Tiny wish for the #NewYear: That y'all include the actual name/title/whatever of the media you link to in your posts, rather than just dropping a YT/Spotify etc URL and counting on a preview card telling ppl wtf it is.

"Great song! [url]" tells me *nothing* if the link doesn't work. Added benefit: text (including alt text) can be found by search on many instances.

Spell out your recs! Namedrop your favs all over the place! Assume things will be pulled offline without notice!

Happy New Year! ╰(*°▽°*)╯

I hope 2024 went well for y'all, and I'm glad it's over if it didn't.

Fingers forever crossed for 2025 to be as good-willed for the masses as possible.

Happy New Years Eve! 2024 ushered huge changes for our family, mostly good, and 2025 promises even bigger changes.

Reflections on that plus a sneak peek of the Timeless Keeper Saga Book 3 here:

You know how your teeth feel fuzzy if you skip brushing them for a day and it’s just a super uncomfortable feeling you hate? That’s what it feels like having Christmas decorations still up in my house after the new year while my wife refuses even consider taking them down for another week.

A year ago my habit tracker had:
- study Swahili
- Spanish grammar quizzing
- read something in Spanish
- watch/listen to something in Spanish
- write something in Spanish
- review Spanish flashcards

Here’s what I put down for this month:
- Italian grammar quizzing
- read something in Italian
- eat fruit
- read from my TBR

So I’m eating a clementine and continuing reading a novel I started reading in December 2021.

It's a new day, a new year...
So I'm going to pull tarot for an hour ish.
Comment on this with a single word, and I'll pull a card for you from the delightfully queer Numinous Tarot
