A small black dog lies curled up asleep on a blue couch, on top of some grey cushions. A large crochet throw, made in various bright springy colours, in the shape of a seven-pointed star, is spread out over a sofa. Ends of yarn dangle from its edges, showing it's a work in progress. At the edges of the photo you can glimpse a laptop and a box of small balls of the colourful yarn. The Eiffel tower viewed from below The outer wall of an old house, almost completely covered with blooming pale purple wisteria. In front of the wall, a large bed of dark purple tulips in full bloom.

The Muppet Christmas Carol. Gonzo as Charles Dickens (Narrator). Rizzo the Rat as himself (Co-narrator). Rizzo appears to be kissing Gonzo on his nose. The caption reads, “[RAT BOY KISS]”

Lo, Hrodulf the red-nosed reindeer –
That beast didn’t have unshiny nostrils!

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in Anglo Saxon meter:
allthingslinguistic.com/post/1359368...
Incipit gestis Rudolphi rangifer tarandus Hwæt, Hrodulf readnosa hrandeor – Næfde þæt nieten unsciende næsðyrlas! Glitenode and gladode godlice nosgrisele. Ða hofberendas mid huscwordum hine gehefigodon; Nolden þa geneatas Hrodulf næftig To gomene hraniscum geador ætsomne. Þa in Cristesmæsseæfne stormigum clommum, Halga Claus þæt gemunde to him maðelode: “Neahfreond nihteage nosubeorhtende! Min hroden hrædwæn gelæd ðu, Hrodulf!” Ða gelufodon hira laddeor þa lyftflogan – Wæs glædnes and gliwdream; hornede sum gegieddode “Hwæt, Hrodulf readnosa hrandeor, Brad springð þin blæd: breme eart þu!” Rendered literally into modern English: Here begins the deeds of Rudolph, Tundra-Wanderer Lo, Hrodulf the red-nosed reindeer – That beast didn’t have unshiny nostrils! The goodly nose-cartilage glittered and glowed. The hoof-bearers taunted him with proud words; The comrades wouldn’t allow wretched Hrodulf To join the reindeer games. Then, on Christmas Eve bound in storms Santa Claus remembered that, spoke formally to him: “Dear night-sighted friend, nose-bright one! You, Hrodulf, shall lead my adorned rapid-wagon!” Then the sky-flyers praised their lead-deer – There was gladness and music; one of the horned ones sang “Lo, Hrodulf the red-nosed reindeer, Your fame spreads broadly, you are renowned!”

The sleeping arrangements were carefully planned

🏺🌲🪔 Io Saturnalia!🪔🌲🏺

#OTD from Dec 17-23, Romans celebrated the god Saturn by feasting, exchanging gifts, lighting lamps, and switching up the normal societal class structures 🪔🌲🥧

This illustration is from my series depicting Saturnalia in Hadrians Wall country (more below)🏛️🌲

18 Dec, the Romans may have celebrated Eponalia, honoring Epona, a Celtic goddess adopted across the Empire 🐎🐴. Patron of cavalry, protector of horses, & linked to fertility and guiding souls, she was especially popular in Britain—some think the hobbyhorse in Morris Dancing comes from her worship.

Please may we culturally appropriate the Icelandic Christmas Cat?
Facebook post: In Icelandic folklore Jólakötturinn, the Yule Cat, comes to eat those who do not wear their new clothes for Christmas. In this image, you can see somebody did not put on their new Christmas sweater. Or perhaps even more unfortunately, no one got them one! Jólakötturinn is huge, as big as if not bigger than a house, and only comes around for Christmas. Some say Jólakötturr (as sometimes shortened) is the pet of the a family of trolls known as the Yule Lads who are Santa's helpers in Iceland. It's also said that he has a particular taste for ungrateful children. Picture shows a fucking great black cat with glowing eyes, towering over a house. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16W6TzDwtW/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Unsurprisingly, there’s functionally no public mandate for the government to roll out AI systems. It is hugely unpopular as an idea.

Once more preaching to the choir (I hope):
If GC people were really concerned about women's safety and rights, they'd be focusing on this, not persecuting a minority in an effort to scrub them from existence.

You really have to read this thread. The genius of Tom Stoppard, the fragility of memory, the magic of theatre — and the glorious stubbornness of a researcher who would not stop.
bfletcherwatson.bsky.social Ben Fletcher-Watson @bfletcherwatson.bsky.social · Nov 30
Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.
"Years and years ago, there was a production of The Tempest, out of doors, at an Oxford college on a lawn, which was the stage, and the lawn went back towards the lake in the grounds of the college, and the play began in natural light. But as it developed, and as it became time for Ariel to say his farewell to the world of The Tempest, the evening had started to close in and there was some artificial lighting coming on. And as Ariel uttered his last speech, he turned and he ran across the grass, and he got to the edge of the lake and he just kept running across the top of the water — the producer having thoughtfully provided a kind of walkway an inch beneath the water. And you could see and you could hear the plish, plash as he ran away from you across the top of the lake, until the gloom enveloped him and he disappeared from your view. And as he did so, from the further shore, a firework rocket was ignited, and it went whoosh into the air, and high up there it burst into lots of sparks, and all the sparks went out, and he had gone. "When you look up the stage directions, it says, 'Exit Ariel.”
