Happy holidays!

Christmas is cancelled

Ironically, it's because the family Christmas Nazi Arthur Shappey, and the only other person in the family besides me who consistently masks up, caught COVID-19. Tested positive on the morning of Christmas Eve.

We COULD have Christmas in her plague house, with her locked in her bedroom sobbing, but most of us are neither that stupid** nor that cruel.

So I just had to leave the house ON CHRISTMAS EVE and go to a supermarket ON CHRISTMAS EVE to purchase myself something close to a Christmas dinner.

Still having Christmas lunch and gift exchange with the immediate family tomorrow. Probably going to be stuck there much longer than I would be stuck at the Big Family Gathering. There go my plans to watch Glass Onion and Violent Night while consuming my weight in carbs.

And in a week or so we will have a strange, late Christmas Day with the whole family but no presents (because no one thinks my Nana will make it to the next one so Christmas must be done).

**My mum is that stupid, in case you're wondering.

Spell to summon a Kiwi

Scenes at the (Women's) Rugby World Cup Final on the weekend once again confirm what we have always known.

If, for some reason, you need to quickly locate a New Zealander in the vicinity, just put this song on, and they will make themselves known. Loudly.

Being tone-deaf and drunk is no barrier to performing this song well. In fact, it might enhance your performance.

SPOILER for Bullet Train (the movie)

I am here to say with my entire chest, that Michael Shannon was fucking hot as fuck in Bullet Train. Especially that one scene where he's trying to pull Daddy-sama's throat through a sword which I CANNOT FIND A GIF OF.

"Michael Shannon: Silver Fox Russian Samurai Gangster" was the type of surprise I didn't know I wanted until it happened.

the personification of death being portrayed as deeply kind in fiction is something that reduces me to tears every single time

If a genie gave me one wish, I ain't wishing for world peace. I'm wishing for them to remaster the Chilly Down scene in Labyrinth.

Please. I promise you no Labyrinth fan is screaming that you're ruining the art if you just fix the dodgier bits of green screen.

Everything else holds up. Please rescue us from the secondhand cringe

BONUS

[theoffendingbobble]

I don't know why it makes me so irrationally angry when my food gets delivered to the wrong address.

But I feel like given I tip 25% or $10 whichever is higher, the least they could do is eventually get it to me instead of consistently dropping it off at (presumably) my neighbour's place.

Yes, the stand-alone house is clearly the right address. Not the flats right next door. When there's a flat number on the receipt.

I feel like such a Karen and also a working class traitor for being actually enraged about it about this first world problem.

I WANT MY CREPES. I HAVE SO LITTLE JOY IN MY LIFE BRING ME MY CREPES.

How to Have a Nice Time on Twitter

Do not use the app. Use a browser like grandma intended.

Do not bookmark twitter.com. Bookmark this: it goes to a search result that filters your feed to only show tweets and retweets by accounts you're following. No recommendations. No likes. Just what you followed for in the first place.

Change from "top" (home) to "latest" tweets so you always have a clear idea of how old what you're looking at is.

Curate your follow list. Do not follow 500 accounts.

Turn off DMs.

Mute any word that even slightly irritates you, even if it's righteous anger. You do not need to get in your feelings about every injustice or ignorant thing some celebrity said. You are not required to be in Activist Mode 24/7.

Stay out of the tags. There is no honour there.

Follow wholesome stuff. Here's some recommendations:
