Tressie McMillan Cottom’s latest for the NYT doesn’t appear to be giftable, but here are a couple of key paragraphs.

I want to be thinking of King, and others who saw this aspect, through the years ahead.
Text from a couple of paragraphs by Tressie McMillan Cottom in the NYT: I fear that we forget how King saw that multiracial liberal democracy coming to pass. It was not only a project of moral remediation of this nation’s racism. It was also always a project of this nation’s fundamental crises, including inequality and militarism. That King is not the white liberal fantasy of a man obsessed with content of character. It is the harder truth of King the mobilizer and the organizer, who saw poverty as a twin evil of racism. That King is the one we need to remember today. Because that King would not have been surprised that people scared of poverty would find a racist leader palatable.

Bach o farddoniaeth Mererid Hopwood a chyfieithu (gan fi!) i chi — gwyliau hapus!

A little bit of Mererid Hopwood’s poetry (and my translation) for you all — happy holidays!
Ym Mwlch y Blynyddoedd Wrth i leni lithro i gôl hanes a chysgu ym mreichiau ddoe, wrth i’r flwyddyn newydd ddihuno - arhosa, a chymer hoe cyn camu'n daliedd dros y trothwy rhwng fory a gynnau, am nawr oeda ac arhosa i ddisgwyl anadl gyntaf y wawr; disgwyl am y gwynt yn siarad, disgwyl am y gair yn ei gân, y gair mud na all ein gramadeg mo'i hollti'n sillafau mân; disgwyl am ei sibrwd ysgafn, am yr ystyr sy'n hỳn na iaith, yr arwydd sy'n dweud lle mae'r dechrau a lle mae diwedd y daith; ar drothwy drws y blynyddoedd, rhwng cofleidio a chanu'n iach, ơ'i ddisgwyl, fe gei di ei glywed, pe bai ond am eiliad fach; am mai disgwyl, disgwyl amdano, yw gobeithio a gwybod yn un, ac yma ym mwlch y blynyddoedd, daw'r gair ith enaid dy hun. —Mererid Hopwood In the Space Between Years As this year slides into history to sleep in yesterday's arms as the new year starts to wake up, take a moment! and snooze the alarm. Before stepping over the threshold to tomorrow, before yesterday’s gone you can delay for a minute, and taste the first breath of the dawn; and wait for the wind to start speaking, listen to the words of its song; the words that our own simple grammar will only translate wrong. Wait for its gentle whisper, and pause to comprehend the directions for where to begin, and where the journey will end. On the threshold across the years, over all the joys that we share, you can hear it, just for an instant; if you can find a second to spare. Because waiting and hoping to hear it, then knowing, are all the same goal, and here, in the space between years, the words find their home in your soul. (Translation: Paige Morgan)

Ydy’r gath hon yn dysgu swatio neu ydw i’n dysgu ymlacio a gwneud dim byd? Dim ond amser a ddengys…

Is this cat learning to snuggle, or am i learning to relax and spend time doing nothing? Only time will tell.

Oh, AI (via a friend just this morning, screenshot by me.)
A screenshot showing the Google AI overview for the search string "mentor vs booster", which reads as follows, and conflates "booster" with a type of breast implant. A mentor is a person who provides guidance and support to help someone grow and achieve their goals, while a Mentor Boost implant is a type of breast implant that aims to improve the fullness of the upper breast: Mentor A mentor is a person who can help someone build their career, gain confidence, and develop their skills. Mentors can be a valuable resource for people starting their careers, helping them feel more comfortable in their role. Mentors can also help mentees build workplace relationships and discuss their progress. Mentoring relationships are usually long-term, lasting months or years. Mentor Boost implant A Mentor Boost implant is a type of breast implant that is designed to improve the fullness of the upper breast. The implant is made with a gel that is cohesive and a unique shell to reduce the risk of a silicone leak.

Borrowing this meme from @jenniebatchelor.bsky.social — here’s my @thestorygraph.com pie chart as the year winds down. Is it a good reflection of my personality? Yeah, probably — though if you’re going to be adventurous, always get the travel insurance!

There are starting to be more discussions of the radicalized religious right in the US (see @swordsjew.bsky.social’s Wild Faith, for ex) — but this meme (shared by a relative who I watch from a distance) is a really clear example of the logic in play. 1/2
Facebook meme screen showing the text “To think that God ordained a filthy minded, adulterous, wealthy man with evil in his heart to preside over a nation challenges my self-righteous understanding. But he did, and that sinful man by grace gave us the Psalms. #KingDavid”
