Wyrdlings!

In the bleak mid-November
grey light made

Tell us something that’s monochrome from folklore, myth or pop culture.

Question One of the Great #HouseholdLore Publication Day Quiz! Of Roofs and Attics. Bonus folklore: thatchers used to 'sign' their work with bespoke finials so everyone could see who'd thatched what. #WatkinsWisdom #Folklore #Booksky #Crafts #PublicationDay

Those two friends that are always fighting...

A video of a rat catching and biting a bat raises many questions : Goats and Soda www.npr.org/sections/goa...
Wait, what? A RAT caught and ate a BAT? And there's video! What does it portend?
Scientists filmed bats to see how they communicate while swarming. They found a surprise: In urban settings, rats attack bats. What are the implications for bats ... and virus spread to humans?

Accessible explanation of recent legal events, and also a reminder a court order is not required to fund SNAP during the shutdown, this is a choice

#artcriticfromhell is clearly 6 (or maybe 8), as without pockets I must brandish my weapons accordingly, ahem, without guile but with gusto.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

who are not dead
but could be

To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight, and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings, and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

I’ve said this before but white guilt is useless. I don’t want people to feel guilty for things they had no part in, and guilt easily curdles into resentment. But everyone regardless should feel an obligation to correct injustice, especially if you somehow benefit. bsky.app/profile/mich...
I found this piece sad too, but mostly because it is part of a years-long effort by progressives to understand what "really" animates Trump voters.

We already know! It is racism, misogyny and misinformation. I know that sounds condescending or whatever but it's simply what all evidence suggests.

Looking forward to what I trust will be a special #PhantomsFriday this week since it very conveniently falls on #Halloween. I'm looking forward to seeing some new contributors here (or at least feeling their unearthly presence). If not, I shall go and sulk in my coffin!

Do you know why the Frankenstein monster is green?

The incredible makeup artist Jack Pierce mixed a greenish color that would show up the perfect unsettling shade of gray in black and white films.

As color films eventually became the norm, the green stayed.

For this #FairyTaleTuesday 🖤 before Halloween, must restate my opinion that Cinderella is an autumn fairytale because there are pumpkins, costumes, and even haunted trees in some versions 🍂👸🏻🎃
