“In a world where Google can bring you back 100,000 answers, a librarian can bring you back the right one.” Neil Gaiman

Too bad Neil turned out to be yet another shit human, there are just so many of us that are.

But I like the quote. And I do love libraries. At one time, I had library cards from three different towns, and used them regularly. Check yours out. (Little joke there). They have more than just books you can read for free, too.

“If by a ‘Liberal’ they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties–someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a ‘Liberal,’ then I’m proud to say I’m a ‘Liberal.’”

— John F. Kennedy

And irritated. This irritates me. In my entire life, I have never, ever heard anyone refer to the week between Christmas and New Year’s as ‘Dead Week’.

“The days between Christmas and New Years are blissfully blurry. After yuletide stress dissipates, and before resolution anxiety seizes us, we find ourselves in a prolonged pajama-clad fugue. The Brits call it “Boxing Week,” while Americans call it “Dead Week.” In Norway, the land of my ancestors, it’s known as Romjul, a quiet, unstructured interlude for staying home with friends and family, free from outside demands.”

Happy Holidays. Season’s Greetings. Whatever floats your boat. Hope you are all having a fantastic day.

From my neighbor’s door

A present from a friend came in this.

Downtown where I live.

From a few years ago. Before I got Miss G, aka El Destructo.

Love this.

And this. Do not know where this is, but it’s gorgeous.

“….that regardless of all material or emotional trappings, the purpose of being human is to support one another. The purpose of being human is the same thing as the purpose of reaching out to God: to be a good person, and to do the right thing.”

It does seem like a lot of us are unaware of this, or don’t care. IDEK. Great movie, by the way.

All the shit, and this just made my day. I needed this. It makes me happy.

in humanity more and more every day. It is killing me, I swear. Anyway, there have been a lot of videos recently of people cutting into a cake that looks exactly like a cat, in front of their cat, and the cats are absolutely terrorized. For humor and clicks. Terrorizing your pet. So here’s a clip from a compilation that involves dogs as well. Made me happy, because I am apparently a very vindictive person. It’s on Pinterest under ‘This cake prank is so funny’. NOT funny at all. Humans are just so cruel.

Obviously, I did not know the man or his wife, but everything I’ve read speaks to them being good human beings. I just keep thinking how horrible it must be to be murdered by your own child. You spend your life loving and caring for them, and then this happens. It is so very, very sad. I have know people in my own life who were injured and terrorized by their child. It is just so heart-breaking.

Was reading this:

And came across this:

“After the Grinch steals everything from their homes, he stands atop a mountain so that he can hear, and rejoice in, their despair—so he can experience and enjoy a community weakened and reeling from his cruel intervention.”

Does this sound like any particular group we know today? Need I say who?

I needed this one today.

Here’s why:

And here:

This one. Having been married, I have to agree:

I think this is AI, but still…

Reading a post on Tumblr that talks about transfem blogs being banned. I was thinking about things yesterday, not transfem blogs, but life in general, and it seems to me that everything is ruined or in the process of being ruined. Every bit of progress we have made, every good thing that has been implemented, it is all being ruined by the greedy elite fuckers that are Trump and his cronies. You know who they are. Even people who do not support the orange Nazi give in to him to stop losing profit. Because greed is everything in this country, and I think that religion is spreading throughout the world. Sad Jean is just overwhelmed by all this.

And a bit more about the boycott.

And finally, I cannot believe the medium fries/McChicken thing. Is there a potato shortage I am unaware of? Is this post for real?

From NPR Up First newsletter, in response to the news that the CDC has changed their stance on vaccines and autism. Get it out there. Lies, lies, lies. This administration is NOT your friend.

CDC scientists say they didn’t change their website, and the Department of Health and Human Services wouldn’t divulge who ordered the adjustment to the wording, NPR’s Pien Huang tells Up First. There is no new scientific evidence to support the claim of a link between vaccines and autism. Huang notes that it is interesting that a headline on the CDC’s webpage still states that vaccines don’t cause autism. However, there is an asterisk next to this statement, which explains that the agency will not remove it due to an agreement with Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who provided a key confirmation vote for Kennedy to become the HHS secretary.

They revel in it, right up until it affects them personally. No compassion, no sympathy, and never, never any forgiveness for these cretins.

I need it.

Hope it helped a little bit.
