Ah, the holidays

Time for the annual DOI email outlining holiday ethics, where we gather ‘round the computer & remind ourselves of all the ways us little folks comply w/ $10 restrictions while folks waaaaaay above us brazenly flout the huge lobbying, dining, & gift impartiality protection laws

Writing a book on advertisements sheets of lay scribes operating writing businesses in late medieval cities. They took momentum away from Church. BUT. Now I suddenly have a sheet tied to a monastic house. Pardon? Those folks shouldn’t be into commerce! This needs serious creativity. Coffee time.

Though we can’t ignore them- we don’t have to like, support, respect or anything-else them. We can work to supplant the fringiest of them … but I’ll always loathe them for what they’ve done to this country. Boo-effin’-hoo, boys. My empathy gauge is at zero these days. https://www.salon.com/2024/12/14/aggrieved-men-are-a-to-democracy--history-tells-us-we-cant-ignore-them/

Be kind to the people around you.
Even when one makes a mistake, admonish them, make sure they take the lesson of what they did wrong to hurt, and help them grow from it
assuming it's someone you care about at least.

I'm so tired of the overwhelming animosity people have towards one another.
