I forget, from having lived in Tallahassee, that YIMBY has an honorable meaning many places. In Tallahassee, developers and corrupt city commissioners have used the idea to just greenlight everything without a plan, subsidized by taxpayers, to get the worst of sprawl *and* a facade of urban infill.

Furnando owns the Raccoonobahn on cold nights.
Grey foxes don't hibernate. They're active all year & like other foxes adapt to cold by growing thicker, multi-layered fur & using their long, bushy tail for warmth. On very cold days, they may seek shelter, but don't enter a state of dormancy.

This morning I had no peanuts for the squirrels and cut up some bark butter suet into slices instead. The squirrels looked at it like "wtf man" and then at me like "why would you do this to us?" So I walked to Fred Meyer in the rain and got them their @$!$#@!! peanuts.

Yes, this holiday book list is unusual, so today's selection is BLUE, a brilliant analysis and examination of the imposition of UN peacekeeper spaces on cultures and countries. Longer description in the alt text. Fascinating on the face of it but also of vital interest to fiction writers. 8/?

Today's holiday book rec is a older, but I picked it up in San Fran this year in a 2019 ed: CRUSH by Richard Siken, a beautiful, at times richly melancholy / ferocious poetry collection that was a finalist for the National Book Critics Award and the Thom Gunn Award for Gay Poetry. Just so good. 9/?

Cannot say this enough: Most of the people in charge in the US right now are bottom of the barrel dipshits with very low competency, utterly deluded worldviews, no sense of community, and no moral or ethical compass.
