It would be premature to say that Saja the kitten rules the roost around here, but it is true that he very quickly became extremely comfortable with his position in the house, flopping onto the floor wherever he feels like flopping and making routing around him everyone else’s problem. This lounging position very well exemplifies his attitude: Why not let it all hang out? If someone want to complain, that’s a them issue, isn’t it?
This does delight me; I like a kitten with attitude, and also I don’t mind launching him across the floorboard like a furry curling stone if he’s in my way. When I do, he usually looks up at me like, you win this round, human, and then tries eating my face at 3am. Again, I don’t hate this. A little feline attitude goes a long way with me.

There's really no such thing as a "typical" wedding cake anymore.
So today, we're going to give in to our dark sides a little.
We have to start with classic black, right?
(By Hey There Cupcake, California)
Stunning, hand-painted black.
Of course, there are a lot of dark choices beyond black. How about this gorgeous teal number?
(By Have+Some+Cake, United Kingdom)
The rich color, offset tier, and hand-painting really put this one over the top.
Or maybe you'd prefer a forest that isn't at all forbidding.
(By Immaculate Confections, United Kingdom)
In fact, I'd call it enchanting.
This red cake was inspired by Melisandre, the Red Priestess from "Game of Thrones."
(By Candytuft Cakes, Ireland)
It doesn't need to cast a glamour to be beautiful. Wow.
Then there are the times you just want to burst onto the scene and yell, "Ta da!"
(By Kuchen Diva, Switzerland)
Ta da!
The "origami" is edible wafer paper. So clever.
This purple cake isn't exactly a shrinking violet:
(By Dolce Lusso Cakes, United Kingdom)
Those are handmade sugar orchids; I like how the gold leaf really makes them pop.
And look at all the different textures on this stunner:
(By Foxtail Bakeshop, Oregon)
Quick. Somebody knit me this cake!
The baker went for a crumpled metal effect on this steampunk-inspired cake, very funky cool:
(By Sylwia Sobiegraj The Cake Designer, Ireland)
Plus it took me a second to realize only two of the roses are sculpted; the middle one is hand-painted.
Proving yet again that steampunk doesn't have to be brown!
Not that there's anything wrong with brown, of course...
(By Cove Cake Design, Ireland)
Mmm. Do you think that's chocolate? I think it's chocolate. Does anyone have a fork so I can check? And maybe some milk?
But I digress...
Let's end with a splash of deep, dark color:
(By The Cocoa Cakery, Canada)
I think I'm in love.
These cakes certainly prove there's no reason to be afraid of the dark.
Isn't that Sweet?

Look! I remembered to post before December started this year!
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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user_staff.png)
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.

scalziwhatever_feed) wrote2025-11-28 10:34 pmThe 2025 Whatever Holiday Gift Guide Starts Monday!
Every year as the holiday season begins we’ve run a gift guide for the holidays, and over the years it’s been quite successful: Lots of people have found out about excellent books and crafts and charities and what have you, making for excellent gift-giving opportunities during the holiday season. We’ve decided to do it again this year.
So: Starting Monday, December 1, the Whatever Holiday Gift Guide returns! If you’re a writer or other creator, this will be an excellent time to promote your work on a site which gets tens of thousands of viewers daily, almost all of whom will be interested in stuff for the holidays. If you’re someone looking to give gifts, you’ll see lots of excellent ideas. And you’ll also have a day to suggest stuff from other folks too. Everybody wins!
To give you all time to prepare, here’s the schedule of what will be promoted on which days:
Monday, December 1: Traditionally Published Authors — If your work is being published by a publisher a) who is not you and b) gets your books into actual, physical bookstores on a returnable basis, this is your day to tell people about your books. This includes comics/graphic novels and audiobooks.
Tuesday, December 2: Non-Traditionally Published Authors — Self-published? Electronically published? Or other? This is your day. This also includes comics/graphic novels and audiobooks.
Wednesday, December 3: Other Creators — Artists, knitters, jewelers, musicians, and anyone who has cool stuff to sell this holiday season, this will be the day to show off your creations.
Thursday, December 4: Fan Favorite Day — Not an author/artist/musician/other creator but know about some really cool stuff you think people will want to know about for the holidays? Share! Share with the crowd!
Friday, December 5: Charities — If you are involved in a charity, or have a favorite charity you’d like to let people know about, this is the day to do it.
If you have questions about how all of this will work, go ahead and ask them in the comment thread (Don’t start promoting your stuff today — it’s not time yet), although I will note that specific instructions for each day will appear on that day. Don’t worry, it’ll be pretty easy. Thanks and feel free to share this post with creative folks who will have things to sell this holiday season.
