“Come,” said the Wind to the Leaves one day.
"Come over the meadow and we will play.
Put on your dresses of red and gold.
For summer is gone and the days grow cold."

There's always some prick who thinks Weychester was built from a plan within the Bible. That the Weychester Cathedral zodiac reveals twelve sacred gateways. It when they go from burbling about holy geometry and Joseph of Arimathea to sacrifices we have to worry. – #DICallaghan

A song first recorded by Stanley Holloway in 1934 and much covered since, about the all-time classic ghost of Anne Boleyn, but do people still see headless ghosts these days? #PhantomsFriday

THIS. Plan accordingly.
A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Humanity has been haunted since our first fires. Ghosts are as much a cave-old human artefact as flint tools. Our ghost lore is not only long and deep, it is living. No rocket ship glare ever exorcised it as a cultural engine. A phantom power still turns. - Dr. M. Benn #Ghosts

I feel like workers’ rights and folklore sharing the May Day space really should involve at least one billionaire being put into a wicker man.

The wood is waking in nettle and wild garlic. Trees stretch out their limbs, start to pull on green gowns, blossom finery. Each day the witch walks with a stronger hope of seeing spring's wild rioting. Joy comes more easily to her lips. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB
Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.
He's a eugenicist.

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True.
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.
