Things to add into December to make it just a little better:

put on your warmest coat and go outside for a crisp winter walk

bring a book with you wherever you go and switch your phone time for reading time

light some seasonal candles and play some 1930s music — it’s sure to put you in a cozy mood

make your bed more often

drink water drink water drink water!!!!!!!

buy some cozy knits and wear them to buy groceries (we have some in stock at my vintage shop)

write yourself a love letter with all your hopes and dreams and open it on the last night of the year

take a bath lit only by candlelight and bring your laptop to watch your favorite show

buy yourself a plant and hope it helps the seasonal depression

try out a new flavor of coffee or tea at your local coffee shop

invest some time into your hobbies

buy a Jellycat stuffed animal on Amazon and cuddle with it during the long nights

spend some time at your local bookstore

keep up with your laundry and cleaning your bathroom

discover a new tv show, maybe even a docu-series!!

don’t pressure yourself to make this month anything special. it’s just another month. you don’t have to be extraordinary to be worthy of love or existence.

“Our Lady of New Frontiers, Nichelle Nichols”

My last painting of 2022, and I wanted it to be a painting carrying me into the new year, a tribute to an amazing and inspirational woman.

Star Trek has been a show I have watched since I was a wee one. I started with TNG as a child, but when I finally watched TOS in college, its impact was undeniable, both today and especially during the time it aired.

Although the famous speech says “final frontier”, Nichelle Nichols was a woman leading the way onto new frontiers, a beacon of hope, resilience and possibility. So that is what I wish to carry with me into the new year.

If anyone deserves a raise it’s the employee from four seasons total landscaping who answered the phone and went “yup, we can set up a podium and everything” and just acted like nothing was out of the ordinary.

I think a lot of the debate over what constitutes “fanfic” just boils down to people wilfully refusing to engage with each other’s rhetorical shorthands.

Like, yes, from the perspective of fanfiction as a cultural institution, clearly Dante’s Inferno is not fanfic. It’s operating in a completely different context with respect to the relationship between the author and the text that doesn’t really have any contemporary equivalent.

However, when folks say “Dante’s Inferno is fanfic”, that’s not a statement that exists in a vacuum. Typically, it’s made in response to a class of popular criticisms of fandom culture that very specifically frame the absence of original creation as a driving authorial agenda as the heart of What’s Wrong With Fanfic™.

So what “Dante’s Inferno is fanfic” very often means is “the absence of original creation as a driving authorial agenda that’s being cited as the reason that fanfiction can’t be art is also found in many works that are considered great art“.

That’s a big, cumbersome pain in the ass to say, though, so it gets shorthanded into something that’s incomprehensible to anyone who isn’t already familiar with the criticisms it’s addressing.

Now, obviously the the argument that the presence of original creation as a driving authorial agenda is some sort of categorical litmus test for whether a work qualifies as real art is dumb as hell. So if “Dante’s Inferno is fanfic” sounds like a senseless thing to say, that’s mostly because it’s a response to an equally senseless criticism!
