But live music? It continues to deliver everything its social contract has always promised: community, joy, a vision of a better world.

If you're a fan of Ann Leckie and/or Arkady Martine (and why wouldn't you be), and/or discussions of empire and imperialism in science fiction, let me point you towards this conversation between the two on that very topic:

Oh wow!!! Happy Rex Stout's and Jo Walton's birthday, y'all! Not a combo of favorite authors I have ever thought about before, ngl 😜
Happy bookish birthdays, 1 December, to: Rex Stout (Nero Wolfe), Candace Bushnell (Sex and the City), Henry Williamson (Tarka the Otter), Jo Walton (Among Others), John Crowley (Little, Big), Tahar Ben Jelloun (The Sand Child)... ilmk.wordpress.com/2025/12/01/h...

Device…hoarding. Because you don’t go get a new one while yours is still fine.
Apparently I am also practicing car hoarding, house hoarding, husband hoarding, dog hoarding, computer hoarding, furniture hoarding and art hoarding.

I don't understand why Bob's Red Mill's website formats recipes so badly. I can't print them in a readable way from the recipe page, there is no downloadable pdf, you can't even copy the text because of all the formatting, whyyyyyyy

You can’t mindlessly celebrate Thanksgiving. Or else, what you’re grateful for is the stealing, pillaging, and raping of my people’s homeland for your comfort.
America is grateful it’s never been caught. Never paid a price. Never had to reckon for its genocidal intent & disrespect of Mother Earth.

Before switching off the setting, go in and clean out your social and promotions tabs because those will go away once you turn off smart features.
