Welcome to the 2025 Holiday Gift Guide, which honestly should’ve gone out last week but who cares because time isn’t real, so fuck it.

But if we’re being honest the reason this gift guide is late was that I was still sending out and recovering from sending out the 2025 Sock of Shit, which is now sold out. And if we’re being really honest—and why the fuck shouldn’t we be—this whole thing could’ve been coordinated to the point where I announced the 2025 Sock of Shit in the holiday gift guide, but I am not Williams-Sonoma. So here we are.

The good news is that there will most likely be a 2026 Sock of Shit, because I really enjoyed making it. And next year, there will be a little more prep around it.

The even better news is that there are still things you can give us money for because we made a lot of nonsense this year, and here it is:

Gilly & Billy Enamel Pins

A perennial favorite is back in stock and now being bought by people who used to text me about “cutting out the guillotine shit.” So that’s nice. It also makes a great stocking stuffer. (This was a collaboration with the great Adam Koford.)

Signed Pulp Trash Collection

Four of our books (Ruined by Design, Design Is a Job, Just Enough Research, & The Collected Angers) reprinted as pocket sized books with really crap paper and even worse leading. Close to unreadable in this format. But if you’re getting this format you probably (hopefully) already read them in a nicer format. Also, we sign these. Your name, or get them signed for a friend.

Torment Nexus Zine

A fun little zine that looks like a Chick Tract and contains cartoons and an essay about how AI is ruining our world. Great stocking stuffer!

Why mug

For fans of Just Enough Research. (And who isn’t, right?) Combine the joy of asking questions with the joy of drinking coffee.

FUCK AI sweater

Let me start by letting you know that this will most likely not arrive by Christmas, but probably in time for your first day of work in January. This sweater is great for tech workers, teachers, students, and writers trying to stay warm because they couldn’t pay their heating bill. Everything is awesome, everywhere.

One Billionaire Head tote back

What’s in the bag? Is it a head of cabbage, or the head of some tech oligarch advocating for public hangings? Who’s to say? Personally I think this is a great combo with a Gilly & Billy enamel pin.

…and more

There’s lots more stuff in the gift shop, including zines, buttons, a very expensive cassette set, and the nice versions of our books, which you can buy at Bookshop.org, or even better—ask your local to order you one. (They’re in the Ingram database. They’ll know what that means.)

Please take care of yourself and each other. If we’re gonna make it through this we’re gonna have to do it together. ❤️‍🩹
