We are going to Poland next week, for championships. The boys will stay home alone for a week. Uh oh. It's just long enough that they will need to do things themselves. I mean, a week ago we went to Maastricht for 3 days and they hadn't unloaded the dishwasher. But a whole week, they will need to wash up stuff. And maybe wash towels and underwear.

Yesterday in the group that I coach, there was supposed to be a paralysed boy. I'm not in favour of these things, because that requires 1 on 1 coaching and, sorry, that's not for me (1:1 is OK, disabilities are not). But thankfully the head coach had called in Tim, who hurried after school and complained about traffic, and then....the disabled boy DID NOT COME. I thought that was a bit weird. Every activity that child does has to be carefully planned, no? And then his parents just forget. The other coach says his mum has an instagram account with thousands of followers. I was like, "this is looking good then."

There is another kid in the club, 10, with a mum who runs an instagram account for her about her 'dreams' and with posed pictures of the girl in swimwear showing her muscles. I got puking urges. She is also not at all talented.

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means [staff profile] karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.
