You know that thing that some gals do where they pull the sleeves of their sweaters down over their hands so that all you can see are the fingers sticking out? I think that's really cute.

Me in 1995: I should write a novel.
Me in 2015: Why bother, there are so many more talented writers than me, I have nothing of value to contribute.
Me in 2025: Yeah, I should definitely write that novel.

Those of us who are not Jewish have to be more on our guard against antisemitism than ever right now, not just in the world but inside of our own hearts
No one is fully immune to the propaganda flooding social media from all directions or the rising hysteria of this moment

Finally saw The Muppet Christmas Carol and Michael Caine is now one of my top 3 Scrooges.
Unlike so many other actors, Caine understood that Scrooge must be played softer at the start; not outright evil, but bitter and lonely and miserable.

Thinking about that TNR Cassandra piece, as someone who was regularly mocked for my "alarmism" predicting coup/insurrection attempts in 2019 and 2020.
It's a weird place to be, reflecting on sounding the fire alarm and watching the fire rage.
Now we have to help people find the way forward.

In the mood to listen to various covers of Teenage Dirtbag tonight (yes including the Christmas one) and this one from Noelle's perspective is my favorite new find.

Happily a longtime friend called me last night to catch up. It made me appreciate friends like that all the more.
The downside of being sentimental about old friends is that some of them have moved on emotionally and leave me on read when I reach out.
Therapy gave me tools to deal with the rejection but I have stopped short of purging the sentimentality itself. It hurts, but I still think it's a virtue.

so, i was talking to a friend about treatment-resistance this morning and realized many folks don't know what it is! technically it's when 2+ approved meds don't work, but here's what it means for me, just for context (a non-exhaustive list of stuff that HASN'T worked for my bipolar depression):

Regarding "Galaxy Express 999", I never understood why the name of the train was translated into English as "The Three Nine" instead of "The Triple Nine".
"The Triple Nine" would follow a pretty solid English convention that includes names like "Double-Oh Seven".

I was not expecting to like HAHA YOU CLOWNS but honestly it's the sweetest, least cynical thing I've seen online besides kitten videos.

After years and many bottles worth of searching, I *finally* found a 10 year tawny port I like as much as the kind I can't easily get anymore. Quinta da Devesa.
Seriously considering buying a case and a cheap little wine fridge to keep it in.

Amazon's Rufus AI is going just great, y'all.
![Asking Amazon the same question canned question twice in a row by pressing the "Does [this drone] have a camera?" button twice yields two opposite answers: (1) Yes it does (with a bunch of camera specs) and (2) No it does not.
Awesome job, Amazon. i0/IO. No notes. Yes notes.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:unh6dyatfv7rtstw6t4vexjp/bafkreiarfx3awcg66cgzv4kwbjbuo3szmrr7qqwovibmyzjfie57hgrtse@jpeg)

I desperately need heart pills or I can die. It is a refill. The hospital here does the visit out of pocket for 100. So, that is my goal. Thank you so much ❤️

I know everyone is super busy with the holidays and daily life emergencies but please do not text a close friend "Thinking of you" and then go radio silent for days when they reply: some of us have abandonment issues and tend to imagine the worst.

I really like #Pluribus but there is no way I could watch this week's episode without thinking of Inigo Montoya. The writers really should have known better.
