Why do you think Baroque music is associated with Christmas? I happen to like Baroque music, and I’m usually able to get a lot more of it live around Christmas. I have two speculations—first, a lot of it is church music, and this is the only time of the year a lot of people go to church; second, the Messiah (an Easter piece) has somehow become Christmas music. Am I missing something obvious?

@Nora No, you were actually correct:‘In 2008, the Zinn Education Project was launched to promote and support the use of A People’s History of the United States (and other materials) for teaching in middle and high school classrooms across the U.S. The goal of the project is to give American students Zinn’s version of U.S. history.[20] With funds from an anonymous donor who had been a student of Zinn’s, the project began by distributing 4,000 packets to teachers in all states and territories. The project now offers teaching guides and bibliographies that can be freely downloaded.’No idea how much this actually took hold, but there were people with money attempting to make it happen.

@Ladyfat What could she possibly (over)share that she’s been too embarrassed to share up to now?

It turns out @Nora was correct; custard+spices+dairy products makes a kind-of-ok ersatz eggnog, without the hassle of making it.

Happy Christmas Eve Eve…as I plan to be internet-free tomorrow, I will take one more opportunity to invite any Spinsters alone on Christmas Day who don’t want to be and would like some virtual company to DM me for the Spinsters Christmas Party link and plans.

@Wildebeest I think we saw the Beau thing this morning, but not the Bruce Wayne 🦇 She’s really getting into the toxic masculinity role!

@Wildebeest And I love that response to ‘suck my dick’…’um, not sure that’s the right tone to take….’ A little late now, as it seems to be a well-established trope in trans discourse.

@Wildebeest Actually the distinction I should have noticed is that you’re not allowed to say it to MEN.

@Wildebeest It reminds me of how parents get all embarrassed when their kids use the language they’ve picked up from the parents.

@snerber I just have to hope this person thinks he’s a ‘scientist’ because he took a lab course in high school. Reminds me of a joke I heard once: At a dinner party Albert Einstein is seated next to a young woman. She asks him what he does, and he says ‘I study physics.’ She answers, ‘oh, I took that last semester.’

@snerber That’s the only way I can make any of these kinds of opinions make any sense.

@LostInCalifornia @snerber Well that’s a kind of scientist, isn’t it? 🤷♀️

@LostInCalifornia @snerber Fucking hell, just looked at her Twitter account. How can Twitter admins say this is OK with a straight face?

@Cynane This particular cat seems really enthusiastic about twisting himself into awkward positions. I should tell him if he’s not careful he’ll get stuck like that.

@Nora Bless you Nora. I hope all goes well for you in the new year, and that you’re up and about enough that we’ll be able to get together again. (I’ve got some chocolate in the freezer for you.)

@Mex_Tattie It’s also possible she’s misinterpreted what she’s reading/hearing due to her own internal messages about these things. I’m just remembering someone I used to live with who we would have conversations with like this:A: Hi B, you look nice today.B: What do you mean? Do I look ugly other days? Are you saying I’m ugly? Waah, A thinks I’m ugly.

@HebrideanHecate @Spegghetti @Ladyfat I was just going to comment ‘who’d want to identify into radfem-ism?’ but I think you just answered my question.
