James Merril’s poem “Christmas Tree,” written while he was dying of AIDS. 1995.

JAMES MERRILL
CHRISTMAS TREE
From loes torn hamin Had been fed, looked after, kept still, Meant, I knew— of course I knew - That it would be only a matter of weeks,
That there was nothing more to do. Warmly they took me in, made much of me,
The point from the start was to keep my spirits up. I could assent to that. For honestly, It did help to be wound in jewels, to send Their colors flashing forth from vents in the deep
Fragrant sables that cloaked me head to foot. Over me then they wove a spell of shining —
Purple and silver chains, eavesdripping tinsel, Amulets, milagros: software of silver,
A heart, a little girl, a Model T Two staring eyes. Then angels, trumpets, BUD and BEA (The children's names) in clownlike capitals, Somewhere a music box whose tiny song
Played and replayed I ended before long By loving. And in shadow behind me, a primitive IV To keep the show going. Yes, yes, what lay ahead
Was clear: the stripping, the cold street, my chemicals
Plowed back into the Earth for lives to come — No doubt a blessing, a harvest, but one that doesn't bear,
Now or ever, dwelling upon. To have grown so thin.
Needles and bone. The little boy's hands meeting
About my spine. The mother's voice: Holding up wonderfully!
No dread. No bitterness. The end beginning. Today's
Dusk room aglow For the last time
With candlelight. Faces love-lit,
Gifts underfoot.
Still to be so poised, so
Receptive. Still to recall, to praise.

She's a very sweet, well-behaved, and friendly dog who is very excited to see other dogs! Unfortunately, she does NOT have a microchip or collar with contact info! We took her to Northeast Veterinary Hospital so she can be looked after.

Any local Seattle folks please help spread the word!

Hi hello I have a LOST DOG! We found this young lady skittering across the street at around 11:00am today (12/29/25) near 6613 East Green Lake Way N between N 66th St and Sunnyside Ave N in Seattle! (Next to Green Lake Park)

I am unwell. With Heated Rivalry I truly went "haha I should watch the spicy gay hockey show" to crying over the finale to feeling this weird grieving, depressed emotional hangover today that I can't quite explain??? TV USUALLY DOESN'T DO THIS TO ME, pretty much ever. Science plz explain

God damn, Heated Rivalry really went from “horny gay show” to “this is quite touching” to “actual highest rated episode of tv history” to “tv series finale that made Chris cry the most ever” 🥹🥲🥹🥲🥹

I really should've taken time off through New Years, even though that isn't the culture at my workplace at all. Have something like the Sunday Scaries today, but a more depressing version.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

Omg. Anyone else getting hit by the t-shirt bot followers?? Pfp is always a pic of a young woman, and their top post is always a repost advertising a "Fuck ICE" shirt. Driving me crazy.

Also my I was gifted this puzzle by my parents. Apollo isn't so sure about it.

So glad I drove home from the family Christmas brunch when I did because I caught Brian Foss' sci-fi/space-themed Christmas set on KEXP. I had NO IDEA there were so many Christmas songs with that theme and kept expecting him to run out and change theme/topic, but he never did.
