Solstice Sunday evening ⛄T

 

A little throwback for the Solstice, the 8th night of Hanukkah, and the final Sunday in Advent.

How did you spend the shortest day?

Happy winter solstice to you all.

Solstice Weekend 2025 - Saturday Night OT

 

44 did not forget us this year

he was also like "just in case y'all are still behind from my recommendations from this summer"

he always includes one thing I thought to exclude & then encourages me to reconsider

 

And I was about to raise particular hell because when the interview below with Jonathan Capehart and our Forever FLOTUS Michelle Obama was preempted the other evening with other sniping and bigotry surrounding the Brown University shooting

 

But I guess they heard us because here is the full interview

FULL INTERVIEW: Michelle Obama Gets Candid on Race, Beauty, & Politics I MS NOW EXCLUSIVE

from the man who feels like he's kind of our winter season patron "saint"

You knew I'd bring this one -- the real Kennedy Center Honors, with real honorees and a real POTUS and FLOTUS

Today is the soltice! Super Summer Solstice to northern Balkers, and a Wonderful Winter Soltice to Balkers in the southern hemisphere! Unfortunately, celebrations at Stonehenge had to be cancelled this year, but you can DIY a similar experience at home.

 I made the first batch of coffee popsicles! Here's the astronaut. 

Tasted good, but a couple notes for next time: I need to strain the coffee grounds from the french press better, because they collect at the tip, and it matters which way the legs end up! This astronaut is doing a little spinal twist.

Tonight is a zoom family dinner to celebrate Fathers Day with my dad. Happy Fathers Day to all the dads and father figures amongst us! On the menu: veggie burger, and grilled squash.

How has the weekend been treating you?
