Christmas Chocolate Cookies
I love these dark, fat patties of chocolate shortbread exuberantly topped with festive sprinkles. There’s something so cheering about the sight of them, but they have more in their favour than looks: ...

Something I've realized as more & more places that were once open & inviting become hostile due to changing leadership is that the thing that makes them great is the people.
No matter how awful these places are, there are kind people in them, doing wonderful things, being their wonderful selves.

The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.

I do love a Christmas ritual , and making these Edible Christmas Tree Decorations, which are #RecipeOfTheDay – is one of them. I say edible, but when my kids were little, I cruelly mixed in a load of pepper so that they wouldn’t pull them off the tree to eat them all! www.nigella.com/recipes/edib...

I couldn’t have Christmas without these, or at least, not happily. Rituals are essential to give us meaning, a sense of ceremony, and making these peppery, gingerbready edible decorations is how I hav...

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

The attacks on trans rights, which are basic human rights, are a terrible injustice and an attack on truth and fact as well. Everyone should be deeply alarmed and it should be disqualifying for a politician to support such discrimination.

Really wish to channel my inner Janeway this year and dress like this for my company's Christmas party.
Gonna get my haircut short and everything. Am tired of shedding enough hair to knit myself a Pomeranian.

Everyone likes to hate on the Beatles and Oasis. They’re “too mainstream,” “too dad-rock,” “too overplayed,” whatever the current fashionable complaint is... but I love them.
Also the Gallagher brothers’ unhinged folklore is half their charm.

Right now, my energy is going towards preparing Chapter 5 for localization. The translation process begins next week. We have extracted all the English text and we are now annotating it.
