of acorn flour.

folks sticking their heads through the door and shouting "y'all still hate AI?" and getting sad when everyone screams "YES YOU FUCKER" is such a fun holiday game for the whole family.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

"We need to be nicer to men"
Wait do you mean the #1 killer of women? That 'men'? Seems misguided at best.

“We need to be nicer to men” no state made spousal rape a crime until 50 years ago and too many loopholes exist today
“we need to be nicer to men” bro they didn’t let women have their own credit cards til 50 years ago

I am a full time parent, a full time employee, and a full time spouse/co-owner of house and assorted nonhuman critters and I want to go back to writing more.
But I swear any time I'm not doing one of my jobs I'm trying to rest and recover so I can keep doing them. Anyone else in this boat?

Listen I'm not as deep into Star Wars lore as some people I know but I am 100% sure I would be a better librarian than Jocasta Nu and that old woman and I would have some shouting matches about what the role of librarian and archivist are for a culture.
