Sauron the Red Nose Reindeer
Had a very shiny eye
& if you ever saw it
You'd collapse & scream & cry
All of the other reindeer
Joined together to defeat him
It was the last alliance
Of deer & elves & men
Had a very shiny eye
& if you ever saw it
You'd collapse & scream & cry
All of the other reindeer
Joined together to defeat him
It was the last alliance

Need some holiday cheer? Two of my all-time favorite Christmas specials are freely available on YouTube. First, A Muppets Family Christmas, which is as old as I am and ridiculously charming. Love that it's basically one huge cross-over episode. youtu.be/h1zj3Ri5EyA?si=Gvbqx...
A Muppets Family Christmas 1987 TV Special. (1080p upscale).

I see a lot of "please be respectful of other people's decisions" around AI in indie author spaces and I don't understand it. If you plagiarise that makes you a plagiarist. If you steal someone else's work and lie that it's your own, that makes you a liar and thief. I'm supposed to respect that?
My friends, I say this with all the love in my heart: Right now might not be the moment for “But we should be TOLERANT and NUANCED about the plagiarism machines!”
Your tolerance and “nuance” will be weaponised by the grifters and their apologists. Please respect yourselves more.

Six days to Christmas! I remind y’all: I write queer holiday romances and stories.
Most recently? "Upon the Midnight Queer," holiday tales retold queerly. Includes the new Village story "Folly," a novella-length queer romance based on "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas."

Dave Willat was just 11 years old when he showed up for what he thought would be a routine church choir practice in 1965. He and his fellow singers ended up making history. n.pr/3KZCl3a
We caught up with one of the kids who sang on 'A Charlie Brown Christmas.' He's 72 now

Back from my firm's holiday/30th anniversary party. It was at a Brazilian steakhouse and OMG so much meat!!! Don't even like steak, still stuffed myself on sausage and Parmesan-crusted pork and bacon-wrapped chicken, not to mention the expansive salad bar and tiny cheese rolls.

Any Democrat who thinks it's appropriate to "find common ground" with the Republicans on issues like high school sports teams is negotiating with a political party that does not believe trans people should exist. This policy will kill people, so maybe stop wringing your hands about volleyball.

Just so I’ve been 100% clear on this recently, and not just through reposting people saying things better than I think I’d be able to: the attack on trans rights—especially on trans healthcare—is hate. It’s not science. It’s not "protecting" kids. It’s 100% fucking hate, and it’s wrong.

Since we're a week out, here's your reminder that Christmas Eve is Animal Christmas (according to Danish tradition), so make sure that you have snacks for your pets on Christmas Eve!
The lore was that they would speak ill of you, but I just think it's a nice excuse to spoil them a little extra

If you have Microsoft Office 365 and your billing is coming up, check to make sure your plan is set to renew as the "Classic" version - this is the plan without Copilot and should be cheaper.

December 14th for the last ten years has meant a queer story or retelling inspired by a holiday story or song. Here’s this year’s offering: "A Winter’s Hourglass," inspired by "Let it Snow" and offering two revisits to tales that came before.
I hope it reminds us of a truth: we’ve always been here.
