Picked up a pretty little Sweetheart Sister pony at an antique store today. She has a hair trim but it was a good price and perfection was never a requirement for my herd. She will clean up very nicely. 💕

When You’re a Winter Spirit/God Who Was Just Trying to Bring Jolly Presents to Children but Suddenly You Got Weakened By Some Assassin Stealing Millions of Teeth and You Had to Turn Into a Giant Pig Because That was Your Earlier Incarnation and Then You Got Killed by Dogs That Were Really Spectral Beings Who Audit Reality but You’re Alive Again Because a Skeleton’s Granddaughter Stopped the Tooth Spell and Bound Your Wounds and NOW They Still Expect You to RAISE THE SUN:

HERE WE GO AGAIN, MY FELLOW BELIEVERS IN SANTA! The day is finally here, for us to keep an eye on our favorite holly jolly man with presents via NORAD Tracks Santa! 

Here’s your yearly history lesson about this merry tradition:

In 1955, a Sears department store placed an advertisement in a Colorado Springs newspaper telling children that they could telephone Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.  But the phone number for the “hotline” had a typo in it and calls from excited kids went to Colorado Springs’ Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) Center instead. Colonel Harry Shoup responded by telling children that there were signs on the radar that Santa was on his way south from the North Pole.  Colonel Shoup also told his staff to give all children who called in a “current location” for Santa Claus. A tradition began which continued when NORAD replaced CONAD in 1958.  And it’s been going on for OVER SIXTY-FIVE YEARS!  

As of right now on the tracker (8:26 am EST), Santa is soaring over Australia in his open sleigh, and he and the reindeer have already delivered 827k gifts!  YOU CAN DO IT, SANTA!  GET THE MAGIC ACROSS THE GLOBE FOR 2023!!

Meanwhile, NORAD’s Santa-spying tech can also be used as a fun way to learn more about the world, since its map pops up new links to Wikipedia articles and photos–and sometimes little videos–for locations Santa visits! Check it out!

Charles Dickens stared.

It was a good stare. Men with eyebrows like that tended to have good stares. He stared at the scene before him like an artist studying the work of a master, pouring over every detail, canyons of cogitation forming in the furrows of his magnificent eyebrows.

He said: “I think I’ve got it, now.”

The time traveller blinked. “Yeah?”

“This device-” Dickens gestured vaguely. “It might be an elaborate zoetrope. The players are not actually performing, but we see a succession of images that are played so quickly, the eye is fooled into believing that they may be so.”

“That’s. Definitely a way of looking at it.”

“And in this instance, the zoetrope is depicting something like a Punch and Judy show,” said Dickens. “Only by some cleverness, the professor operating the puppets has managed to make himself invisible.”

“Could be.”

Dickens sat back. “Then really, I don’t see what all the fuss is about. Although I do have one question.”

“Yes?”

“Why is Bob Cratchit a frog?”

The time traveller considered this. “Well,” he started. He stopped. “I guess - why not a frog?”

Charles Dickens’s magnificent eyebrows knotted together. Then he nodded. “Fair enough.”

If the holidays are hard

Not dead, just wrestling with my life. 😅 Depressive tendencies, executive disfunction, working full time and raising a neurodivergent toddler takes a lot out of a person.

I like to hope I can finish Breathe With Me in 2024, but who knows. I imagine the fic-reading world has moved on from it, but I would feel a heck of a lot better about myself creatively if I could finish it.

So, Happy Holidays, homies— hope you’re all having a good time.

Took 3 days off work starting today. BB has doctor appointments today and Thursday. Tomorrow is my birthday. I was quite excited for my days off.

…

Husband and I both have food poisoning. Or something. Idk, we’re puking our guts out and BB is climbing/standing on furniture.

FML. Trying to figure out how to let the clinic know we won’t be at BB’s morning appointment because they do their utmost to obscure any means of direct communication and make me do everything through a fucking app that requires 48 hour notice…. Guess if worse comes to worse we’re just assholes who didn’t show up. I hate that.

Unpopular opinion but literally not one person in the world should have their human rights violated

Feeling bad/sad for the billionth time for not finishing the fic by now. 😅 me scant free time has been going to other things but I still think about it a lot so it’s not like I totally lost interest, I just… need like a month off from all responsibility. 🙄

Have kinda withdrawn from fandom stuff, I just don’t have the spoons for chit chat. I miss it, sometimes a lot. But, c’est la vie.

please block me if you read books with death in them. i don’t care your “reason” - it’s clear you have a death fetish, are pro-necrophilia, and think killing is okay. i don’t care if someone you know died recently or if you have a terminal illness. it is not okay to consume fiction with death in it to cope. and that’s that on that, you freaks. pro-death crowd dni.
