As the days get colder & the nights get longer here in the northern hemisphere, folktales are full of the eerie, the creepy, the supernatural & the slightly sinister Yuletide characters. I have an ongoing collection of linocut prints (and holiday cards!) full of festive characters like the Yule Cat
My linocut Yule Cat, a giant cat on a tiny snow covered cabin in a pine forest is printed in dark blue with “Yule Cat” above & “Jólakötturinn” below.

When I was on @looksunfamiliar.bsky.social I chose this sequence from a 1979 Sesame Street episode - probably the first time I ever heard Philip Glass was this exclusive piece he wrote for this animated sequence, Geometry of Circles. It's never appeared anywhere else.

This absolutely charming animation from 1966 popped up in my IG feed this morning; it's a marvellous allegory about the dangers of fascism and the power of resisting.

And they're both at peace now. Sophie passed last August and Snoopy passed today. Rest well, little loves.

There's a #LunarEclipse tonight! If you're in the dark region here, and if you have a view of the Moon at the right time, you'll see the eclipse. Check www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/luna... for more info and timings for the eclipse in your location. (Here on the East Coast, totality peaks around 3am.)
A map of where the eclipse will be visible. The darkened part of the map covers the entirety of North and South America and touches the western edge of Africa and Europe.

Looks like someone took it upon themselves to update the product descriptions in at least one Toronto location.

(Via Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/ontario/co... )
Bottles of Wayne Gretzky Cabarnet Merlot wine with a label saying: "USA, Cabarnet Merlot, Sad & Two Faced." Description: "This Merlot is as weak as its namesake's moral fibre. Leaves the aftertaste of anything from a modern day Tim Horton's. Pair with boiled raccoon." $8.95 Bottles of Wayne Gretzky Pinot Grigio labelled "USA. Pinot Grigio. Weak & Backstabbery." Product description: "This Pinot delights with notes of elitism and effluent. Terry Fox would not have used this swill to put out a fire. Pair with broasted raccoon." $16.95 Bottles of Wayne Gretzky Baco Noir labelled "USA. Baco Noir. Depressing & Turncoating." Product description: "This Baco's rancid berry flavour offers the hint of a garbage bag used to hold the empties of after game brews. Pair with roast raccoon." $16.95 Bottles of Wayne Gretzky Chardonnay labelled "USA. Chardonnay. Acrid & treasony." Product description: "This mediocre Ontario Chardonnay reeks of betrayal. Expect hints of moral rot, fermentedin the casks of vast wealth. Pair with barbecued raccoon." $16.95.
