I love Valentine's Day, and NOT because I view it as celebrating being in romantic relationships. Rather, I love it because I view it as celebrating love in general, and sexuality, and the pleasure associated with those things, and DAMN does western civilization need more of all that. If you look at it that way, I hope you can drop the negative, cynical associations, and smile and daydream and share chocolate or candy hearts or flowers and just basically have a pleasant day.

March 15 is the day people leave Twitter.

The abandonment of Twitter in the Musk era has, for now, been inconsistent and chaotic, with people leaving at different times and for different reasons.

An organized effort to promote a "Leave Twitter" day, when everyone still reluctantly there logs off for the last time, with enough advance to line up alternate sites, should help get people out.

Thus, March 15. The Ides of Musk. Spread the word.

If a church has enough money to run ads during the Super Bowl?

They have enough to pay taxes.

Have you ever actually tried saying aloud, softly, slowly, โ€œHold me closer, tiny dancerโ€? Because it comes off creepy when I try it.

I love when I learn a new word through reading - or better yet, through editing, as with this one, and isn't it a beauty?

coquelicot: French for "poppy"; also used in English as a color name, the shade of red of wild corn poppies. In French it derives from "cry of the rooster," and is pronounced "KOHK-li-koh" - the sound a rooster makes. It was so named because the flower and the rooster's comb are a similar color.

Me: Ahh, spoken like someone who wants me to name a backstabbing jackass character after them in my next novel.
