🎄Every holiday season I have an 'a-ha' moment related to a classic holiday film: this year it was realizing Uncle Lewis from National Lampoon's Xmas Vacation was the voice of Dr. Finkelstein from Nightmare Before Xmas & Aunt Bethany was the voice of Betty Boop / Olive Oyl 🧠✨

Which one? Tiny Ghost? Buttondown is the newsletter service :)

Getting to Zero Mood and time shifts, Jason Segal's self-awareness, and the process of listening well.

For folks in Canada or who have access otherwise, it is also on CBC Gem (with ads)! I haven't watched yet but the preview made me cry 🤣

For me, putting some of those apps 'behind the curtain' so they're not on the home screen(s) is enough for me to just forget they exist.

Always amusing to me that the music that was the soundtrack of me rebelling as a teenager is now the music I run to as an adult to stay healthy.

Two things I like talking about...Tiny Ghost strikes again! buttondown.com/tinyghost/ar...

The Rise of the Cozy Web Finding Digital Coziness in an Overstimulating Online World

This 2023 post (bobhutchins.medium.com/the-rise-of-...) from @bobhutchins.bsky.social has me contemplating about most of my internet activities: what contributes to creating this cozy space for myself and others and what is just noise to distract me?

I'm curious about this as well. I keep meaning to research things like ProtonMail, but it manages to get booted down the priority list every week.

Calibrating Blue Skies New beginnings to the world of the tiny ghost concerning re-introductions, creativity, and trash heaps.
