The yearly hosting costs of GNoH are due, and, as usual, it costs a lot of money to keep the site running.

While this is a passion project, paying for the running costs is becoming harder and harder.

Just a reminder of a phrase I used to hear a lot from old coppers when I was in the job - “There but for the grace of god go I.” Poverty is a default system choice of a society where we allow the mega rich to thrive unfettered. It’s not a personal choice. It can happen to us too. #BaublesToAdvent

This bears repeating ad infinitum - if you can afford a £250 advent calendar you can afford to give that momey to a foodbank in a country where a quarter of families with kids inder four live in poverty. Donate. #BaublesToAdvent day 13 1/7 🧵 www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

How cold is it?
It's big bowl of porridge cold

Yeah I know I'm shit at keeping up with this account. While the other place implodes I suppose I ought to start visiting here more often.
Hi everyone.
From your little ray of fucking sunshine 🌦️

Let us talk of haunted hodologies. Let us talk of near feral paths, tangle tracks that can be followed to the dark borders of Faerie. For there are ways through the wood that will always walk you towards enchantment. Sublime and terrible enchantments. – #CLNolan, 1935

Here’s an occasional reminder about how easy and - above all else - kind alt text is.

I’m going to do a mini thread with some examples of how visual accounts can use it well.

Merry Christmas, God Jul, Joyeux Noel.
We're watching the NORAD Santa tracker before sleeping. I might have a wee dram.

Went to the garden centre. Bought plants. Found a friendly parrot 🦜☺️

The wise witch will refute the easy lies that seek to diminish natural magic. For she know's there is no stream without a song. No dull way through woods, no walking beside waves without hearing whispers. There is no field empty of spirits. – Emily Banting, 1982

Once again I discover that despite my best intentions, my art does not get me as far on these platforms as other people’s seems to.

Anyway, here’s a cool pin set I made.

I don't know about anybody else in the UK, but every day I get more and more grateful that we avoided all that chaos with Ed Miliband.

I shudder to think where we'd be without the sort of steady, consistent leadership provided by whichever Tory is PM today and whoever the Cabinet is this afternoon.

Farage getting paid £1.5m for I'm a celebrity. Don't watch it, don't send them money in phone votes, don't reward the advertisers, and fuck Ant and Dec for platforming him, no matter how many oh so edgy winks to camera and cutting remarks they make.
