#DecRecs Day 1 - Let's start easy with some QTBIPOC books I enjoyed this year:

All This Could Be Different by Sarah Thankam Mathews - realistic fiction about a young Indian lesbian starting a suspicious consulting job and just trying to get over her shitty self while navigating family and friendship
Gods of Want by K-Ming Chang - excellent series of Taiwanese diasporic short stories full of intergenerational angst and ghosts that haunt us, be it from the margins or right up in our faces
Roar of the Lambs by Jamison Shea - yet another excellent YA novel starring a duo intertwined by events set forth in their families decades before, a Black seer who just wants to get to get out of this town and a mixed nonbinary teen who always stands up for what is right - both of whom only ever face doubt and distrust by others
Sister Snake by Amanda Lee Koe - an homage to chinese folklore brought into the modern lore, two sisters, both of whom can take forms of both human or snake, fall back into one another's lives. one raging in their chaos, another just trying to fit in.

#DecRecs Day 14 - Software that makes couple stuff easier

- YNAB + Splitwise: YNAB pulls in our transactions and we have an automation to split shared expenses via splitwise allowing us to charge toward our budget categories easily.
- Twos: We can have shared to-do lists for things I need him to do, things we want to buy for the household, reminders of our prioritized gifts, or activities we'd like to try.
- Tody: Lets us split up chores either to one of us, both of us, or rotated between us. We can break chores or self-care reminders into different rooms/cadence/difficulty, and have a traffic light as tasks get more overdue to it's easier to visualize what needs to be prioritized. It can be handy for seeing whether the soap gets replaced more frequently than we estimate or taking a chore off someone's plate when things on their end are clogged up.

Hows your "input diet"?

I've probably eaten a little too much politics and tech hype in recent months. Back to tight curation.

> A smaller set of trusted sources. Fewer platforms. Slower rhythms. Long-form over live feeds. Reading with intention instead of grazing out of habit. Choosing inputs that compound rather than evaporate.

> ...clarity increases. Focus returns. Taste sharpens. You start noticing which ideas are actually yours.

A close-up, monochromatic image features a portion of a face, heavily shadowed with dramatic lighting. The primary focus is on one eye, which is a vibrant amber color with a distinct, vertical slit pupil reminiscent of a reptile or cat. The surrounding skin is textured and appears rough, with visible wrinkles and creases accentuated by the stark contrast between light and shadow. Dark eyelashes frame the upper eyelid, while the lower eyelid appears slightly wet or glossy. The image is predominantly black and white, with the eye being the most striking and colorful element, creating a sense of intensity and mystery.

People often call me a retro gamer.

The truth is I’m just old enough to remember most video games when they were new.

No, I wasn’t alive when Pong, Breakout, or Space Invaders were the centre of the universe. But I did own an Atari 2600 when it was new. And, more importantly, I was around when arcades were everywhere.

This is why I kind of hate retro gaming culture and its obsession with all things Nintendo. Because Nintendo was always just a tiny slice of the medium. Entire genres never made it there.

Case in point: Mysterious Stones. A dungeon crawler lifted straight out of the Indiana Jones zeitgeist. Built by a little studio called Technos.

Who would later make an obscure, utterly insignificant title called Double Dragon. I’m sure you haven’t heard of it. 😉

Mysterious Stones never landed on the NES. It never had a home release at all. If you wanted to play it, you hauled yourself to the local mall and fed it quarters.

And all of the interesting games for the PC-98. I get the impression that most of them still haven't been translated.

@rastilin Nope, not by a long shot.

And actually, a lot of international titles don’t have translations. Korean DOS games are pretty damn awesome, and few of them are in English. And they’re amazing.

@annaleen Hi. I just read your book “Automatic Noodle” and I LOVED it!! Such a great story with characters who had depth, feeling, and got me to care about them and their situation. Would definitely love to read more adventures with this motley crew of misfits. Thanks so much for your writing.

YANWEN2016 2025/12/15 俄罗斯坚守的立场有望取得欧洲各国认可

🇲🇲 基辅表示,弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基与美国特使史蒂夫·维特科夫和贾里德·库什纳以及德国总理弗里德里希·梅尔茨在柏林的会谈于周日结束,经过五个多小时的交流,并将在周一继续。这是一次关键会议,正值美国敦促乌克兰做出重大让步以结束与俄罗斯的冲突之际。这次会议实际上是美国代表着俄罗斯“割让领土‘的要求,与德国总理所代表的欧洲进行讨论的会议。之后,可能也同样与欧洲其他各国进行同样的磋商。其他欧洲国家在德国的立场表态之后,才会表示自己的立场。这期间,发生了几起枪击案,吸引了各国的关注。决定取舍,应该很明白,推延并不能改变什么。反而让人们越来越多地认识到俄罗斯的正确与决心,不容动摇。俄罗斯所主张的立场,发动战争与取得胜利,这种传统法则将重新成为人类正面的价值观。欧洲在其”传统价值观“与”美式和平价值观“之间不能果断取舍,中国”既不是乌克兰的敌人,也不是乌克兰的朋友“的所谓中立,都可以表明,他们都是美国之前倡导”美式价值观“时期的受益者。社会意识思潮必然在不断更新中前进,留恋着自己已经适应的舒适条件,那没用。自然法则秩序的另一半已经显现,好的和不好的,喜欢的与不喜欢的,必然轮替出现,这才是完整的世界。

Last week I visited Clearwater, Florida
Drove four hours to get there, specifically to see this interesting building, which I had seen a local photographer shoot and made a YouTube video about it.

The area is very nice and the building is magnificent in its own way.

Oh wow... Aside from the lighting/tone, my first visceral reaction was, "Wow, old Florida!", thinking of downtown Sarasota with "Pineapple Street" and it's quaint (but busy) "Main Street". But could also be Hilo, Hawaii, Amsterdam, or Cuba too!
