Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!

whatever you do (or don’t) celebrate, I hope your day plays out exactly as you want it to.

Ms. Spouse and I will be spending a quiet day together, which is just the way we like it.

if you can’t be with friends and family, or if you are with your family and they’re driving you fucking crazy, we’ll be your family. today, comments are open to everyone, not just the paid subscribers.

and remember: no matter what you’re doing, you’re having a better Christmas than the broken-inside grievance-baby who is incapable of experiencing joy.

please enjoy this Christmas video by my friend Sandi Bachom.

and now — because so many of you specifically requested it — here’s Piss-Drunk Pete Kegstand to charm us with his own heartwarming rendition of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker Suite.

have a great day, everyone!

here’s your daily reminder that I can be found on Blue Sky at this link.

this is going to be my closing message for the foreseeable future:

practice self-care. do what you need to do to keep sane. if that means you need to disengage with my daily posts for a while, I get it. this community of ours will still be here when you return.

to all the people who have signed on in the days since the election, welcome aboard. settle in as we all try to deal with the shitfuckery that’s ahead of us.

we are all in this together, and we are all here for each other.
