Public Service Announcement… When you make your last name plural for your Christmas cards just add an “s” (Example: The Smiths) Unless your last name ends in s, z, ch, sh, or x then it’s “es” (Example: The Birches) Apostrophes show possession (Example: Bob’s present)

Hey you guys!!! the-goatpath.com/shop/2025-cale…

Actual email I sent Bella’s pre-school teacher at 7:30 this morning: Diana is on a work trip. Bella is wearing a dress that is too big. She insisted and because I’m on day 4 of solo parenting, she has broken my will to resist her.

It's very easy to dress in black tie and the holiday season is the perfect time to do so. You can wear black tie to the opera (e.g., opening night for Nutcracker) or a New Year's Eve party. All you need to do is avoid a few simple mistakes. 🧵

wait, so “delay, deny, depose” is a criminal threat if a civilian says it to a corporation but if a corporation uses it as an actual policy that kills people then it’s fine?

Old Fox's Advent Calendar. The Sixteenth Window. Wrapped up warmly in a newly-knitted jumper (cloud-grey) and a long scarf (holly-red), both early Christmas presents from Bear's Sisters, Peter raced down the hill from the hamlet to the village on his bicycle. He was going to see

I’ve never met a MAGA with this mindset

Old Fox's Advent Calendar. The Twenty-first Window. Midwinter morning & Old Fox had vanished into the freezing fog, gone to the high furzed hills, where the hawks circle and call, gone to see the King all of Gold, gone to the stony place where few can follow and return, enfolded

Here I am, still processing 2019, and I find 2025 milk in the grocery store today.

Let me tell a story. Went to COSTCO today, very crowded and got in and out quickly, why? Because COSTCO hires humans to work. When I left COSTCO car did not start. Called AAA, where I’ve been a customer for 25 years. Could not get a human and their AP didn’t work. (1)

Two people I never want to cross on this h*ll site: derek guy @NC5PhilWilliams is now @PhilNvestigates Also two of my favorite follows, tbh

Old Fox's Advent Calendar. The Twenty-second Window. There seemed to be teas and parties and soirées and carol concerts every night in the village in the week before Christmas. That Sunday afternoon, it was the turn of the Vicarage. The Reverend Lion stood at the polished black

A new Beltie calf at Arncliffe, all fit and healthy, as the sun breaks through the murk.

Enjoying the first hours of January. Because as the saying goes: 30 days hath September, April, June, and November. All the rest have 31, except February which has 28 and in leap year, 29. And January, which has 237, all of them cold, dark, damp, and, inexplicably, all Mondays.

This is hilarious, if you know you know who these women are.

Literally crying in the Target parking lot right now. 🧵 I was struggling with unloading my toddler, my bags and wrangling an unruly cart (seriously — why do some lack power-steering?) A fire truck from Redondo Beach (E61) had just parked nearby and four firefighters got out.
