✨🌈 The more you know 🌈✨

Seems like a good time to read (or reread) Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire, as well as Pacifism As Pathology by Ward Churchill. Get them from your library! If your library doesn’t own them, they may be able to get them for you through ILL. It’s worth asking about!

Ok, so Chuck Tingle came out with another horror novel which I am listening to now, and not only is it GOOD, it’s narrated by several sci-fi/fantasy/horror writers (in addition to profesh audiobooks narrators)

Hi! What reoccurring life lesson do you hope doesn’t follow you into 2025? Mine is “the people you have 1-sided issues with will always be hanging out in the spaces/communities that are most aspirational to you.” Fucking hope I’ve learned that one.

Me: I’d like to learn more about German folklore, maybe do a witchcraft about it. German folklore: If your house isn’t tidy by January 6, Frau Perchta will come disembowel you with her knife.

Decided my New Year’s resolution is to be more disrespectful to my enemies. Holding it in only hurts me, much healthier to let it out.

In high school a good friend became the butt of many jokes in our friend group by giving me a library book for Christmas. I didn’t mind at all; she’d taken the time to track down an uncommon book I wanted to read, when Amazon wasn’t really a thing yet.

In a better world the insurance CEOs would never have been targets for everyone’s hatred, because they wouldn’t exist. They simply wouldn’t have been allowed to cause so much real, widespread harm in the name of profit. But we don’t live in that world. May the next Luigi get away with it.

Someone stopped me in the middle of the library to complain about the presence of unhoused people. He started by saying how much he supports the library, always has. To be clear, he wasn’t complaining that anything bad had happened, no one had done anything, he hadn’t been threatened or harmed.

Thanksgiving dinner is over! It is now legal to watch Elf again! #elfculture #Santa!Iknowhim!

Turkey day at my sister’s tomorrow with 13 people and 5 dogs. Hubs is getting ready to put a brisket in the smoker & I’m making sweet potato casserole. You gotta bake the sweet potatoes, don’t boil them! Boiling leeches out the natural sweetness.
