Okay friends, let’s do this one last time. Send me an emoji and I’ll send you a picture of a matching ornament. I’m also doing this on the other platform (🔵🌌), if you prefer to follow me there.

For the second time this year, Maryland is the main character of the news. So while I too am excited @PopCrave knows about the county, for the best reporting you’re going to get on this story (or any other MD story)—follow @BaltimoreBanner .

On our yearly rewatch of West Wing, I’m reminded of one of my favorite social Easter eggs I had the opportunity to do.

When clearly DC should have done a Richard Schiff lookalike contest instead.

RT @PublicDomainRev: Stunning set of maps depicting the changing course of the Mississippi River over millennia, created by US Army enginee….

To paraphrase @HilarieBurton , a feminist manifesto can come in an elf costume. ❄️.

If you’re still reading this, here’s a reminder that there’s no shame in loving cozy holiday romances. They’re one of the few genres where post-20s women are central figures and have agency. They also respect the domestic and emotional labor that goes into the holidays.

It’s not a thread if I don’t have at least one typo.

However, if you just watch one cozy holiday romance this year, may I suggest:

Lifetime also doesn’t replay movies with people who have been convicted of cooking their kids admissions or been publicly anti-LGBTQ. Nor did they have a scandal this year saying their heroines were “too old.”.

But this is your annual reminder the Lifetime also does holiday movies and they’re generally better than Hallmark: more diverse and don’t imply that you this is the first kiss for their mid-30s heroine.

Hallmark: We have Donna Kelce in a Christmas movie. Lifetime: Hold my hot cocoa.

Seems like a good day to inform Maryland Twitter that at Piney Orchard Ice Rink in Odenton, you can pay to ride the zam.

On Election Eve, a reminder that and Ballotpedia are great resources to research all the local candidates and measures on your ballot. (Although, who am I kidding, if you're still on this site you're very politically engaged.).

The @WSJ is reporting leadership at the National Archives is ordering historical information removed from exhibits including: Civil Rights history, American Indian history, Holocaust history, Japanese incarceration during WW2:

Me, literally yesterday: I think Bmore Licks might be overrated. Today:.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but effective marketing is like a love letter to your target audience. It’s that friend who send you the perfect meme. Sometimes it can feel … not like that … when you’re in the trenches; but as an audience member thank you.

This feels like a good moment to mention I used to give a Working Girls: Women Workers from Sex Workers to the Federal Government in the Civil War at @ClaraBartonMSO.

They should have raffled off tickets to the West Wing thing at the White House for all of us millennials for whom watching the show on repeat in our formative years is the Rosetta Stone of our personality … like the Easter Egg roll but for work-happy 30-somethings.
