Me: can you do me a favour
Me: on Christmas Eve, can you say "Merry Christmas" to me
Me: I have always wanted someone named Steve to say "Merry Christmas" to me on Christmas Eve so I can say "it's Christmas Eve, not Christmas, Steve"
Steve: how could I say no to that??
Me: thank you so much](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wso4shuiogfpyoi6qkeadsyu/bafkreie5ifsd2ec5g3sdo755t2xfheawpvp4awoat4b4k2gztppkkk44oy@jpeg)

Call me Humpty Dumpty 'cause I had a great fall. November was a good month, and full of big important moments. Lots of nice walks and drives, a trip home to see lots of family and friends, being a tourist in my own city, and then a big house move into a new place I'm really excited to call home.

I'm moving to a new flat at the end of this month. That will be my 16th move since I moved out of my parent's house at 18. That's an average of 1.125 years per home.

That was August. Most importantly, moving out of one place and into another, this time on my own. My life changed a lot this month, and it was hard sometimes, but I'm staying positive and ready for autumn, even if I don't want summer to end.

Last night I dreamt I was sat next to @hankgreen.bsky.social and I asked him a very important question:
Which extinct animal do you believe you could have the most fair fight with? Like a fight with a perfect 50:50 chance of winning or losing.

I honestly don't have any particuar opinions on Sabrina Carpenter and I also don't understand what the controversy is over this cover but this was the first thing I thought about when I saw it so I had to make it.

I think you'll find, Thom, that while you and the band have been historically outspoken on many topics, you've been noticeably quiet on one of the biggest humanitarian crises of the last few decades. It's no surprise fans have been concerned and seeking clarification.
