Happy new year! One of my lemon pigs was pre-zested, so I hope that's not bad luck.

For those of us who pay quarterly taxes or any other payment by December 31, this unheralded change in postal policy can bite you in the butt. This could have other unforeseen consequences (e.g., mail-in balloting), but for now, this is more timely.

My sister's dog chewed up her favorite sweater so I told her I'd try mending it. I wasn't expecting much, especially since I was just freehanding it trying to knit shapes to match the holes, but it turned out so much cooler than expected!

There are “rules” in photography that you learn and then can break for visual effect. That is different than not knowing the rules. The former is very much what is happening here. Choices were made and they show the power of photography.
Oh my god y'all I had not seen the rest of the Vanity Fair photos holy shit. Christopher Anderson deserves a medal.

Look at this. He left the LIGHT SWITCHES in the edited photos! These assholes look like their well-meaning mom took a picture of them on their first day in a grown-up job.

Ken Paxton has launched a snitch line to gather reports of supposed violations of Texas' transphobic bathroom policing law. Please do not abuse this snitch line. Please do not fill it with faff and nonsense. Please do not attach huge, unwieldy and irrelevant documentation to any reports.

I brought a nice cake to my office holiday lunch and I'm just. Confused by the response to it?? Someone grilled me about whether I really made it, and then asked if I was a random ethnicity (not related to the cake but he said he'd expect it from someone of that ethnicity).

Last night my (very Jewish) Mom wanted to go to a "live nativity" advertised in our neighborhood. There was a family who used to do it every year and they brought in donkeys and piglets for people to pet while they read Bible verses to us or something.

A door to door magazine scammer accused me of having negative vibes, and I've gotta admit that hurts more than I expected.

How is it that online lists will swear that every beautiful houseplant will immediately kill your cat, yet when I put them outside, the squirrels act like it's a free salad bar and they're just fine????

HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

You know there's gotta be a trans guy out there somewhere who, when he came out, someone gave him a gift of a taxidermied moose.

He's sitting in his studio apartment, this massive moose looming, wondering why his parents thought he would want a moose.

BREAKING: A federal judge ordered public schools in Texas to remove displays of the Ten Commandments in their classrooms.

The 10 commandments school law in Texas is so ridiculous it feels surreal to read about. Basically every school district has to choose whether to display it and get sued, or not display it and also get sued. Our tax dollars being put to good use.
