That’s the 12 days: Dec 25 - Jan 6.

Jan 6 is All King’s Day, when the 3 Kings visited Jesus…aka Epiphany…aka the first day of Mardi Gras season.

I’m not religious, I’m just from a culture where Mardi Gras is very important. And imo, we should all celebrate a day for no other reason than to eat, drink, and be merry :)

Edit: Holy shit, just realized I’m replying to the wrong comment lol

Guys, we need a ballroom. Fuck your food or whatever. Find some cake.

That’s impressive as hell! You should be proud!

I’m very sorry for your loss, but that’s a really great accomplishment. I’m glad you 2 were able to find each other and that you were able to learn from your experience with him. All the best <3

That means a lot, it really does. Thank you.

I’m going to work, but I’m not getting paid. Thank you for thinking of us. <3

I’m guessing he doesn’t know that New Orleans does this as well? In his home state? Nobody tell him.

I wish we could use a “regular” app like Waze and start reporting “icy weather” as code for ICE. I mean we can, but idk how to make it a thing. Kinda how they were using “winter boots” as code on TikTok for ICE to get around the censors.

Is he becoming self aware for the first time?

fwiw when we got a puppy, the vet instructed us to do just this with our cat who had already been with us for a few years. Worked like a charm.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

It was a mini-series based on a novel by Ken Follett, but ‘The Pillars of the Earth’. It starred Eddie Redmayne.

¯\(ツ)/¯

Movie - Episode IV/A New Hope (if I had to pick a 2nd/3rd, in no order: Episode 3 and Rogue One)

Show - Andor

Novel - oooh this is tough! The Rogue One prequel ‘Catalyst’ was fantastic, as was the Rogie One novel. ‘Lost Stars’ was another good one set in the OT timeline. There’s also Rebel Rising, about Jyn Erso’s time with Saw Guerra, and Leia: Princess of Alderaan about teenage Leia a few years before ANH showing how she gets involved with the Rebellion. And of course the OG Zahn Trilogy plus the new ones that have come out.

I did read Alphabet Squadron and thought they were good.

Game: Old school Rebellion (PC), the Jedi Knight series, of course KOTOR, Galaxies MMORPG, Galactic Battlegrounds, and I’m getting into Battlefront 2 again. I’m about to start Outlaws so we’ll see how that goes. Oh and Jedi Fallen Order, but I haven’t played Survivor yet.

Star Wars and history - in particular how Lucas had aspects of Nazi Germany and the Vietnam War because he was an anthropology student and knew that empires most often fell from within.

So yeah I’m still on a big Andor high right now, waiting for some novels and other books to drop after that.

Other books I can recommend:

Star Wars and History

The History and Politics of Star Wars - Death Stars and Democracy (the author is a World War I historian)

Star Wars: Battles that Changed the Galaxy

Star Wars Propaganda: A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy

Oh this is interesting! Good to know, I had no idea. Thank you!

If this helps someone - I’m a woman who is not pregnant and under 65 with no serious health issues.

I made an appointment with CVS last week using their app and got the newest Covid booster yesterday. The pharmacist said they got a shipment in on Saturday.

My insurance covered it like all the ones before. Going forward who knows what will happen, but that’s my recent experience.

real economy

Because the dude has no concept of what reality/truth is. We just all have to live in his fucked up head canon of how the world works.

Definitely gives off some incel vibes, I can see it.

Tell us what it’s like being a “fake straight”, Tucker.
