Tired millennial who's been on the internet since ‘96. Hobby hopper, Apple fanboy, and successful introvert. I’m not funny, but the delusion stays. He/him

I’m ready for The Big Fat Quiz of Everything, my annual tradition since forever and one of the peak British pieces of television I can’t get enough of. Just waiting for it to land on the internet…

A very cozy day watching Narnia which I’d argue is basically a Christmas movie with the appropriate levels of magic and wonder is the order of the day. And reminds me I need some biscuits to go with my tea.

I don’t know what the magic mix is in this movie, but Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is so satisfyingly weird and stimulating to the imagination.
A digital fantasy illustration depicting a whimsical blue caterpillar character reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland’s Absolem. The rotund creature sits atop a mushroom in a dreamlike forest setting, smoking from an ornate hookah pipe. The caterpillar has a wrinkled, contemplative face with two curling antennae sprouting from its head. Warm orange and rust-colored foliage frames the background, creating a bokeh effect that contrasts beautifully with the cool teal-blue tones of the character. Purple mushrooms are visible in the lower right corner. The atmospheric lighting creates a mystical, otherworldly ambiance with soft glowing effects around the smoke. The artwork is signed “Kyoha” in the bottom right corner and captures the surreal, philosophical essence of Lewis Carroll’s iconic character.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Still cracking up two weeks later about accidentally calling the period between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day “gooch week” in front of my boss. Family terminology is too automatic sometimes. Thankfully he died laughing while also trying to choke out “you can’t SAY that!”

Happy Yule, happy solstice, happy longest night, Merry Gēol. Yule has always felt more significant to me than its oppose, Midsummer, but part of that may just be the stark absence of sunlit hours and the absolute toe-curling joy that a return to longer days brings.
A witchy altar arrangement featuring multiple lit candles casting warm light across a dark circular slate base. The centerpiece includes a decorative singing bowl with engraved patterns, rose quartz crystals, a metal pentacle disc, and a smoky quartz point on a stand. A slender taper candle burns in a black holder while a thicker pillar candle with a moon phase design glows behind it. Burning incense creates a thin wisp of smoke rising from the arrangement. In the background, a bronze or copper-toned statue of what appears to be Pan holds objects in his hands, flanked by vibrant red poinsettia flowers and pieces of natural wood or driftwood. Tarot cards are visible at the bottom edge of the frame. White horizontal blinds provide a neutral backdrop, while the overall composition suggests an active ritual or devotional space with holiday seasonal touches.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Listening to an entire pack of coyotes, parents and pups, howling tonight felt very special and also deliciously creepy. I forget my little green belt in the middle of my city is packed with deer and coyotes sometimes.

Happy Mōdraniht. A perfect night to rest before the solstice and appreciate the mothers who invested love and energy into you whether or not they birthed you. We thrive because of our communities and chosen families.

Happy Christmas to me. I finally got my hands on @yoshiyoshitani.bsky.social’s Fablemaker deck and I’m doing the kicking my feet with excitement thing.
A boxed oracle deck titled “The Fablemaker’s Deck of Many Things: An Oracle for Risk and Reward” by artist Yoshi Yoshitani, displayed on a dark wooden surface. The box features dramatic artwork of a figure in flowing red and gold robes with outstretched arms against a swirling cosmic background of purples, blues, and pinks. The packaging has an ornate dark border with decorative corner elements and gold text. In the background, soft-focus Christmas lights twinkle on what appears to be a Christmas tree, and bright red poinsettia flowers in a decorative vase add holiday ambiance to the scene. The setting suggests this deck was received as a holiday gift.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I'm so close to hitting my 12 book goal for 2025 that I'm going to make it, I think. I'm probably cheating with one of them, but I'm letting it slide. I'm already jumping into @thestorygraph.com challenges for 2026.

I just got my new major arcana tarot deck done by some of my favorite LGBTQ kink community artists. Holy shit they’re so well done! All the applause for @mockingbirdleather.co.uk for putting this project together. I love it!
A tarot or oracle card reading spread laid out on an orange desk pad at a workspace. The cards appear to be from a modern, illustrated deck with distinctive artwork. In the foreground, “The Devil” card (XV) is prominently displayed showing a figure in dark tones with red accents. Behind it are several other cards including one with a pink background and “The Emperor” (IV) visible in the spread. The cards feature contemporary artistic interpretations of traditional tarot imagery. The workspace includes a white mechanical keyboard with a distinctive red “ENTER” key and yellow spacebar, a black deck box, a black leather item (possibly a wallet or cardholder), and various other desk accessories. The scene suggests an active tarot reading or practice session at a personal workstation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The duality of December in Texas is feeling like it’s finally Fall but also there are winter holiday decorations literally everywhere.
A canopy of autumn trees photographed from below, showing a dense mixture of foliage transitioning from deep green to vibrant golden yellow and orange. Warm evening or late afternoon light filters through the leaves, creating a glowing effect in the center where the autumn colors are most concentrated. Dark branches create intricate patterns throughout, and patches of pale sky peek through the gaps in the foliage. The image captures the peak of fall colors in a natural, woodland setting. A festive Christmas garland draped over what appears to be white horizontal blinds or shutters. The evergreen garland is decorated with various ornaments including a large green ball ornament, a white fuzzy ball, metallic red and silver tinsel, and vintage-style glass ornaments including a red and white candy cane and what appears to be a miniature cupcake or basket ornament. The decorations have a traditional, slightly retro aesthetic with the red, green, white, and silver color scheme. The background shows a beige wall and hints of additional holiday decorations in the blurred background.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

If you're #creative you're probably already bored to tears by AI, and you're probably deeply concerned by how it's taking over.

Things that are gonna be increasingly important:

• Behind the scenes updates
• Showing your process
• Authenticity above all else
• Being able to take things offline

I hate winter in Austin, but give me a snowy day in NY and I’m happy. Great kickoff to the Yule season.

Coming off the cozy winter vacation up north and I’m not ready to do the normal thing yet. NY is so beautiful.
A moody street scene on a foggy winter morning showing silhouettes of bare trees and utility poles with power lines against a gray sky. A subtle peachy-orange glow from the sunrise breaks through the heavy cloud cover. The wet pavement reflects the dim light, and a parked vehicle is barely visible through the mist. The scene has an atmospheric, almost eerie quality typical of early morning fog. Four fresh eggs arranged in a line on a colorful vintage-style fabric with floral patterns in teal, yellow, purple, and cream. The eggs display a beautiful natural color gradient from front to back: pale blue-green (likely from an Araucana or Easter Egger chicken), light sage green with speckles, golden tan with small spots, and deeper brown. The quilted fabric beneath features intricate botanical designs. A cozy kitchen counter scene captured in warm, golden lighting. In the foreground, a bright orange/red coffee mug sits prominently. Behind it, a glass bowl contains what appears to be fruit, and various kitchen items are scattered across the counter including what looks like a supplement or vitamin bottle. A window with white cafe curtains with dark embroidered trim lets in natural light, creating a homey atmosphere. The scene has a lived-in, comfortable quality with everyday items casually arranged.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ A cozy, maximalist corner of a room featuring a deep olive green tufted armchair adorned with patterned throw pillows - one in navy blue and another with red and white geometric designs. A dramatic black arc floor lamp with dual adjustable heads curves over the chair, providing ambient lighting. The room has rich, dark green walls contrasted with cream-colored trim around elegant windows dressed in lace curtains with peachy-gold ruffled valances. An ornate gilt mirror hangs on the left wall, while framed artwork decorates the tan accent wall. The space is anchored by a vintage Persian-style rug in coral and cream tones, with a tan dog bed visible on the floor. A decorative wooden shelf or stand appears on the right side. The overall aesthetic blends Victorian elegance with bohemian comfort, creating an intimate reading nook bathed in warm, ambient lighting.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Looking at this time last year, it’s wild to see how much I’ve reduced my presence on social media platforms. Some of the retraction was good and permanent, others felt like too much and I wound up missing the connection with friends. Getting almost completely off Google has been a wild improvement

11:11 day!
A tarot card spread laid out on a dark wooden coffee table, displaying multiple cards from what appears to be the Rider-Waite-Smith deck. The cards show various imagery including The Sun card with its distinctive radiating sun face, several cards from the suit of Pentacles showing figures with golden coins, swords cards with their characteristic blue backgrounds, and cups cards. The cards are arranged in what looks like a traditional spread pattern. In the background, there are stacks of books, a set of wooden coasters in a metal holder, and what appears to be art supplies or storage boxes. The scene is lit with natural light casting shadows across the table surface, creating an intimate atmosphere typical of a tarot reading session.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Driving with ADHD is wild.

One minute you’re raging at someone speeding and putting everyone in danger.

Two minutes later you’re vibing to your music and wondering what it was you were angry about just now.
An illustration of a frustrated driver in a red car viewed from the front. The driver appears angry with stress marks radiating from their head, and a speech bubble containing symbols (”%&#@!”) representing cursing or frustration. The person is wearing green clothing and gripping the steering wheel. A cheerful illustration showing a person with black hair driving a red car, viewed from the side. The driver is smiling and wearing an orange shirt, with their arm resting casually on the car door. The car is drawn in a simple, flat design style with black wheels and gray hubcaps.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Someone else need a little solar charge.
A bright orange Gulf Fritillary butterfly rests on the ground among dried leaves, grass, and debris. The butterfly displays distinctive black striping and spots on its vibrant orange wings. A black circular object (possibly a token or marker) with a logo is visible in the lower right corner of the image. The scene appears to be captured in natural outdoor lighting, showing the contrast between the butterfly’s vivid coloring and the muted brown and green tones of the ground cover.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Some rando just poked me in the shoulder blade to get my attention and my brain logged it as a muscle spasm.

Also, don’t poke someone if you’re trying to get their attention. It’s weird. A couple light taps on the shoulder might be okay.

Finished a book, started another. And I can’t put this one down. Something clicked and my AuDHD is fascinated now.
A fantasy book titled “Breeding Devils in Chaos: The United Rite” by Sven Davisson rests on a vibrant orange desk pad. The cover features dramatic artwork showing a figure surrounded by magical blue and purple energy with mystical elements. The desk setup includes a white mechanical keyboard with a distinctive red “ENTER” key, a white computer mouse, a brown leather coaster, and what appears to be an iced coffee drink. The book is positioned on a wooden desk surface, creating an aesthetically pleasing workspace arrangement with warm lighting highlighting the scene.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
