It’s the week between Solstice/Yule/Christmas and the New Year, which means it’s that weird twilight zone time where nothing means anything, everything is dark and sleepy (at least for me), and work is a series of super productive bursts followed by long fallow periods of brain rot.
So far this week I’ve managed to read the new Dan Brown book and discover I missed two in the series. Dang it. Also Secret of Secrets is fast paced and great and if you like Dan Brown it’s 100% worth reading.
I also wanted to share a couple of my favorite social media/media folks in this post, because I’ve taken time to catch up on all their stuff lately and it’s wonderful.
First: Shawna the Mom. Seriously her skits are like an epic family movie I can’t stop watching. She’s on all platforms, but you can catch the omnibus Part One on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/krH8BWEgPzA?si=h03D_dRPXnPidWBJ.
Second: Digital Hammurabi. I found these two excellent folk via Megan’s “Dial a Deity” on Instagram, which had me absolutely cackling more than once. Again, I’m referring you to their YouTube page because there’s a bit of everything there, but they also have all the platforms, a couple of books, AND language classes! Yes, OF COURSE I signed up for the learn Sumerian class. Fuck yes I did.
Third: Ruhama’s Food on Insta. Good Goddess, her recipes are just heaven. I’ve been saving them until my kitchen is back and I have the right pan unpacked.
And of course, That Midwestern Mom. If you haven’t found her on all the platforms, you need to. First, Amber is a phenomenal opera singer. Second, her character TMM is HILARIOUS. Also, yep the recipes are real. I’m sorry.
I suck at Instagram because I hate doing videos unless it’s just me recording the dogs, but I do love Insta and YouTube for the fantastic folk willing to put themselves out there to share their knowledge, skill, and talents with the rest of us. Thank you for making my twilight week so much fun!
