Thought I was going to do errands at lunch, but took the time before going to the office to take care of that shit, which means I didn't bring lunch or Christmas cards to work on. So many people getting late cards this year, alas.

We did it! We got enough signatures to force a vote on extending ACA subsidies. Imagine how furious Mike Johnson is going to be when we pass this!
Now is the time to pressure your Members of Congress and help us get it done!

“The President's dangerous expansion and abuse of presidential authority risks dragging us into another endless war, one that the American people do not want. That is precisely why our Founders entrusted Congress with the constitutional authority to decide matters of war.... Richie Neal

The only two things forbidden during Hanukkah are fasting and mourning, so eat up and be happy, motherfuckers.

There was one thing that none of my mentors told me about life in a large bookshop....
The pages of 45000+ books slurp a lot of water out of the air 📚
The humidity in here is currently 25%. When the temperature drops, it can get down to 20%.
Nobody warned me I'd need gallons of moisturizer 🙄

Even when it feels dark, the Light is still at work.
I’ve been reflecting on the winter solstice, the slow return of light, and how faith and art meet in seasons of waiting. I’ll be sharing more of that in an email and blog tomorrow.

Happy Thursday! We are almost through the week! We had a rather quiet sunrise with some interesting low clouds but enough to give a decent albeit faint shimmer on the water. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Of late, up-to-date river views have been lacking; today I managed a couple. More tomorrow, dealing with the more ice covered reaches, but for now, a glance across to Rookery Island in later afternoon today❄️📷⛅

My bio mom is in the hospital right now for a COPD flare up and one of my spicy medical takes is that we have a lot research about how sleep deprivation is horrible for health and recovery but somehow this is totally ignored in clinical situations and waking you up every two hours is fine

It's been nearly a month and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

In 1956, Ahmad Shukeiry, Arab League UN ambassador and later founder of the PLO, openly said: “Palestine is nothing but southern Syria.”
Back then, even Arab leaders denied a distinct Palestinian nation. Today’s claims of “ancient Palestinian statehood” rewrite history. Facts matter.

My problem with “children deserve better movies” is technically it’s true but the way people talk about it feels like they’re blaming the children for enjoying stuff they don’t in the first place and that’s not cool.
Let people enjoy what they want.
