Yule ≠ Christmas
Yule is one of the oldest winter solstice festivals, with origins among the ancient Norse thousands of years ago.
Although today it’s heavily associated with, and even confused with, Christmas, the celebration existed long before Christianity. 🧵⬇️

This is why I love social media. Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't be so terminally online but I don't know how else I would find and consume this kind of information. My life would be poorer without the academics and voices I can experience in this way.

This is very good. I like to remind people that headlines in the 80s would (regularly!) talk about people who drank lattes or ate sushi as exotic, self-indulgent yuppies with obscure tastes. Media constantly made fun of “haute cuisine” meals with tiny portions because fine dining was bad.
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥
