Pre-ordered a number of books for next year, so my reading is pretty much decided for the first few months. I use Bookshop.org and Libro.fm and have both set to attribute sales to Mosaic Books, my old independent bookstore in Kelowna. Don’t live there anymore but still give what support I can 📚❤️
Last meditation 🧘 of the year. I missed 3 days this year, but got a good long streak in the end.

Just had one of those epic brainstorming sessions in the bathtub! 🛁 Filled my dive slate with basically a manifesto. 📜 Going into 2025 with a plan! 💪
Back from a delicious meal at Afghan Kitchen. We’ve been spoiled this Xmas. On the Eve we had homemade bison stew 🦬 🍲 and crab+prawn 🦀 🍤 Mac & Cheese. On the Day we had some top notch Chinese 🥡 This is why we came to Vancouver.

Watched Sicario for Xmas day today. Not sure why but a re-watch had been building for a while. I guess I was visited by a lonely ghost of Medellín 🎥
Had a very busy year, so just binged the latest #DoctorWho in prep for Xmas special. Finally completely fell in love with Ncuti Gatwa in Rogue 💗 Happy to interleave with Flashcasts from my friends at the @incomparable@zeppelin.flights 🎙

Last day of school before the winter break! 🎉
Amazing review from @brainvsbook.bsky.social
This series is like if Silent Spring and Das Kapital had a baby and raised it in a pulp SF novel from the sixties, but then sent it to shojo manga finishing school.
Want!
