dw_newsHello, 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 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.

This recipe has been a family secret for 100 years. It’s a great pie, and deserves to be shared. My petty, vindictive aunts don’t deserve to keep it to themselves. I love and miss you, Grandma!
[PostSecret Facebook Comments]
My “Petty Aunt Pie” just came out of the oven. Looks and smells delicious. Can’t wait to eat it! I miss my Grandma too. I understand why you posted.
I have this theory that people hoard good recipes to maintain friendships with people.
I make this pie every year since I saw the secret! Delicious. Squeeze liquid out of the grated apples first, though.
I want a thread of forbidden family recipes. I’ll go first. Mother puts almond extract in the buttercream frosting. That’s the mystery flavor.
We put some of Mom’s recipes on her memorial cards for people to take with them (of course, we saved a couple of the most loved for just the family).
It sounds great! I hope it brings you joy that it will be made all over the place and everyone will think of your grandma.
The first keepsake I look for when a loved one dies – the recipe box.
[Preparation Tips]
I made two versions of the Petty Aunt Pie [see chart] and distributed pieces around town as I did some errands. Some went to friends, others I gave to complete strangers, including a guy holding a sign that said “hungry and homeless”. Next time I’ll carry some forks with me.
Hi, Frank,
The pie is my secret. I didn’t intentionally time my secret to coincide with Thanksgiving, but it seems to be kismet. My heart is so full of joy that my grandma’s pie is going to be on Thanksgiving tables.

Thunder Shaman, by Ana Mariella Bacigalupo

lb_leeWe were trawling the used section of a local bookstore, as we do, when we found a 2016 anthropology book from a uni press about a machi (shaman) of the Machupe in Chile named Francisca Kolipi. The back cover mentions “how she remade history through multitemporal dreams, visions, and spirit possession” and our ears pricked. Multi? Multi? (Or rather, cultural forms of personhood/selfhood that have nothing to do with mainstream America’s presumption of singlethood as the default norm, but that’s a mouthful?) so we flipped through, and how convenient, this was on page 4:
How refreshingly straightforward! For once, I don’t have to wade through a lot of “the individual perceives herself to be” or “she thinks she is,” it’s just a blunt: they are double/collective persons. Sweet!
I bought it for reference. Business expense, baby!
This multitemporality is expressed through machi’s unique ability to share multiple relational and individual personhoods with beings from different worlds and times and through machi’s inherent ambiguity, which allows them to cross boundaries. Like many indigenous people (Oakdale and Course 2014; Strathern 1992), Mapuche persons are multiple. They expand their personhood by incorporating aspects of others in a variety of contexts. At the same time they condense those aspects into a concrete, singular person with a fixed destiny. Machi complicate this process because they are never singular persons. Minimally, those who are machi are double persons: humans permanently inhabited by a machi spirit who preordains them as shamans and shape their everyday lives and actions. By virtue of their shamanic destiny, machi are simultaneously collective ancestral persons and historical individuals whose personhood is embodies in material objects and living entities (Bacigulupo 2010, 2013, 2014). Machi also share this personhood with spirits, animals, and deities in diverse ways during both ordinary and altered states of consciousness. In trance, machi can become multiple beings at once—simultaneously shaman and spirit, human and divine.”
How refreshingly straightforward! For once, I don’t have to wade through a lot of “the individual perceives herself to be” or “she thinks she is,” it’s just a blunt: they are double/collective persons. Sweet!

November 28th, 2025: And now, at the end of that whole new week filled with whole new experiences, let us take a moment to take stock on where we are. We're all older, some of us definitely wiser. That's about all you can say; it's actually very hard to speak for everyone reading this!!!!! – Ryan | ||

Happy Fucksgiven!
26/11/2025 11:30 amlb_leeMori: today, we helped a lady clean out her kitchen, and because it was full of great things, we trucked two big backpacks and five big bags of food, staples, and seasonings across town to the community fridge. It was HEAVY! Good thing Kitchen Lady donated a cart to the cause.
There were a bunch of other people at the community fridge, including a church lady offloading turkey dinners and pumpkin pie, and a lot of our stuff got claimed even as we were unloading it. (One Spanish-speaking family wanted ALLLLL the chocolate we had: chips, syrup, and two kinds of cocoa. Don’t know what they’re planning but by god it’ll be fuckin delicious!) The church food containers were neither dated nor labeled, and we had Sharpies on us so we marked all of them for reference. Feeling that we had damn well earned it, we swiped a pie slice and ate it with our hands like pizza, grabbed a pumpkin and some soup, and carted home the bags, backpacks, and new cart.
Biff is so fucking happy. We have fed so many people this month! And a merry fucksgiven to all!
EDIT from Biff (transcribed): I like doing this. I want to keep doing it.

November 26th, 2025: Okay, so we're halfway through that whole new week filled with whole new experiences I mentioned on Monday, and now seems as good a time as any to pause and take stock on where we are. I hope I didn't oversell it, please don't take it personally if it's only a partially-new week filled with partially-new experiences!! – Ryan | ||
