@Philipnschofield thanks. How was yours?

A planned Christmas Eve jazz concert at the #KennedyCenter, a holiday tradition dating back >20 years, has been canceled. The show’s host, musician Chuck Redd, called off the performance after #Trump’s name was added to the facility.

“When I saw the name change on the Kennedy Center website & then hours later on the building, I chose to cancel our concert,” Redd told AP in an email Wednesday….

It’s Christmas Eve, and time to post my favourite photo., one that still fills me with awe whenever I see it.
It was taken by William Anders on Dec. 24, 1968, on the Apollo 8 mission and is the first photo ever taken of the earth with the moon in the foreground. It’s a reminder that we only have one world and its people are all we have. Take care of both.
Regardless of your beliefs, may the holiday season bring you peace.

New attempt in morning right before the train: reaching the payment page and hitting 404 before redirection to the payment provider... a few times I managed to go through the whole 3ds and return-to-the merchant, and then it still displays a generic error. It's been almost 40' worth of trying to pay, over thir time the price went up from 56 to 103 euros and _it still fails to take the money_

@psychopoesie Great you had a good day

This was me on Christmas Eve 2023, in the closest I will ever get to cosplay.

Happy holidays

PinkNews: Transphobic Christmas card ‘destroyed with immediate effect’ by designers after backlash

The phrase “identifying as” is an anti-trans dogwhistle and has long been used as a derogatory way of describing trans people and invalidating their gender, whereby it suggests a person’s gender being anything other than what fits neatly into the cis male/female binary is something people can ‘choose’.

Father of two daughters. Started sitting down to pee when they were toddlers so if they walked in they'd see how it was done. 10 years later still doing it; so much more comfortable; less drips and no mess. Men; ignore the propaganda, sit to pee.

Can i just say how much i appreciate you all! 🌸💗🎄✨

@hassangaza299 Aquí tienes una descripción de texto alternativo para la imagen:

Una foto de un hombre joven sentado entre dos bebés pequeños. El hombre, con barba corta y camisa roja, mira directamente a la cámara, envuelto en una manta a rayas marrón y beige. A su izquierda, un bebé con pijama azul claro de conejos bebe de una botella blanca. A su derecha, otro bebé con el pelo recogido en un moño y pijama blanco con estampados azules y rojos, mira ligeramente hacia un lado. El fondo muestra un techo de lona o tela blanca sostenido por vigas de madera, sugiriendo un entorno de refugio o vivienda sencilla, con un textil oscuro decorado detrás de ellos.

@0xabad1dea 😬 That must have been terrifying! Glad nothing bad happened.

Hurrah! Xmas swamp wallaby! 😁

They're regular, but rarely seen, visitors to my backyard. I know they visit, because I can see the garden's been chomped & fertilised...

What a great place to live.
