Each Dec., we have Tracey Thorn's Tinsel & Lights album in rotation. It's a beautiful & melancholy tribute to winter & the holidays. This year, the songs resonate more, especially Joy. "All that they destroy, and in their face, we throw our joy." Resist by finding joy & living joyous moments & lives

Perspective. Pretty sure this was not the original intended effect, but from my position below, I love how it appears that inflated Cool Santa and Penguin are sharing a belly laugh with the painted figure in the mural!

Do yourself a favor and seek out the fading embers of a sunset in clear skies over a body of water. Then, relax and watch it fade away, knowing tomorrow the sun will rise in a new day and will offer someone an equally magnificent show on its return.

Reason #371 why BlueSky and its users are the best! I've probably spent too many minutes marveling at Tom Holland's lip sync (below) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's lip sync of Rhythm Nation (link in reply). So happy to see others revelling in it as well!
The rules of the internet clearly state that when you see Tom Holland’s lip sync battle, you must re-post it.

Silver lining #1: in reading great post-election pieces and my replies here at BSky, I've learned at least two new words on the opposite ends of the spectrum--"immiserate" from @joshtpm.bsky.social (follow all things TPM here & at their website!) and "koan" from my replies.

I've read many characterizations of what is expected to come in the new year, but this one is great and hits differently because it is equal parts relatable (tides, puddles!), sustaining (reflect the light that will abide), and transcendental (our unity with nature).
Without the tide, the blue waves turn into puddles, captive in the rocks.
But they reflect the light.
And with the movement of the earth and the moon, the blue waves will soon overwhelm the rocks again.

A miniature study of shades of purple (violet, magenta, and maroon); or, how I learned to love the self-watering planter in unseasonably warm but dry weather.
