lawn Christmas tree is back! 🎄🎁

everybody gets to enjoy it, and I don't have to worry about keeping the cat out of the tree

It's true. @canawa.bsky.social can attest I have a bit of a crush on Mr. Cohen

Day 2 of #ALXBeercember is Bluejacket Brewing's The Ave. I'm not sure if it's a tribute to Del Ray, or a vague threat of annexation from the DC based brewery

Don't forget! The Great ALX Skeets Holiday card exchange is open. Make sure you sign up by December 8th so you get a match!
Okay ALX Skeeters, the holiday card exchange is back.

Pretty simple: you sign up. We match you with another household. You send them a card. Somebody else sends you a card. Everybody gets holiday joy.

Day 1 of 2025 #AlxBeercember - it's Albino Rhino white stout from Prairie Artisan Ales

increasingly skeptical of Strong Floor No Ceiling when the book is sold like this.

WTF does access even mean in this context? That's the language of enshitification. We all have "access" to healthcare - but not all of us have the means to make good on access. FFS.

We decorated the sanctuary today. Normally I'm skeptical of doing Christmas decorating before December, but this year has sucked, so holiday joy it is.

So much joy this weekend. And so many people to thank for it.

thanks to @yuda.org and @caslon.bsky.social for hosting the Pozole party. Seriously excellent soup!

I want good municipal services and housing rules that create more options for landowners and more possibilities for cultural and economic growth. If that makes me a leftist, then save me a seat on that free bus.

nabbed some Heady Topper!

Planet Wine in Del Ray offered an Alchemist can drop at 5 PM today - I got the second to last four pack at 5:12.
