briefly thankful


I’m a bit late on the weekly newsletter because I’ve been social! And also figuring that since I’ll not do one this week thanks to Thanksgiving in the US, there’ll be a more equal split between them.

I’m thankful for my husband, my partners, my friends, and everyone who has been kind to others this year.

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking on what the next year will bring. For myself, at least. I think that we can all agree that this year has been an escalation of a lot of terrible things, and sometimes it feels like there’s no end in sight.

I remember a phrase that has been part of my life for quite a long time. This Too Shall Pass. All things, good or bad, will not last. I also take that to mean that it’s worth trying things, because it’s usually better than not having tried at all.

I don’t know what the next year will be like, but as I celebrate Thanksgiving with those closest to me, I’m looking forward to a positive turning point, where we see a light at the end of a tunnel to a brighter future with one another.

I’m thankful as well for all of you who follow along with me, and as always, I want to hear from you, and for what you are thankful for! 💝

I saw them at Aquatifur! And I like their positions, as well as a candidacy that stays true to the candidate, not a party.

This is kind of bonkers. Surely this can’t represent the thoughts of Silicon Valley as a whole… right?

A strongman dictator calling for the death of his political enemies should be dealt with as seditious behavior, right?

Ashly Burch is doing a puppet series on anxiety and finding therapists, and I’m here for it. So cutely made, and helpful info!

This movie is cute and fun, and honestly could do a lot better if it was made now. Furries would eat it up.

Everything is broken, nothing works right, and we all just put up with it.

I have this dream! Even when it sounds really ridiculous being read back to me in a video, it still seems possible somehow.

I actually was surprised that this started with an indirect nod to furries, even if the host never says the word.

Is it really secret? I guess for folks who aren’t tech curious 😅

I had multiple friends who claimed to invent the term “tight” to describe something cool

the kinds of vibes that all good Ivycomb and StephanAfro videos have

This has been going around my feeds for a few weeks. I like the creativity of the stop motion, hand drawn animation and real-world setup for the video.


If you made it this far, why not share this newsletter with a friend? Or share with me some of the things that you found that you liked this week. Either way, I’m thrilled!
