Ok, I knew that I was, shall we say, off my game for the back half of 2025 because stage IV breast cancer, but I just discovered that I entirely missed the latest instalment in the fantastic Ruby Vaughn Mysteries by @jesslarmstrong.bsky.social. Off to remedy that post haste!
Thanks so much for sharing a link to the full paper!! A friend and I were just lamenting our inability to read it on Monday.
Both QBs: may the spirit of jj McCarthy guide me me
Joe Buck: I think he’s still alive.
QBs: nevertheless
After a couple cancelled flights, my fiancé’s (no longer direct, thanks so much) flight was delayed for longer than the length of the flight and now they’ve been sitting on the tarmac at the destination for longer than they were in the air.
I’d like to offer my most insincere congratulations to @aircanada.bsky.social on the absolute systemic incompetence they’ve demonstrated in the last 24 hrs in response to the ON/QC snowstorm.
It would be impressive if it weren’t so utterly infuriating.
I just grabbed a copy from Kobo Canada for $5.99. Really looking forward to reading it.
After many years of passion, craftsmanship, and commitment, we want to share an important update with you. As of January 7, 2026, Maison Demarle has ceased its operations. Our workshops are now closed. For decades, the Silpat and Flexipan brands have been built and carried by dedicated teams deeply committed to product quality and to the trust of our customers. Every product reflected our passion for innovation, performance, and excellence. We would like to sincerely thank you for your loyalty, your messages, and the support you have shown us throughout the years. It has truly meant more than words can express.
Only a very specific baking audience is going to care about this but apparently the company that makes Silpat has abruptly shut down. I’m personally buying up ones I can find from secondary retailers cause these things are irreplaceable. I’m bummed.

The spectacular 4th quarter collapse was truly a sight to behold. And I cannot get over them not putting him in for the last posse so that his final throw wasn’t a pick six!
This is also why we should practice solidarity between different forms of art, with regards to Gen AI, and refuse slop in all its forms, at all stages of the process. According due respect to other people's work - the same respect we'd like accorded to ours - that should be the goal.
Mid century print ad for propeller beanies reading; “The Kids Are All in a WHIRL Over PROPELLER "BEANIES'' Gay-color felts topped with TWO bright, fast-spinning propellers...• C'mon kids.. get your 'beanie' now. The best ones are at WALGREEN'S! 39c”
I didn’t hear a touque referred as a “beanie” until I was like 16 and started talking to more Americans, at which point I was pretty confused by all the people saying they wore their “beanies” every day because I had only ever heard that word used for hats with propellers on them to that point

I'd watch the hell out of that!
You made a ton of bunting for your wedding with the intent of turning it into a quilt (IIRC).
You and Joel play cards while waiting for your meal at restaurants.
You make awesome poetry out of shitty diet books.
Just pick a fact that would make you interested in someone else.
A young girl with red hair in two long braids stands outdoors in a sunlit green forest. She wears a wide-brimmed straw hat, a light brown floral long-sleeve blouse, and a blue-and-white striped pinafore dress with white ribbon bows at the shoulders. She holds a large rolled-up red-and-brown patterned blanket or quilt in front of her with both hands, looking slightly to the side with a neutral expression.
When the two-part miniseries Anne of Green Gables debuted on CBC on Dec. 1, 1985, nearly six million Canadians tuned in. It went on to win 10 Geminis, an Emmy and a Peabody.
To this day, the miniseries is studied in film schools.
This is the story of that miniseries.

these people have too much $. tax them into the middle class.
Ugh. That’s super frustrating. And the whole BP cuff situation is ridiculous.
Definitely not just you, but I have been pedantic (or a smartass, depending on who you ask) my entire life 😂
Ok, I love this. And it would apply to Chris & I. Might steal.

Dear A.I that's been crammed into EVERYTHING, feck off.
Got this when I was writing a Linked In update. It's repugnant to get that prompt... as a writer. 🤮
Elephants in sub-Saharan Africa are being more aggressive towards people and experts believe they might be seeking revenge against humanity.

My oldest is turning 18, and I would REALLY like to spoil her for her birthday!
So, I have launched an all-new program, The 1 Day Quickstart Collection, and I'm running a raffle to play D&D or Vampire with me!

As a Libro.fm acolyte, it is my duty to inform you that audio that's purchased from your favorite indie bookseller sounds better and is also more emotionally fulfilling than the same audio purchased from a megacorp that's assisting the authoritarian federal regime.
Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)
