It's that time of year when I basically eat nothing but chex mix until mid-January because my ADHD brain thinks other food is stupid. (Except for Thanksgiving dinner and leftovers!!! Of course!)

Movie poster of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. Depicts a castle in the background with the Cast dressed up in the foreground.

Finally snuggling in to watch the New Downton Abbey Movie!!!!

Some good news.

Plenty of things left to fight for, but one thing to not worry about for now.

Book cover for "Cabin Head and Tree Head" by Scott Campbell. Depicts a drawing of and orange creature with a cabin for a Head, waving at a green creature with a tree for a Head.

This was adorbs! The illustrations are perfection. I was transported to this happy little land for about 20 min, and it was fabulous.

Illustrated cover for "Blood Over Bright Haven" by M.L.Wang. Depicts a woman, standing in the center of a tornado of fire and blood.

Finished this up tonight. I almost DNF'd it twice. It starts out slow. It was a bit gruesome for me, and I had a hard time connecting with the characters. I liked the ending because it wasn't, "and they lived happily ever after." I definitely need some time to process this book.

Trump Administration Demands States ‘Undo’ Work to Send Full Food Stamps

Wow! The lengths Trump will go to just to make Americans starve. His administration has ordered states to “immediately undo” any steps taken to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

Breaking news: Target tells introverts to shop elsewhere! As if having to ask staff to unlock your products wasn't bad enough???? If I weren't already boycotting, this would totally stop me from shopping there!

Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.
