"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I saw an all-feline Nativity somewhere last week, but even my agnostic self rejected it as something of a bridge too far. But I did say "aw!" though, at the risk of being a single-lady cliche.(Also, I'm not feeling like "fa-la-laing,' right now! This year has...kind of been a bastard...I've had worse, but maybe I need a moment.(or is that people giving the old year the bum's rush, like flicking the lights in restaurants...or are the weird elfin people just such cash cows, the man just hopes we go along...what's that about?) And I'm not on the Grinch spectrum with my mother, but it's hard to swing into that when the AC comes on sometimes and we haven't made a Turkey Day list yet.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I saw an all-feline Nativity somewhere last week, but even my agnostic self rejected it as something of a bridge too far. But I did say "aw!" though, at the risk of being a single-lady cliche.

I love pictures of weird Nativity sets!

Also, I'm not feeling like "fa-la-laing,' right now!

I can't even think about the holidays. My brain has no room for them. (Although I was at Trader Joe's today and they already have their oat nog back, so of course I bought some.)

Thrive to spite them

Oh and so I haven't really mentioned this to anyone . Well Matthew knows but no one else. Walmart covers degrees of certain kinds. It used to be much more broad but they removed a lot of certificates and degrees and I actually can't see all the offerings because it's been so long since I've attempted college I have to do the college prep stuff first.

And I have done that. Very slowly. I'm still at the very beginning where it's just introducing concepts of a syllabus, how to register for classes etc. And I don't know if I'll want to study any of the actual offerings but you know I keep thinking it might be nice to get a degree of some kind just to do it.

Here's something I definitely would have gotten for Jacqueline: [link]

When I clicked the link my eyes immediately zoomed to the two-headed cat with wings and crown, and I wondered if it was an illustration of the Solomonic demons from the Ars Goetia.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Nice, askye! Explore like the wind! Or like a hedgehog. Or whatever. Enjoy the whole learning stuff thing is what I'm saying

I'm just coming to grips with needing to figure out Thanksgiving. Whole Foods does not appear to have the vegan pumpkin pie my mom likes so I don't know what we're gonna do.

Somebody made a Stringer Bell Mamdani meme...for a second, I had a prince-with-a-tiny-slipper moment. But nothing's really like that, is it?

Erika for some reason when I read Stringer Bell it was Omar that popped into my head and the. "Mamdani's coming".
