A lovey exploration of the relationship Harriet and the Dowager Duchess of Denver and what education means to each of them
For Today's #DecRecs it's time to talk about this years Yuletide fics! Yuletide is an annual small fandoms fic exchange -- fics are currently up but authors are not yet revealed!
here's a couple I liked
Today for #DecRecs I want to talk about rotating teapots.
These are really clever gadgets that work pretty much like a gaiwan but with less wrist action which is great for people like me who have hand problems! They also might be good if you find the whole gaiwan thing a bit intimating!
Today for #DecRecs I want to talk about the cool campaign game R and I have been playing: Earthborne Rangers!
It's a solar punk game where you play rangers whose job is to wander around and help people and nature.
This is a run up to today's #DecRecs which is a fic for that ship!

I liked the characterization and how the it added magic elements to the setting in way that felt very natural . (I think it would work without knowing canon)
For today's #DecRecs I want to share some of my favorite songs so far form the Chinese reality show Crush of Music which I'm part way through watching having just finished episode 4
#DecRecs Day 24: going to rec one of my favorite Christmas movies, The Bishop’s Wife (1947), starring David Niven, Cary Grant, and Loretta Young. Bittersweet, magical, slightly angsty, and the only love triangle I’ve ever been interested in.
I had PT this morning and it wore me out so for #DecRecs have a pretty picture

Today for #DecRecs I want to rec fancy seam finishing for sewing projects! I mentioned in an earlier rec that this year I've been sewing a lot of garments for myself. For all of those I've used either french seams or flat felled seams and they are so nice to look at and so stratifying to make!
Today for #DecRecs I want to talk about Saint Cavish a Chinese food youtube channel run by Christopher St. Cavish

#DecRecs no seriously have you watched K-Pop Demon Hunters yet? If not being a ten year old girl or not caring about kpop have stopped you so far, those are bad reasons. It's so beautiful.
It's winter solstice here today so for #DecRecs I'm reccing "Sing for the Coming of the Longest Night" by Katherine Fabian and Iona Datt Sharma a solstice themed contemporary fantasy novella. I love it dearly!
#decrecs another feel good video recommendation to follow up the one i shared last night: "nosferatu dancing to lady ga ga" from 2009
i hope this random cosplayer is living their best life now 💅

I keep getting distracted and not posting #DECRecs toda. So I think it's time for another of my favorite SFF shorts:
“Monkey King, Faerie Queen” by Zen Cho
It's exactly what you think is form the title and its amazing!

#decrecs if you need something to make you feel good, watch this video of this guy dancing to the cha cha slide in a full suit of armor

I've been terrible about #DecRecs but if you're a podcast listener, Sarah Marshall's The Devil You Know is incredible and if you're interested in anecdotal examples of the impact of the Satanic Panic you should listen to it even tho I'm over here in the first place dreading the rest of episode 6.
For today's #DecRecs I have a cool boardgame that I first played this year Vantage by Designer Jamey Stegmaier
your party crash lands on an alien planet you are all in different locations, represented by illustrated cards. You can tell the other people about the cards but not show them the cards
So for today's #DecRecs I want to rec one of my favorite fics ever "on a long journey" by @twigofwillow.bsky.social
archiveofourown.org/works/298197...
This is a Lan Sizhui centric post-canon CQL fic and It's really the best!
For #DecRecs Day 17:
Bon Appétit's Street Eats video series! Experts show you how street food is cooked and then eat it! Much enthusiastic discussion of food and cooking!

#DecRecs Day 16: Happy Birthday, Jane Austen! If you’ve never read her works, and you’re down for the pining and yearning, may I recommend ‘Persuasion’?
My wife and I have… four copies. Five? Each one is special in its own way!

Seeing as I'm using #DecRecs to reflect on the past year I need to talk about crossdressing girl media! You know the trope where a girl has to dress as boy so that she can go do something she otherwise wouldn't be allowed to do? I love that!
Today's #DecRecs : My Kyoto by @naye.bsky.social
A vid about Kyoto with various anime sources – about Naye’s experience living in and nostalgia for the city! It’s just lovely! This vid made me feel things about Kyoto even though I don't have a connection to it
