Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means [staff profile] karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.

This is another old meme that I find particularly interesting because it's a lot harder than it can seem at first. I mean, I could rattle off dozens of characters I love off the top of my head, but listing 3 that are similar to me in some ways is not so straightforward. At least to me.

Anyway, here's my current choice (and it's interesting to see how different they are from the ones I chose the first time around, 10 years ago - Hermione Granger, Elinor Dash wood from Sense&Sensibility and Jaye from Wonderfalls):

  1. Margaret Hale from North&South. A strong-willed woman who's really not a good judge of character. Generous but proud, her family is very important to her. She's also generous and compassionate and I think I am too.

  2. Tami Taylor from Friday Night Lights. Isn't it a bit sad that I could come up only with her as an example of a grown woman who is a wife and mother but is not only defined by these two roles? She also had a career in education (she was a guidance counselor and then a vice principal or something along those lines). Of course, I wish I was half as cool as her.

  3. Mirabel from Encanto. This is because quite a few of my students said I remind them of her. Lol. I think they meant physically what with my short curly hair and the glasses, buy I must say the bubbly personality, the tendency to people-pleasing and her love for her family are something else we have in common.

Which characters do you think are similar to you in some ways and why?
