"Every family, every person has their own traditions. Their own level of solemnity. Their on level of joy. Their own way of doing things. "Normal" is what we make it."
As someone that's spent the past 15+ years really trying to define Christmas for myself, that hit kinda hard.

#COMPANIONSofCHRISTMAS: The Krampus!
The Krampus was a rural giftgiver who would deliver presents to good Alpine children and stuff the naughty ones into his basket and take them back to his lair, where they would be forced to spend the next year making toys for good kids. 1/

Happy Advent to you and your kin! And everyone else's kin too, come to that. As every December so far this decade, I'm going to do an Advent Calendar of beautiful and brilliant carols, with each day's added to a YouTube playlist and also to the ongoing Spotify one, now in its sixth(!) year.

People on a barely liveable wage will look on in total apathy as their managers and directors rock up in cars worth 4X their yearly salary, yet descend into apoplectic rage at the mere idea of a disabled/unemployed person possibly having just one nice thing in their life.
Truly incredible scenes.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Let’s never forget rationing ventilators and Zoom funerals. Boris Johnson and his cronies partied while our loved ones lay dying alone. COVID-19 was the worst public health crisis in a century. We should have locked down earlier. To some of us, PPE was not a get-rich-quick commodity.
