Today's queer indie author review: Alexandra Caluen's Mistletango:
"Angelo's a dancer/dance teacher between jobs and has gifted himself with a holiday in Buenos Aries, who ends up accidentally sharing a room with Ramon... A very sweet and beautifully written whirlwind romance.
Our dogs got toys for Christmas, as usual. Leo wasted no time removing the squeaker from his. But I was quite surprised to find a message hidden inside the toy. #Christmas#dogsOfMastodon
I bought too much durian from an overly aggressive roadside uncle.
Me: Daaaaad we have to give away these quickly cos how to finish everything tonight?? Dad takes a look then: "No problem, I can do it."
😅
FYI I literally ended up with 16 biji. For a family of four. I get that we love durian, but there are waistlines to consider lol
A widely used #Christmas time special of the past in Europe was to buy a paper crown, dear #histodons and #paperhistory and experts.
A paper crown? Yes, a printed paper crown. And the tiny street seller highlighted in this painting from Joos de Momper the Younger, a Flemish painter active in Antwerp between the late 16th century and the early 17th century, is selling them.
Paper crowns were seasonal extras of the printing industries, dear #bookhistory. Follow this thread along for more.
The VoxBox Classical Christmas Collection is unreal... Over 9 hours of music, including some really cheesy recordings of the standards... But getting as deep as the Christmas Oratorio - yes the whole thing.
