But I love legos!

I always find the plethora of articles about how to have fun in Dry January without alcohol both interesting and sad. Do we not know how to have fun unless we’re drinking?

2025 goals

As a lover of all things spreadsheets, I’m reposting this so that I can find it again. This might be my January project. 😃

Just from a personal standpoint, I am in a much better place now than I was a year ago. I’m no longer in an awful relationship that was going nowhere, I’ve started taking care of myself again, I surround myself with people who make me feel good, I have peace.

I hadn’t thought of this. But it’s a good point!

Last week I posted about how much it annoys me that people *insist* Frodo and Sam MUST be gay because they're so close Today I want to talk about this more & how it relates to our society's general devaluation of friendship Based on the movies; I haven't read LoTR in 20 years 1/?

Current meal: garlic parm popcorn with sliced apples and peanut butter.

Just finished one of the happier Christmas traditions in my family. Watching A Muppet Family Christmas. It has the muppets, the Sesame Street gang AND the fraggles!

Love it when bookshops or libraries arrange their books appropriately...

Everyone seems to think the Muppets are wonderful but I think it’s notable that Michael Caine, famously one of the nicest men in Hollywood and a good judge of character, never worked with them again after Muppet Christmas Carol

Uhhh. Yep.

My mother in law Cathy Cade was a lesbian feminist photographer who documented social justice movements in the Bay Area. We are going through some prints for her obituary and I just found the most lesbian image I have ever seen.

+ the yarn I buy to make myself winter apparel but then hangs out in drawers until I actually get to it. Or maybe that’s just me.

For the next four years…

There’s so much awful news these days. But here’s something amazing and I love it. And it’s at my local school district. www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...

One of my current things is to get back into food prep and cooking and, hopefully, fueling my body with things that don’t make me feel gross. To that end, today I made a veg barley soup in the crockpot that’s tasty. Some in the fridge for later this week, and some in the freezer for another week.

If you are a BIPOC writer and you had a novelette or novella out in 2024 please drop it here in this thread...lol for reasons.😃. Please share. Casting a wide net. Links appreciated.

I was definitely debating with a friend earlier about whether the “keep the chance you filthy animal” movie clip is in the first or second Home Alone movie. It turns out it’s in both! See we were both right.

I don’t know about the rest of y’all, but I listen to some excellent music.

This tweet is about me.

Reposting so that I can hopefully find this later. I’m always a fan of a Pride and Prejudice retelling.

Y’all. I just can’t get over all the things available on Hoopla. Graphic novels? Yep! Audio books? Yep! Cookbooks? Also, yep! These are just the things I’m interested in. So far. I’m sure more will be noted later. 😃 Yay, @ypsilibrary.org!

Yep!

I love this one. I really do. But my favorite is the muppet family Christmas. You get the muppets, the fraggles and the Sesame Street gang in one delightful special.
