That’s the 12 days: Dec 25 - Jan 6.
Jan 6 is All King’s Day, when the 3 Kings visited Jesus…aka Epiphany…aka the first day of Mardi Gras season.
I’m not religious, I’m just from a culture where Mardi Gras is very important. And imo, we should all celebrate a day for no other reason than to eat, drink, and be merry :)
Edit: Holy shit, just realized I’m replying to the wrong comment lol

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Being a 22-year-old virgin or being 22 and never having been in a relationship is something to be shameful about.
1·5 months agoActually it’s fine. This was me until I finally met the person who I decided I felt comfortable being intimate with.
I was raised religious but by that time I wasn’t, but that shame and guilt are still legit.
Anyway, it’s been decades since and we’re still together. I have no regrets.

55·5 months agoYou literally orchestrated an insurrection because of your “reluctance to relinquish power”.
fwiw when we got a puppy, the vet instructed us to do just this with our cat who had already been with us for a few years. Worked like a charm.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What tv shows are set in the Medieval Dark Age(s)?
3·6 months agoIt was a mini-series based on a novel by Ken Follett, but ‘The Pillars of the Earth’. It starred Eddie Redmayne.
Movie - Episode IV/A New Hope (if I had to pick a 2nd/3rd, in no order: Episode 3 and Rogue One)
Show - Andor
Novel - oooh this is tough! The Rogue One prequel ‘Catalyst’ was fantastic, as was the Rogie One novel. ‘Lost Stars’ was another good one set in the OT timeline. There’s also Rebel Rising, about Jyn Erso’s time with Saw Guerra, and Leia: Princess of Alderaan about teenage Leia a few years before ANH showing how she gets involved with the Rebellion. And of course the OG Zahn Trilogy plus the new ones that have come out.
I did read Alphabet Squadron and thought they were good.
Game: Old school Rebellion (PC), the Jedi Knight series, of course KOTOR, Galaxies MMORPG, Galactic Battlegrounds, and I’m getting into Battlefront 2 again. I’m about to start Outlaws so we’ll see how that goes. Oh and Jedi Fallen Order, but I haven’t played Survivor yet.
Star Wars and history - in particular how Lucas had aspects of Nazi Germany and the Vietnam War because he was an anthropology student and knew that empires most often fell from within.
So yeah I’m still on a big Andor high right now, waiting for some novels and other books to drop after that.
Other books I can recommend:
The History and Politics of Star Wars - Death Stars and Democracy (the author is a World War I historian)
Star Wars: Battles that Changed the Galaxy
Star Wars Propaganda: A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy
Goddamn this is so fucking true. Ugh.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are there older people with ADHD still taking stimulants?
5·7 months agoYeah, I wasn’t diagnosed until I was an adult and it never goes away (as in you’re never cured) so…I find it helps, at least at work. I try to take weekends off if I’m just chilling though.
