“I’m going to kill you, Mom.”

Just in time to see the bus fly by, Day 12 is the final #12DoS2025, the absurdist “A Very Mario Lopez Christmas” by Megan Giddings.

In honor of A.C. Slater, Zack Morris, Kelly, Lisa, Jessie, Screech, Belding and all of Bayside High I had a Yuletidal Wave.

The White House taking control of the DOJ’s X account is both unshocking and horrible.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, was somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, beat on, boat against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

If they were right I'd agree
But it's them they know, not me
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
- Cat Stevens

Day 11 of #12DoS2025 is “When You Were Here” by Claire Lombardo. Restless youth, resigned fatherhood and the understanding mother in between.

+The Littlest Rebel cocktail

They’re so bad at this.

“When you require it, though, when there is no other option, the courage will be there to cut through the revulsion, the fear or any other barrier that would normally make us halt, even the feelings of diminishment and malaise that make the modern condition.”

Day 10 of #12DoS2025 was fantastic.

“So you think you got a ghost to be your servant.”

Day 9 of #12DoS2025 is “The Rent-Controlled Ghost” by Lee Connell.

Gentrification is surely scarier than ghosts because, you know, it’s real.

Winter and ghosts always make me think of Dickens. Dickens’ own Smoking Bishop was perfect.

“The whole world can give up on the old ways if they want to but I’m not about to.”

Day 8 of #12DoS2025 is “The Old Ways” by Silas House.

In honor of the former Kentucky Poet Laureate I’m having a winter spiced old fashioned with Kentucky straight bourbon.

“Winter is a selfish, parasitic creature. The cold air seems intent on taking every bit of warmth left in your body.”

Day 7 of the #12DoS2025 is “Beneath the Softness of Snow” by Chanel Sutherland. It’s a sad one.

Anders Erickson’s S’no Problem cocktail was warming on a cold night.

It’s the crime AND the cover-up.

“Say you can’t, even though you know you can - you know what you can do now…”

Day 6 of the #12DoS2025 is Stephanie Dennee’s “How
to Milk a Sheep.”

The cocktail: The Lion & the Lamb

Day 5 of #12DoS2025 is Paola
Peroni’s “Protection.”

“Love is grief: love we have, love we lack, love we give, and love we miss.”

“I want to find out what I’m worth.”

I read this beautiful story about how protection is in self-knowledge not guaranteed safety with a winterized negroni.

Day 4 of #12DoS2025 is Charles Haverty’s “Storm Windows.”

I found the story poignant, very relatable and funny in the way that even sad and hard memories are when they’re shared or familiar.

A Sentimental Gentleman (scotch, benedictine and walnut liqueur) set the right mood.

Day 3 of #12DoS2025 #ssac2025 brings Tyler Barton’s “The Idler,” a sort of Lost in Translation for the Upper Midwest.

I might’ve ordered a Rusty Nail at Skiv’s.

Day 2 of Kevin Wilson’s #12DoS2025 is “Remedies” by Kali Fajardo-Anstine.

Abandonment trauma can certainly feel like it won’t go away, even with the best treatment.

I read this brilliant little story with a Penicillin cocktail as I thought about things that are hard to cure on my birthday night.

“As soon as you take that first step, the whole sky is in your lungs and you’re the one making the world turn under your feet.”

Day 1 of Kevin Wilson’s #12DoS2025 for H+O is “Two-Man Luge: A Life Story” by Claire Battershill, a lovely story of longing and inertia. A Maple Leaf cocktail seemed apt.

We all thought Trump and his goons were robber barons in the 19th Century sense of the phrase, but it turns out it’s more the 13th Century, Great Interregnum, Raubritter sense.

Somehow FIFA, an org known for its corruption, giving Trump, a guy known for his corruption, a made made award for peace, something neither party has any clue about, is a perfect representation of our current postmodern nightmare.
Donald Trump awarded inaugural FIFA Peace Prize by Gianni Infantino
FIFA never announced nominees for the new award and has not said how or by whom the winner was chosen.

Folks, hear me out. I think the Epstein files might be bad for Trump.
