How about we worry less, as a society, about whether individuals might be cheating to get a disability accommodation or some help buying food, and more about whether extremely wealthy people and corporations are paying their fair share of taxes?

Northern Shovelers have arrived in Central Park. Their huge spoon-shaped bill always makes me laugh--but it's very effective for filtering tiny crustaceans out of the water. Just look at the size of that thing! 😍😍😍 #Shoveler #CentralPark #birding

I know far more people who are unable to get even basic accommodations for their diagnosed disabilities than I know people cheating an imaginary system that's giving away support and services. In fact, I'd go so far as to say most disabled people are grossly underserved by our current system.

Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

“killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies”
Kristi Noem: I just met with the President. I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies. Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom—not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS. WE DON'T WANT THEM. NOT ONE. 3:52 PM • 12/1/25 • 1.2M Views

Adding alt text to this because this is fucking amazing and everyone deserves to read it.
Saved by Stoppard Sir, In 1993 my wife and I went to see the first production of Arcadia by Tom Stoppard (obituary, Dec 1), and in the interval I experienced a Damascene conversion. As a clinical scientist I was trying to understand the enigma of the behaviour of breast cancer, the assumption being that it grew in a linear trajectory spitting off metastases on its way. In the first act of Arcadia, Thomasina asks her tutor, Septimus: "If there is an equation for a curve like a bell, there must be an equation for one like a bluebell, and if a bluebell, why not a rose?" With that Stoppard explains chaos theory, which better explains the behaviour of breast cancer. At the point of diagnosis, the cancer must have already scattered cancer cells into the circulation that nest latent in distant organs. The consequence of that hypothesis was the birth of "adjuvant systemic chemotherapy", and rapidly we saw a striking fall of the curve that illustrated patients' survival. Stoppard never learnt how many lives he saved by writing Arcadia. Michael Baum Professor emeritus of surgery; visiting professor of medical humanities, UCL

Posting some Ghosts of Krampus Past, leading up to Krampusnacht on Friday. I've made a lot of Krampuses, if you were unaware. These are from 2012-2015.
A screen printed Krampus design from 2009. An extremely goaty, brown, furry Krampus with curling horns hunching down to grab a little victorian dandy boy who is in the process of destroying a pocket watch with a hammer. Krampus has a large red bag slung over his back that clearly contains other children he's picked up on his rounds. A decorative frame reads: 'Achtung! Sei gut! Krampus kommt!' (Look out! Be good! Krampus is coming!) Krampus from 2013. Our blue-tinted hero drives a big wooden wagon, as he cracks a whip over the heads of two children in a wooden yoke who are pulling it. In the rear of the wagon is a large cage full of other children who are also reassessing their behavior the past year. This was drawn for a holiday card for my employer at the time but at the last minute *someone* decided it was innappropriate for official holiday greetings and was never sent. A hard-edge vector rendering of a furry blue Krampus, crouching on his goat legs and waggling his long tongue at the viewer. He holds a bundle of switches in one hand and a three pronged fork in the other and chains dangle from bands on each wrist. Yellow type above and below reads 'Gruss vom Krampus'. From 2014. Black and white line drawing of a never-colored Krampus from 2015. Pretty much my basic guy: horns, tongue, goat legs, furry tail, some ripped abs in this instance, holding a bundle of switches. He's got a basket on his back which holds a weeping little girl, and he's holding up a screaming little boy by the collar of his pajama top.

A few Charming Cigar Box Oracles available at Libra and Thorn Night Market Dec. 5! Each set is unique. All the beaded circles are handmade by me and each is different. Each casting cloth matches the beaded circle. Each set of charms is unique, too! The cigar boxes? Also unique! #witchsky #tarotsky

We bought a Lego video game for the kids for Christmas. We heard this intermittent shrieking and came flying in from the kitchen, and one of the levels was little Lego weeping angels, and every time the lights came on in the room, they would have moved, and the girls would scream.
