The MERCHAPS

There are so many mermen ornaments! I did not post the cop or lawyer mermen, because ew, but they exist, along with Sexy EMT Merman and Sexy Teacher Merman.

Anyway, there are an absolute ton of these (a mer-pup, a mer-trucker, and a mer-leather daddy, just to name a few). If I had any disposable income, literally all of these would be on my tree this year, which is why I do not have disposable income.

a shirtless cowboy merman in a hat with a red bandana around his neck (not in any pockets). he has a blue tail and red mer-chaps, maybe? with a rope coiled at his hip ready to lasso you. Also he's riding a hobby horse, but the stick just kinda disappears into his mer-chaps. I need to know where the stick goes.

Again with the perfect name. this one is Cowpoke. However, I have several follow up questions. does he have a blue tail and he's wearing red mer-chaps? where is the rest of the hobby horse stick going?

A guy with an octopus lower half. Some of the tentacles are holding a bar cloth and a cocktail. He's pouring a drink from a cocktail shaker and wearing a crop top that says "Need a stiff one?" I don't think he means to drink.

Kraken Open a Cold One

a merman with a blue tail holding a globe on his shoulder. also he has a tattoo on his bicep, a circle with a cross through it. I am not a gay man so unsure of the meaning there. Still, he looks like he's living his best mer life.

This guy is allegedly called Axis, but come on: that's Tom of FINland

a merman eating a hot dog suggestively. there are a lot of weird mustard splotches on his chest and crotch. speaking of crotch, the bulge is crazy. i don't think that's how mermen would reproduce.

This guy already has the perfect name. I could never improve on "Messy Weiner Merman."

A christmas tree ornament of a sexy canadian mountie, his jacket is open to reveal an unlikely six pack, and he has a black merman tail for some reason.

I've been feeling particularly desperate and angry all the time, so I found some December Diamonds merman ornaments and I'm going to make up dumb names for them. Starting off strong with Dudley Do-Me-Right, here:

I got a cherry turnover at the Polish bakery across the street, so honestly kind of better than a lollipop.

At the doctor's office. Bet I'm not even gonna get a lollipop. Adulthood is bullshit.

Irony is dead.

I just saw the 2025 US banned books list. I just want to say, go read books. Talk about them. Share them. And please write them.

While many of these books will still be published, they do become less accessible when removed from libraries

Be a book punk. Read them all

"I'm the world's most clever bard, except I got framed and exiled and my parole officer is this annoying-ass paladin dragging me through the backwaters of creation until we accidentally end up on a quest to save the world. She is so annoying and her arms are so big."

Trump, I don't really like traveling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some meritorious things, I like going to the black neighborhoods of Washington, there I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should unite. I confess that l like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, in the history of the US, are memorable and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the US as well as within my country I don't like your oil, Trump, you are going to end the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a drink of whiskey that l accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I am not, nor is any Colombian. So if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, l'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand it, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of whom I am one, perhaps the last You will kill me, but I will survive in my town, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom You don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake the hands of the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and of the black and white peasant boys of the USA, before whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which ! reached, after

They are the USA and before them I kneel, before no one else. Overthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. Colombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Córdoba, the civilization at that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resisters turned into slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take shelter in its African songs. My land is made of goldsmiths from the time of the Egyptian pharaohs, and of the first artists of the world in Chiribiquete. You will never dominate us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, and who is called Bolivar, opposes us. Our people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, now Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered. I raise a flag and as Gaitan said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA. Your blockade does not scare me; because Colombia, in addition to being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will offer it your sweetness. FROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA OPENS TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY. I am informed that you put a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the US, I do the same. Let our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world

I trained for years for this moment! Sneaking books out of my dad's collection, practicing my cowboy skills on my very patient horse, learning to Google ... okay mostly that last one, I admit.

Just my luck that my lowest motivation day happens to be when chatgpt is down. Have to write docs for work and now I'm terrified it's going to look like I depend on AI.
