Lots of echo chamber discourse. So. A 🧵

The echoes in my chamber:

* Equality, regardless of race, creed, orientation, sex, gender, etc.
* LGBTQIA+ rights are human rights.
* Woman have the right to control their own bodies.
* There's no such thing as an illegal.

A frame mostly filled with benthamia kousa (Korean Dogwood) blossoms, the rest filled in by its own foliage. The picture has been run through home brew image processing software which used a false color palette to replace pixels selected by a Sobel filter algorithm. The false colors highlight edges and details.

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 12/5 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) I am going to try to pull ahead on Girl Genius. This is very difficult (for me). But it will make the holidays less stressful, and our Patreons will like it, so there's no real down side. All we have to do is write it.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue looks at Green in confusion, as Green is covered in pink hair rollers. Green: I'm going to find out what I'd look like with curls! Blue sits down to wait as Green leaves the room. Green: It's time to take the rollers out! Blue sits with the most neutral expression possible as Green returns, as a fluffy cloud of uncontrollable curls. With miraculous self-discipline, Blue manages to keep his expression neutral, while Green frowns at him. Blue: Requesting permission to laugh hysterically. Green: Request denied.

"There's nothing to it," he said, "if you have a magic staff."

"But it's only a big pencil," the Humbug objected, tapping at it with his cane.

"True enough," agreed the Mathemagician; "but once you learn to use it, there's no end to what you can do."

Goodnight from Jonah Lidstone, cutting out monsters and Bone Horses from tin cans to adorn the family Christmas tree. Goodnight from Holly Grace, wondering if a whole bag of sherbet lemons is enough appeasement for the Punkle living in their shed. Goodnight from Hookland.

#OldFoxAdventCalendar
St. Nicholas Eve. Peter had been sent to bed very early that night. He had an awful cold, and, because of his diabetes, the Doctor had been called. Bed rest, he'd said, plenty of fluids, just bread and milk for supper. I'll call back first thing in the morning. And don't worry, he'll be fine, he said to Peter's mother, who always did worry, with some reason. Peter didn't feel that bad, but his nose was red and sore, and his head throbbed and his eyes hurt when he moved them around. He fell deeply asleep at seven, and then woke suddenly at midnight, not knowing what day or time it was. He felt rather feverish and giddy. The room was bright with moonlight, and he knelt on the bed and opened the curtains of the little window which looked out across the sleeping hamlet and beyond to the downs and the sea. He heard an owl calling and another replying politely from the far woods. Then, suddenly, the unexpected clip-clop of a horse, the delicate jangle of bells, the creak of carriage wheels. Descending the steep road from Gleydestow farm, was a wagon, gaily painted in bright reds and blues and pulled by a silver horse with a long silver mane, threaded with silver stars. Holding the reins with capable paws was a white fox with bright amber eyes. At the turning to the hamlet, the fox slowed his horse, and looked directly up at Peter for a long moment, and then carried on down the hill into the heavy mist which had risen from the frozen fields. Peter opened the window and tried follow its course, but to no avail. The Newcomer, he said to himself, excitement bubbling up inside, the Newcomer is back, he's back! Christmas is near, Christmas is near! And he closed the latch, drank some water, tucked himself back into bed, and fell straight to sleep. When he woke the next day to his mother and the cheerful Doctor, smelling of cold air and iodoform, he felt as though he'd slept for days. I feel fine now, said Peter, my nose isn't even running any more. My word, said the Doc…

The nearly full moon seen through a thin layer of clouds via the 25x zoom on an iPhone 15 Pro Max. The overall picture is somewhat grainy due to the digital zoom. The picture has been run through home brew image processing software which manipulated the colors and outlined details in black. The moon is golden yellow with dark red "seas." The clouds are a mix of the same dark red, and deep blue.

#OldFoxAdventCalendar
The Fourth Window: For the past few years, Wolf had received an adventskalender in the post from his friend Ulfric, an elderly wolf who lived in Munich. This Advent, he had sent a beautiful Nikolaus calendar made by the lithographers Reichhold & Lang. It had nineteen doors – the first to be opened on St Nicholas' Day, the 6th December, the last on Christmas Eve. Each door was decorated with a small angel and a wolf holding different flowers and plants of the season –Schneerosen, Mistletoe, snow-white Chrysanthemums, blood-red Holly, Goldflieder, Kirschblüten. Of even greater delight, however, was the daily additional presence of a delicious Stollwerck chocolate. Each morning, Wolf leapt out of bed and thundered with such excitement and exuberance and untrammelled happiness towards his calendar, that Old Fox quietly ordered an extra large box of Stollwerck bonbons for Christmas Day.

Every musician, artist, writer and designer should be paid for their work and not have it stolen. If you don’t understand this, you have a moral deficiency and are clearly an absolute fuckwit. It really is this simple.

The Fourth Window. "It's the Rag & Ribbon Weasel," shouted Wolf from upstairs. "He's coming up the path!" "Rather early this year," said Old Fox, and went to open the front door. Standing on the threshold was a whiskery Weasel, great sack on his back full of tatters and frays. Wolf and Grandcub found the rag-bag, which hung on the linen room door. It was a huge bag, made from an old green velvet tablecloth. Inside, were scraps and shreds collected over the past six months: jags of threadbare white linen and woollens and fairy-whisps of calicoes and poplins and faradines and mousselines and tussores and fancy Ottoman and Merveilleux silks. "Always the best rags," said the Weasel, "no cholera in the cottage, no whooping or Scarlet spots?" "Nothing like that, answered Old Fox, who'd brought him some plum bread & a snifter of gin. "Then I'll be giving you half-a-crown and asking for your blessing." And the Rag & Ribbon Weasel munched his cake & swiped his Geneva, and was on his way, vanishing into the snow-piled lane like a puck or a Yuletide gobling.

Daily bunny no.3158 lives in a quiet pond
A bunny stands by a very small pool or pond, beckoning to a strange water-bunny, a swirling mass of water with ears, rising out of the pond. A second bunny watches from a forest path, surprised. It is a crisp autumn day.

The Fourth Window. Herr Professor Hedgehog was having a perfectly delightful morning. After breakfast, he walked into the village past fields of glittering frost and bought some oranges, four Chelsea buns, a bag of marzipan walnuts and a sheet of stamps. Outside the drapers, he'd bumped into Old Fox and Wolf who had provided him with an interesting, potted version of all the local gossip. Back home, he arranged some of the walnuts in a silver nut dish, made a strong pot of coffee, put on a gramophone record of medieval carols, and began the happy task of writing his Christmas cards and letters, commencing with the most important one of all, addressed to the villa of a small vole in Baden-Baden.
