Fourteen-and-a-half years ago, around now, I finished my last drink. It is a miracle that I haven’t had a drink since, and it is so clear the life I lead now is only possible because of that. Like now: Holidays with family now are so different. I love and cherish the time — and am grateful for it.

When social media sites tell you moderation has limits I want you to know there was a time when you could only find the worst people on obscure forums created for being offensive because everywhere else moderated them into those corners.

Once upon a time, not the entire internet was 4chan. Only 4chan was 4chan, because everywhere else would kick you out for Doing 4chan in their spaces. It sounds utopian, but it is true.

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️

#366DayMusicChallenge #333 A Favourite Song By Artist That Begins With Letter "D": Dirty Vegas, “Days Go By" youtu.be/gLCduDJVksc?... I was OBSESSED with this when it came out. Had it on repeat for WEEKS. It's IRRESISTIBLE. The video ain't bad either. There's a longer cut, but I prefer this one.

Chin up, Gregg Wallarse, you can now go back to being a greengrocer where you can say “I’d love to see my pear juice dribbling down your chin” and “would you like to see my plums?” to middle aged women of a certain age without any recriminations.

My son just said he’s, “confuzzled.” I asked, “what’s that?” He says, “it’s the skibbidiest way of saying ‘sigma ohio.’” …I feel like he just swore at me. Do I send him to bed? What do I do?
