Maybe the places where many of y’all live don’t observe it, but I still do. So Happy Mardi Gras, dear readers!
Valentine’s Day 2022
Posted in Holidays, tagged holidays on February 14, 2022| 1 Comment »
As longtime readers know, Valentine’s Day is my least favorite of holidays, and I’m not particularly fond of the typical iconography associated with it, either (which is often weird or violent or creepy as hell). So every year I try to share an exception, like this cute kitten valentine which eschews the usual terrible puns in favor of a simple, direct message which could have been written by a computer, had computers existed back then.

Little Christmas 2022

If you don’t understand why this witch is carrying a sackful of toys, I suggest you consult my column from seven years ago today, which also (not by coincidence) contains links to the columns for the previous four years. That should give you all the information you need to understand why I’m wishing some of my readers a Merry Christmas, some a Good Epiphany and others a Happy King Day, and welcoming all of you to the Carnival season!
