Autistic. Depressed. Fun at parties. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
ICE is murdering people, cable news is being cable news, and everything in the world is broken.

But at least I finally got a trick chain higher than the sick score in Downhill Jam to get the last deck for my skater in THPS.

You guys have no idea how much I value #thps

The draw of collecting Goosebumps books as a kid was what sustained a comic book collection as a young adult: they’re numbered and numbers mean collection/completion.

So I feel a particular kind of boned when I found out about classic Penguin paperbacks.

It feels like an inevitability.

Turns out snow is a hell of a lot prettier when you don’t have to go to work for a couple days.

If you want a fun, unexpected movie, check out “The Great Flood” on Netflix.

Don’t read the description - just go in cold. It’s a fun, twisty movie.

All done. Merry Christmas, everyone.

Dinner was okay. Lots of mistakes but it was my first whack at it. I’ll do better next year.

The kids didn’t like the turkey. They prefer crockpot turkey like we have during thanksgiving.

The pecan pie was really good.

The corn/onion/bell pepper mix simmered in a beer was pretty tasty, too.

Oh hell yes. That’s what I needed!

Ho ho! A BALMY 1°c here. Perfect day to go get the last mail before Christmas and try to find a wired meat probe! Maybe get some more oats to try thaw cookies again. I think they need either a longer boil or more time with the oats in the hot mix.

0% corn syrup. Can’t wait to see how it tastes tonight.

One more day to go!

Little snag in the turkey prep: my temperature probe broke and started giving wild readings. At first, cold as expected but then WAY too hot but by then, it was too late.

The bird was a lost cause.

I cleaned out the cooler, got another turkey and a shitload of ice and so far it’s going well.

My cat doesn’t usually watch TV but I guess he’s a Marshall guy.

I cannot put into words just how fuckin’ stoked I am to have a turkey thawing/brining in a 5G cooler in my kitchen, just waiting for the big day.

My first holiday meal! I’m so excited!

Big day. I got a 5g cooler in the mail and now my Christmas turkey is thawing/brining in it right now.

This is my first Xmas dinner. Thinking we’ll eat on the 24th so nobody has to cook anything on Xmas.

Very excited.

Yeah, I’m a little behind! I’ve got a life outside of Bluesky, you know. A job? Night shifts?!

Stuff’s gotta get done and I don’t appreciate all this PRESSURE, people!

At the Christmas market and wondering why it’s surprisingly hard to find a crucifix necklace. It’s Germany at Christmas in a handmade market for Christ’s sake!

An additional guarantee to death and taxes: no matter which way you’re turning, that son of a bitch who pulled up next to you is ABSOLUTELY going to pull forward enough to block your view.

I hate to be the weather guy on a social media platform, but it was cold enough for a parka today.

Which means this awful, awful year is almost over.

It also means crisp walks to the grocery store. Tonight’s dinner? Homemade orange chicken with veggies and noods.
