The reason I finally took the time to install the latest version of Davinci Resolve on my computer (20.3.1 iirc) was because of Tim Curry's 'SPACE' line. Gif compatibility was introduced in 18.5 and I was still on 18 (from 2022, I believe)... Thanks Tim!
a man in a suit and tie with the words i 'm going to the one place below him
Alt: Tim Curry facing the viewer in a vaguely militaristic-looking suit. He says 'I'm going to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism... SPACE'. It is evident that he is trying to hold in a laugh before he says 'SPACE'.
the gif itself is low resolution and blurry.

All presents were wrapped, but only gifts from parents were labeled. We each received a little gift in our stocking and the paper it was wrapped in indicated which Santa presents were ours. So Santa’s handwriting never looked a lot like Mom’s…

I’ve been away for a few weeks, mainly because I’ve been so busy it was all I could do to put one foot in front of the other. Here’s a thread of (some) of the things I’ve been up to lately!

Overheard another vendor at the market I was at yesterday describe Zyns as gentrified chew, and I think that’s Correct.

Apparently all I needed to get my writing mojo back was to pop onto bluesky and see what other writers were talking about. The internet can be good sometimes, I guess.

I haven't forgotten this evil shit from UPMC, and just finished the application to switch health care providers in 2026.
'There isn’t much point in living:' Trans youth struggle to find alternatives after UPMC ends gender-affirming care
After UPMC announced its decision to end gender-affirming care for those under 19, everything changed for 15-year-old Juno and her family.

Getting the stink-eye from an (ostensibly) cis man who also has long curly brown hair and a bit of a beard is a special kind of ironic. Sir, you're basically me in 20 years

I see all these conversations happening telling people not to consume new holiday decor every year and am slightly perplexed because I thought a significant charm of the holidays is pulling out the same old decor that's been a part of your Christmas for 42 years.

I was so frustrated that I had to go outside about it. Not looking forward to untangling the mess.
Logged into QuickBooks today and discovered that it doesn’t have all of my recent sales listed, and what it does have listed are all listed as Invoices for some unholy reason that probably starts with a and ends in i.

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:
"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."
No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

You know how DVDs used to come with commentary that you could listen to while the movie played? Well, I want to do that with my short stories. Like annotate them to point out little details I pulled from real life, or what inspired stories…

Many consider Halloween 'queer Christmas'. Connection between Halloween & the Queer are complex. In the 50s & 60s anti-cross-dressing laws were not enforceable on Halloween. It's also a holiday that embraces upheaval of normalcy & the social order, which is entwined with Queer identity. #QHM25
