The locked attic room in Ashcourt from where science fiction writer Olag Gandle disappeared on February 15th, 1936. The disappearance remains unsolved and a matter of much speculation. It has entered the folklore of the county as faith, as ritual. #LightACandleForOlagGandle

The last Parliament of Bears in England was held in 490 AD. However, the date of the last Parliament of Ghost Bears is much contested and a sure way to start an argument in a tavern. - #CLNolan, BBC National Programme talk, 1934

I was once given some very wise advice from a small pamphlet I found wedged under a city bus seat.
It was titled "Falconry for Beginners."
On page 1, it said:
Step 1-- Start with an owl.
😶
Keep that under your hats, my loves.
Start with something that feels nonsensical and grossly inadequate.

We are community or we are less. We are engines of kindness and connectivity or we are less. When decency is framed as a radical position we must remain who we are. Our resistance is also in refusing to be less openhearted and filled with compassion.
