Here's Cernunnos, wishing you all a merry Yuletide, however you celebrate!
The name Cernunnos appears in an inscription on a first-century CE Roman pillar from Gaul, associated with a horned figure.

The irony really because I might have written this as a message to myself at the moment.

Happy Holidays from Phoenix

The decorations are up. The pies are baked. Gifts are wrapped. Best time of the year is early morning after the holiday tasks completed, my loved ones are still asleep and I can enjoy some blessed quiet time. The Discovery Chnl “Decorating the White House Christmas 2025” is on with the sound off.

Bari Weiss yanking a 60 Minutes story is censorship by oligarchy | Margaret Sullivan
Weiss ought to cut her losses, green-light the piece, and try to start acting like an editor – not like a cog in the machine of authoritarian politics and oligarchy

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has ruled the Texas National Guard must return to Texas where they belong.

Once again, the courts rejected Trump's authoritarianism. Gov. Abbott should have never supported the use of the National Guard as political props. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...
Supreme Court blocks Trump effort to deploy National Guard troops to Illinois
The 6-3 ruling comes more than two months after the Trump admin asked the justices to weigh in on the move.

Brave little Ash. She is one of the group of sheep we took in last spring and out of all of them she was by far the most fearful of people. She loves her herd but she's still working on trusting human - which is understandable! We will give her all the time she needs to feel comfortable.

TRUTH.

For example, finding an eye-witness account of the Burr-Hamilton duel that seemingly no one else has found…

I didn’t move for hours.

Made it into my dissertation.
Into my first book.
And into the Hamilton musical.

Research, man.
Nothing like putting the pieces together for the first time.
I don't have a specific story at the top of my head, but the experience of picking up a loose piece of paper and realizing when you get to the end of the page that you now know something about the past that literally no other living person knows?

Unbeatable.
I think we need a mega thread of everyone's craziest archive stories.

It was warmer today but windy. We went for a hike this morning and a walk around town this afternoon, so it was a good day.

Look at my new tiny hoofcat friends.
Our new senior minis are too adorable. 🥰 Right now they are still in the quarantine barn because they’ve had no recent vetting. We need to make sure they are free of all communicable parasites and viruses before incorporating them with our residents.

Blessings to ALL!
We enjoyed a fire in the backyard under a sliver of a new moon. I’ve set my intention for a more positive 2026 ❤️
