There is so much happening in December this year... feels like the universe procrastinated.

Just looked this up and... oh. Well. That's unfortunate.

I am very much afraid that "this non nazi leftist was so dumb he spent 18 years wearing a nazi tattoo"is not the endorsement that you seem to think it is

Just wrote a damn near perfect 500 words for a cute little prompt that I realized, belatedly, isn't accepting submissions until December. Cool. Cool cool cool.

"Put Me In the Zoo" has an absolute death grip on our household

My grandparents used to argue whether people they disliked were evil or stupid -- he'd insist that racists were just ignorant, while she explained they were evil. Both thought they were being kind.

Writing a blog post with @thepaintedlion.bsky.social about co-authoring as @sylviabarry.bsky.social and our main conclusion/advice is...

Be best friends.

This is either very helpful or completely unhelpful. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I keep telling my colleagues this and they look at me blankly.

There are two kinds of Mom/Eldest Daughter Voice:

1. The kind that can break through any amount of noise or chaos
2. The kind that cannot be picked up on any known instrument, let alone the human ear.

Writing the dedication and acknowledgements for Lessons In Balance and trying to find a way to describe a soulmate-adjacent friendship of 35 years and all I can come up with is... bosom friend.

Like. We need better words for this shit.

Her hermitage was located in a marshy wetland, inhabited by frogs whose loud croaking kept her up all night. One day, she was so tired that she slept through when Domitius knocked at her door, and he, thinking she had already gone on ahead, left without her. Legend states that Ulphia placed the frogs in the area around her under interdict as a result of their loud croaking, which kept her awake at nights. A 19th century hagiographer noted that the frogs in the area around the oratory of Saint Ulphia were, indeed, very quiet. However, if these frogs were taken elsewhere, they became boisterous once again. At the end of her life, she formed and directed a community of religious women at Amiens. In iconography, she is depicted as a young nun seated in prayer on a rock with a frog in the pool near her.

I googled “patron saint of frogs” for a bit and then immediately abandoned the bit because I would so much rather actually talk about St. Ulphia the 8th century hermit who cursed her local frogs for keeping her up at night and making her sleep through church

The answer is one novelty bakeshop and two family-owned green grocers'.

I don't know why, but I can tell you the book review portion is going to be the hardest
