Somehow I ended up on threads again for a spell and discovered that Sydney Leroux is *destroying* the USMNT and, frankly, she’s right.

For the record, here’s the website about which she speaks. There‘a nothing that says unsolicited pieces aren’t accepted. #selfpublished authors have enough hurdles to clear. Degrading us while we try is a choice.

It takes a tremendous about of time to write something personal, work with it, and try to have it meet all of the guidelines for submission. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to actually submit it. To insult the writer of a piece while rejecting her work isn’t necessary. #writerlife

Tfw you finally get up the guts to sell your book at a holiday market and … you don’t sell one. Not a single. Solitary. One. #authorlife #fail

No, actually you don’t have to post that thing about “respecting” MTG for coming out against the administration. She‘s no different just because she, too, is now a target of this regime.

Every year I take a “birth-minute us-ie” with my son and it’s one of my favorite birthday traditions. I have no idea how long he’ll let me do it, but I’m gonna treasure it until he doesn’t. #momlife

It’s astounding the degree to which the doing nothing about the # of extremely aged Dems in the House, Senate, and Supreme Court has bitten us in the rear. This isn’t to say older people can’t govern. It’s to say there’s been no consideration of what happens *after* them. And we’re paying for it.

Trying to live each day with a modicum of normalcy while chaos reigns all around kinda feels like playing a golf tournament against the backdrop of a big-ass wildfire that know one knows the source of.

Several people are walking across the green of a golf course that backs up to a body of water. Behind them is a huge plume of smoke mushrooming above the trees.

This guy is working on our neighbors’ new porch. We’d offered the contracting firm our parking pad to use while the project is happening so they didn’t block the alley and make our block’s life more difficult—but had we known they worked with white supremacists, we wouldn’t have.

Halfway through our first day of virtual learning and neither of us hates our life (yet). So I’m going to take that as a win.

A friend went to the Annapolis protest today and sent me pictures of the signs they carried. “You forgot the eggs, Donnie!” complete with carton was my fave..

There’s this one house in the next neighborhood over that, every Christmas, creates an elaborate scene using pig decorations. This year’s is “(Snowball) War of the Pigs,” and I love it.

Saving this little nugget from @rogbennett.bsky.social ’s newsletter this week. I love the idea of learning to be an “athletic listener.” And no, it’s not (just) because it’s the only thing I’d be considered ‘athletic’ in!

Everything about the holidays this year feels a bit like fiddling while Rome burns. But I can’t help trying to live each little joy to its fullest today when the future looks so dark.

Practicing some hand-lettering with some … let’s just say “inconsistent” results. 😉 Having a lot of fun learning with @gracecallidesigns.bsky.social’s workbook, though! Makes a nice little gift for the doodler in your life ❤️

In a notebook, hand-drawn letters in different styles say “Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.” Doodles of holly leaves, poinsettia flowers, and a Christmas tree are drawn off to the side.

Always a lovely day for a trip to Guinness Baltimore 🍻 (This is their Winter Warmer, i know it’s sacrilegious but I don’t care for the stout 😬)

I volunteered at my kindergartener’s Thanksgiving Feast (yknow, that traditional meal of popcorn, grapes, and muffins?), and I peeped his placemat before his class came in. Ah, the simple gratitude of youth. ❤️🤎🧡

A laminated yellow placemat sits on an orange tablecloth. It was made by a child named TJ, and says “Happy Thanksgiving, I am thankful for my parents, my sister, my house, and my computer.”

If you’re looking for a good read for your Thanksgiving travels, give Love and Whiskey a try. The history at the heart of the book is fascinating, but the tale of how Fawn Weaver unearths that history is even better.

The cover of the book “Love and Whiskey,” which chronicles the little-known history of Nearest Green—a Black man who served as the first master distiller of Jack Daniel’s whiskey. The photo on the book’s cover features a black-and-white image of one of Green’s descendants next to Jack Daniel.

I can’t get over how funny this was. “Let’s smush Lewis Hamilton in the back of a car with the teammate he loathes and the guy whose job he’s taking next year. And…action.” Well done, F1 scriptwriters. 🤣

Three men sit very close to one another in the back seat of a small car. The man in the middle is talking while the other two look very uninterested in listening.
