@BillyBones I've always wished that Christmas still began on Christmas rather than ending. So, this year, I'm having a party on Jan 6. I always leave the tree up.

@TXPamInOH Yes! The thing abou the Blue Bird is that only well-known people get a reaction. It is difficult to be "seen" unless you are important.

To everyone sitting at home alone, by chance or choice, on this festive night for many: my warmest wishes and brightest blessings.

Sometines we can't be where we want to be or who we want to be with. We're all still worthy and loved.

🎄Pass it on 🎄

@LindaTeppler Wow! I have never made it this way! I layer: cubed pound cake sprinkled with orange liquore, berries, cream cheese whipped with sour cream. Whipped cream on top -- or not.

@NorthWestBird I hate clutter. The difference for me is that I am very messy, my husband is very messy, and I don't love my clutter.

@The_USA_Singers There are so few Republicans opposing "trumpism" that supporting any Republican is supporting the insurrection and the slow rolling coup.

@TXPamInOH Haven't they always done that? I does make me feel invisible, though!

I worked with Radio Antilles in Montserrat for 2 years, and was introduced to the Christmas tradition of "The Jumbie Table"

(Jumbie and duppy are two of the prevalent names for ghosts)

On Christmas Eve, a table laden with samples of all Christmas goodies -- black cake, sorrel, ham, baked pork, rum, ginger beer, souse etc--- is set up and left for the spirits of the dear departed.

Whatever is not used by the jumbies, is promptly consumed by the living on Christmas day😀

@TheNewsOwl From the beginning, we got advice from friends/family in health care & public health

Follow & get advice from Dr. Eric Ding on Twitter, Facebook, etc.

@MilaPhoenix We don't have a problem with porch pirates ...
But...
I have wondered if leaving out boxes filled with messy food garbage or poop; covered in something sticky / messy would work.
If... it was the same pirates each time!?!

I hope the person who stole the $12 pack of batteries off my doorstep last night enjoys their batteries. No doubt they thought it was something they could sell. I live in low income apartments for a reason. I can’t afford the shit you thought you stole.

"I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls."— Anaïs Nin

@Animeraider It is hard to believe these facts were not known in advance. IMNHE, ordinary politically active folks do a lot of oppo research themselves.

George Santos, elected to Congress in a contested district in New York, ran and won as the openly gay son of immigrants, a “seasoned Wall Street financier and investor,” the founder of an animal rescue nonprofit, the descendent of Jews who fled the Holocaust, the wealthy owner of 13 properties and of a company that paid him a $750,000 salary.

Except the only part of this that appears to be true is "Republican".
