All jokes aside, remember what Christmas is really about, people.

Rich people being terrorized by spectres until they agree to pay their employees a living wage.

when you stare into the abyss and the abyss stares back at you because the abyss has to poop

Earlier this year I built a spreadsheet of sci-fi book recommendations from my followers on Twitter.

For 2023, I've committed to reading one book each month from this list.

I want to share this list with my new friends on #Mastodon and invite you to submit your own favorites to the list!

Here's the spreadsheet where you can review the recommendations and submit your own --> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16jo7x3cmkQdhpwi8cy5SJcHrLYZJXVZhgabKWtznf-c/edit?usp=sharing

I hope you'll boost to help spread the word!

We asked my 8yo if she knew what "ambidextrous" meant, and as she tried to figure it out, we heard her mutter under her breath, "It's not when two girls like each other...that's lesbians."

Guys - I fuckin hate being made to feel things - but go and watch the J&B whiskey ad about transgender acceptance - dammit I cried https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRq2mhr2/

I just want to thank #AubreyPlaza and #DanMurphy for #TheChristmasWitch - finally, justification to bake Christmas cookies in wildly impractical Halloween costumes with dramatic sleeves.

Zoë Heller on Shirley Hazzard:
“The portrait of the permissive era that emerges from these stories is a rather somber one. Eros is less the bringer of carnal fun than a dark and rather dangerous force on which men and women (but mostly women) pin their romantic hopes at their peril. Hazzard’s female characters are not constrained by conventional sexual morality, inasmuch as they engage in premarital and extramarital sex without compunction or shame, but they evince none of the antic libertinism or experience-gathering curiosity of, say, Mary McCarthy’s women. Sex remains for them a solemn rite, a significant act of surrender, and their inability to divorce the act from higher feeling leaves them horribly vulnerable to the emotional sadism and moral carelessness of men.”
