Since another holiday is upon us: you don’t have to spend your holidays with abusive people who treat you like shit.
This country is already abusive enough. Please take care of yourselves. Get the divorce. Estrange from family if it helps you heal.
Keeping the peace is bullshit
So I watched The Neverending Story for the first time in an age today, and this quote from G'Mork really stuck out to me.
"Because people who have no hopes are easy to control; and whoever has the control... has the power!"
Even more powerful than it was 40 years ago. Let's hold onto hope folks 💜

You cannot tug on the heartstrings of the heartless
You cannot appeal to morals of the immoral
You cannot shame the shameless
Get it together
I went ahead and added that one to my TBR 💕 it looks really interesting
It's pretty good so far! It was recommended to me by a close friend who worked through it with their therapist, due to some relevant issues. And I'm reading it alongside If Only I'd Known! by Chelsey Brooke Cole (rec'd by my mother). Definitely two reads that require breathers, but very enlightening
I'm reading this one right now lol
I didn't think I'd run into someone who was there here on bluesky! I'm so glad you both enjoyed it 💕 we love showing up for local events like that.
A group photo of eight people: seven dressed as white, Star Wars Snowtroopers (one has a Santa hat on), two as Star Wars Hoth Trench Troopers, and one professional Santa Claus. They are posed in front of two booths and a snow-capped mountain in the background.
A photo of a large group of people all dressed as Santa's gathering for a 5K marathon in front of a green and blue blow-up arch. There are two, white Snowtroopers standing on either side of the path looking at the group.
The results of the Chasing Santa Cycling/5K Toy Drive in Colorado Springs! We were the snowy brigade with five Snowtroopers and two Hoth Trench Troopers. We lost the dance off to the professional Santa's though 🎅

Thanks! 💕 80F sounds so heavenly though. The 40s is definitely great for the Snowies though even with some extra warming layers for bulk and fluff
Thanks! And that's awesome! Yeah, it's pretty chilly out here in CO. It's supposed to be in the 40s here too right before another snowstorm comes in so it's a great time for our Snowies. We have to be kitted up for the run tomorrow at 8 am and then we have a Children's Hospital parade next week!
Two clear containers with the parts for a white Star Wars Snowtrooper costume inside. The lid is off on the top container showing the helmet, some fabric parts, and some hard plastic parts.
Finally doing our #501st Snowtrooper kit maintenance for our troop tomorrow morning at the Santa toy run marathon! @sharkychase.bsky.social always handles the plastic/metal repairs and I've got all of our fabric parts washing/disinfecting/febreez-ing 💪

ALT text copied and pasted from the linked website: An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”

question: I feel like the relationship of the audience to movies has changed in the past ten or 15 years. They expect the movie to come to them. answer: Absolutely. They’d rather go home and turn on their TV and see a film that way. And let’s face it, a certain kind of corruption comes in because people go home and they shop around on these streaming platforms. There’s some good things about the platforms. They create a lot of movies. They create a lot of jobs. But there’s so many distractions that you can’t enter the stuff. People watch five minutes of something and they say, “I’m not really into it” and they go to another thing. “I’m not really into it.” Then another thing. “I’m not really into it.” Then they go to bed. If you don’t put in the effort, you’re not going to receive much. And the discourse gets lowered, and everything gets a little more dumbed down and then that’s when the ruffians come in, and they’re the ones with energy and stupidity and then they can crush all the thoughtful people. That’s not good for culture, and that’s not good for humanity. We see the results of that all the time.

Brat summer is a distant memory, its battleaxe winter: season of boilers, dragons & fearsome maiden aunts.
Get in girls, we’re wearing our most moth eaten fur coats & rocking up in a fug of Embassy & Yardley with a box of York Fruits & a bottle of Harvey’s Bristol Cream & shit’s about to get real

Huge shout out to my friends and family book club that got me to finally finish a book I dropped back in middle school (oops) 🤣
4⭐️ really enjoyed it!
I recently started trying to keep plants alive and I didn't realize that eventually I'd have to punish the plants by hacking off the parts that were growing too well. What kind of sick hobby is this
Two gray cats cuddled together on a bed
My wife and my kitties are so cute! When it gets colder out, they love to cuddle together.
Tell your kids, seek out the librarians…instead of a policeman.🧐 It’d be safer, imo.
