Dedham church displays ‘ICE was here’ sign at nativity scene without Jesus, Mary, and Joseph - The Boston Globe “You feed the hungry, you take care of the homeless ... you take care of people and their needs,” said Father Stephen Josoma. “[ICE raids] are the complete antithesis of that on so many levels.”

Congratulations! And happy birthday!

A Manticore with the caption "I am not a toy. I am not a pet. I am not a Christmas present. I am a 400 year commitment."

Consider the following before adopting a Manticore for your family

“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas”

Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

Speaking of sensible: I was only just introduced to this kanji today, and while it initially comes off as positively satanic-tier due to the number of strokes required to write it involved? It is equally sensible!

I give you: iwakura.

Spiral of silver & blue

Snowflake in the center of silver sprays

Green & red circles

Spiral kind of green & pink

The best part of the tree was the light show from inside the tree

Tree made of lights leaning towards red but rather rainbow

Tree in blue, purple & green

Tree in orange & blue

Tree all rainbowy

Also went to a Christmas market with this fantastic tree

Heavy clouds over the Rocky Mountains

Hot air balloon over the Rockies

Deep orange sunset over the Rockies

Pink clouds over dark grey clouds in front of the end of an orange sunset

So this was my view over Thanksgiving & I kind of want to move in with my sister now.

Frustrated about being beset by AI slop in the reading queue and other places over the past few days. I know it's been said a million times before, but I feel like it's always worth saying again: Stories written by you will always be better than stories written by the robot.

What a great headline

Three paperback advance reading copies of Enchanting the Fae Queen are piled in a cardboard box. The illustrated cover for Enchanting the Fae Queen, by Stephanie Burgis, shows a mischievously grinning woman with long blonde curls, a moonstone crown, a pink dress and bare feet, sitting perched in a tree teasing the uniformed general who stands before her, his expression determined and one of his hands around her closest leg while she pokes his strong nose with one finger. Vines of leaves sweep magically out from the tree around her to draw him towards her. The tagline reads: All’s fae in love and war.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.

Gen X grew up with horrifying, dead-eyed talking toys that wanted to be your friend.

They just never tried to get you to kill yourself.

PLEASE tell every author you know about this!

I was trying to write a date for next year down today & wrote 1995 so I'm apparently still in 1994.

Whoa, it just got so dark over here. Guess the next round of storms is about to hit.

Dammit, got up to brush my teeth & now am wide awake.

I am so sleepy but had such bad insomnia last night I'm afraid to try to go to sleep. So I'm going to read...

Happy birthday!

I don’t know man, if everyone else has to be dumb in order for you to be the smartest dude in the room, you’re doing it wrong
