One of the biggest things my dad taught me was how wrong it is to think of family as "my four and no more." If your family is hard for you and you dread holidays as a result, maybe you can spend time with someone who would love kindness this year. Hit me up if you don't see anyone who needs it :)

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

I find it very strange how a legal decision which relates solely to gender recognition certificates – something under 18s definitively cannot have – is being used to justify changes to longstanding policies on including trans kids.

Why must a movie be “good”? Is it not enough to sit somewhere dark and see a beautiful face, blue?

word to the wise: something to *never* buy new is a sound system. you can get second-hand HDMI 5.1 receivers for peanuts and a good set of speakers for slightly more peanuts.
and it sounds fucking amazing fyi.

Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary:
His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

"Pickpocketing is on the increase in the Misty Mountains. We spoke to this long-time resident of unnaturally long life who claims an economic immigrant took his only precious possession and now he can't find work outside of informing for the torturers of Barad-dûr."
