Yes please. I’m so tired of folks just laughing me off and insisting I really do want wine/beer
Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

An amazing c. 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian dog carved from ivory. This leaping dog opens and closes its mouth as if barking by using a lever below its chest.

Please spare a thought for me as I spend my Friday morning discussing “contract management software to better utilize workflows.”
I have NO idea what that means.

The news about Teen Vogue is terrible, the latest in the long list of corporate-owned media layoffs, closures, and shifting tone and coverage.
There are so many great independent outlets, a list too long but this is a fantastic starter pack. PLEASE pick a few & support them if you're able.

Someday I will actually write my essay on “Mannerist-Baroque art and the Electric Baby Jesus Boogaloo” but for now, it just titles my lecture for Module 7

These are excellent! I’m doing my shopping this weekend
🧵 I really love crafting and it’s been amazing how the business has been successful since I leaned in about three years ago. There’s something so rewarding seeing ideas come to life, and even better when they bring joy to others 🩷🎁

The couples who no longer need to walk with kids and just sit by a fire of some sort drinking hot cider and handing out candy are really living their best lives.

In college I learned to knit by making my boyfriend a sweater. We got married. Things worked out. The sweater was never wearable. I knitted a Thneed and not even expert knitters could fix it.
I have just learned that the "sweater curse" has its own Wikipedia entry
