If you've ever marvelled at the vaulted Victorian subterranea of Liverpool's Williamson tunnels you have The Heritage Centre to thank. Unfortunately, it will be closing for good on June 1st if they can't raise £12k.

That dusk, in the dark drawing room, Old Fox lit the beeswax candles on the spruce tree for the last time & the ghosts of the past & of those yet to come stepped forward, held in their spun-gold for a brief weighted moment, for the end of Yuletide is leaden with time, with the fugacity of all things

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Ever since the class project on ancient Egypt, the children have taken to calling a particular grave 'the Moss Mummy'. They leave her all sorts of afterlife offerings. I'm told she is fond of sherbet dabs, rhubarb and custard chews as well as certain bubblegum cards. – Joanna Vickers, 1982 #VOH

The mire edge in winter never entirely convinces me it's asleep. Sometimes I'm sure the slow breaths of Stay Belows at mud bubble up to the surface. Sometimes in the water's stillness as it waits on ice alchemy, I am sure I see the reflection of the Iron-clawed Hag's spirit. – Joanna Vickers #VOH

Goodnight from John Darley, making good use of his Devil’s Own Luck charm down the snooker hall. Goodnight from Thea Tibbs, sleeping with a small pouch of skullcap under her pillow in hopes it will keep 'Protect and Survive' nightmares from her sleeping. Goodnight from Hookland.
