#WinterSolstice
Image shows a screen grab of the poem 'The Shortest Day', by Susan Cooper. It reads: The Shortest Day by Susan Cooper And so the Shortest Day came and the year died And everywhere down the centuries of the snow-white world Came people singing, dancing, To drive the dark away. They lighted candles in the winter trees; They hung their homes with evergreen; They burned beseeching fires all night long To keep the year alive. And when the new year’s sunshine blazed awake They shouted, reveling. Through all the frosty ages you can hear them Echoing behind us—listen! All the long echoes, sing the same delight, This Shortest Day, As promise wakens in the sleeping land: They carol, feast, give thanks, And dearly love their friends, And hope for peace. And now so do we, here, now, This year and every year. Welcome, Yule! This poem is available as a children’s hardcover with beautiful watercolor illustrations by Carson Ellis.

So this happened on Saturday. It was a beautiful day and our families surrounded us with so much love and support. 💕

You would never know I was dealing with a partial blockage of my stomach and esophagus in these pictures, and holy hell the things one can do when they have to! Bodies, man. 🤣

What do you think Sara's last name was?
Because I am stumped!
Image show a woman's name. The first name is legible as 'Sara', but the surname is a bit tricky to figure out. It begins with a 'C' and could be as long as 12 letters.

A few of my favourite pictures of George.
He was such a good boy! The very best boy.
💔
George, the Bichon Frisé-mic, lying on a bright duvet. He's lying mostly on his back, tilted to the right, with his left-front paw in his mouth. His left ear is flopping backwards. George, the Bichon-mix, is lying on his back on a bed. He is on soft ivory and cream blankets, and is fairly spread-eagle. His private part has been hidden. 🤣 George, the Bichon-mix, is lying on my bed, looking very sleepy. Behind him is a window, through which you can see houses behind. There is a vase of red tulips on the windowsill. There is also a small portion of a boookshelf visible, a lovely green plant, and an analog clock that reads 12 noon. George, the Bichon-mix, is sleeping on my bed. He has wedged himself between my body and left arm, and is straddling my arm with his hind leg. His front-left paw rests on my hand.

My dog died today. He was a very good boy. The best boy. He has been dealing with a number of big health problems, and he was a champion, but he'd begun to suffer and he was tired of fighting. I am heartbroken.
Photo show my dog, a white Bichon Frisé-mix. He is sitting on a beige towel, staring directly at me/the camera. He was a very good boy.

BREAKING: Doug Ford is rushing through his attack on renters, Bill 60.

No on can afford a place to live and the cost of rent is sky-high. Bill 60 will make it easier for corporate landlords to raise rents and evict you.

Join me in taking a stand.

Today, we honour transgender, Two-Spirit, and non-binary people whose lives have been tragically lost to acts of anti-transgender violence. This is a call to reflect on the systemic discrimination that persists and to strengthen our collective commitment to equity, dignity, and safety for all.

An excellent, unsettling read.
Screenshot showing excerpt from an article featured in The Local, written by Nick Hune-Brown. It reads: "Every media era gets the fabulists it deserves. If Stephen Glass, Jayson Blair and the other late 20th century fakers were looking for the prestige and power that came with journalism in that moment, then this generation’s internet scammers are scavenging in the wreckage of a degraded media environment. They’re taking advantage of an ecosystem uniquely susceptible to fraud—where publications with prestigious names publish rickety journalism under their brands, where fact-checkers have been axed and editors are overworked, where technology has made falsifying pitches and entire articles trivially easy, and where decades of devaluing journalism as simply more “content” have blurred the lines so much it can be difficult to remember where they were to begin with."

Hang on, when did reading become so performative?

(I get it, this actually IS performative in the movie 🤣, but Hepburn was a noted bookworm!)
image from the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. Characters Holly and Paul are in a library, sitting at a table. Holly wears dark sunglasses and is reading a book. There are many books strewn across the table. Paul holds a book in his right hand and has a puzzled look on his face. Behind them are shelves of books, a cabinet, with a bust on it, and what looks like a framed map on the wall.

This guy!
I think his blinking is an attempt to send a message.
Image of a man in a blue suit, white shirt, light blue tie. His hands are clasped in front of him. He has a very blank expression on his face, and looks a little... trapped? Disassociated? Awkward. Out of the shot, to his left, Kash Patel is speaking at a lectern. In the video, this man is blinking. A lot.

Stats say I solved Wordle in 1 guess 3 times. For the life of me, I cannot remember what the other was - today's, last year's 'Pious', and 🤷‍♀️ no clue.

I'd love to be getting more in the 2-guess category - that's be fun!

Those panicked #6 guesses suck. LOL! Been a long time since I blanked though

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana or Pearl Jam.

The ones I practically wore out:
Album cover for The Tragically Hip's Road Apples. A darker red background, with a white framed photograph in the centre, showing a speckled horse in a field, with a trailer park and mountains behind. The band name is above the photo, and the album name below. The letters are Scrabble tile-like. Album cover of Soundgarden's Superunknown. Black background, band name in white on the top. Bottom-third has a black and white and grey image of an upside down treeline. this image is kinda grungy. In shades of orange, yellow, and red is a very blurry screaming figure, from the shoulders up, facing right. Album cover for R.E.M.'s Monster. Orange background. Album title in red block letters top-left; band name in blue block letters, top-right. Image is of a large animal head - bear-like. It is in black ink, with lots of negative space where the orange background shows through. The bear has very wide-opened eyes. Album cover of Sinéad O'Connor's 'I do not want what I haven't got.' Black background. Artist's name in gold printed font (with lowercase letters), top-left. Album title across the bottom in matching gold printed font. Photograph of a close-up of O'Connor's face, she is looking to the right. Light shines across her eyes, the upper and lower part of her face are in various states of shadows, from light to dark on her chin and neck.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you

I'm putting a lot of faith in Crab Man here. 🤣
Image of the cast from the TV Series My Name is Earl. The characters are in the restaurant where Crab Man works, and where hey often hang out. From left to right: Randy, Joy, Darnell (aka Crab Man), Earl, and Catalina. Earl and Randy are sitting at a table. Joy and Darnell stand in the middle-back, and Catalina is back-right. Joy is holding a pool cue. Behind them is a pool table, and two pinball machines.
