Am I listening to "Carol of the Bells" right now?

Did I forget to listen to ANY version of it before/during Winter Solstice *and* Christmas, even though it's a tradition for me?
Also yes.
Sneaking it in now. Just 28 hours left till I say "Byeee, 2025! 👢 🪟 🖕"

I think the thing that pisses me off most about that article by the lady with the insufferable face on why indie publishers/authors MUST use AI for the 'non-creative' tasks is that I'm an author currently in a state of deep depression and overwhelm, and you know what I use instead of AI? COMMUNITY.

I wrote a book!
I’ve finished ‘projects’ before, but never got to the point where I thought, “yes, this works, it’s finished and I’m truly happy with it.”
It’s sad and scary and weird and queer and it’s mine. I wrote a book!

As someone who is going to be needing *lots* of care from nurses in the very near future, maybe it wasn't the best idea to insult all of them. But Donald is smart like that.
