The "first they came..." poem gets quoted and quoted and quoted and quoted and you know what, we do in fact know who they're coming for first, right now, and that is trans people, and the answer needs to be "absolutely the fuck not, you motherfuckers," full stop.

A perfect read to start into the last advent weekend. It has stories, lore, librarians, a 40 year quest and a happy end. Settle in and enjoy!
"Twelfth Night Till Candlemas"
The story of a 40 year book-quest and of its remarkable ending
And about goblins and Christmas; the perils of ChatGPT; and the real value of librarians and so on

Do you need a break from the daily nonsense in the world? a friend who talks to you about lovely things? then you can't go wrong by listening to Emma's podcast. I've yet to come across an episode that isnt a balm for the soul.
Lovelies, here's day 1 of the 2024 Tea and Sanctuary advent calendar. Please excuse the state of my voice! It's the perfect length for a nice cup of tea (or any beverage of your choice). Cosy, low stakes and hopefully soothing. Any boosts greatly appreciated!

I cannot tell your father anymore so I'm telling you @rhi.bsky.social Tiffany has saved me in more ways than I understand yet. The books are were I go when I don't know what to do. Reading them makes me feel understood and the world makes a smidge more sense again. Thank you.

Ok. Let's talk about "Do not obey in advance." I have been recommending Snyder's On Tyranny to many, many people since it came out. I am planning to teach it shortly, too. It's a great book. It is very timely. But it's not perfect.

It seems like forever ago because I was just 23 when I wrote it, but I am still really proud of this story about how Terry Pratchett got involved in the Oblivion modding scene - and why said scene became so important to him in his later years

Perfect read for any season, really, cause the books are excellent. But especially this time of year. I should do a re-read, actually.
And do NOT miss out on the murder husbands. I'm extremely biased here, cause they are my favourites but also, I'm right!

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
