Tap Dance on a typewriter, 1937

@MittenGirlPeach Totally agree re the opioid book. There’s a pretty good docuseries based on Say Nothing but I think it’s only on Hulu

@MittenGirlPeach I loved that book! If you haven’t read it, Say Nothing (non-fiction) is a great read on The Troubles, too.

A drawing of a frail, hooded figure, resembling a ghost, sits hunched on a chair. The figure is dressed in flowing, light-coloured robes. A lit candle is visible on a table in the background. The text above the drawing says, "I am the Ghost of Christmas Future Imperfect Conditional, said the Spirit." Below the drawing, more text reads, "I bring news of what would have been going to happen, if you were not to have been going to change your ways."

The Irish/Gaeilge word for 'solstice' is 'grianstad' which can be translated literally as 'sun stop'.

Which is very nice.

Directly reflecting the Latin 'Solstitium' - 'sun stopped'.

Today is the Winter Solstice, the shortest day and longest night. Days will slowly grow longer.

Up early to watch the live stream of the solstice sunrise at the Newgrange monument in Ireland. Suggested by my dear friend @MittenGirlPeach #wintersolstice #NewgrangeSolstice https://heritageireland.ie/winter-solstice/

@MittenGirlPeach So lovely to see you guys! And a surprise Bunnie sighting to boot! 🧡

I know it's twee to romanticise libraries, but it will never not amaze me that we can ask for a book they don't have and a librarian in a local library on the far side of the country will walk over to pick it off a shelf and send it to a librarian in my local library who will walk over to put it on a shelf, reserved for me, just for me, for free.
