Lots of echo chamber discourse. So. A 🧵

The echoes in my chamber:

* Equality, regardless of race, creed, orientation, sex, gender, etc.
* LGBTQIA+ rights are human rights.
* Woman have the right to control their own bodies.
* There's no such thing as an illegal.

#OldFoxAdventCalendar
Advent Sunday. At dusk, in the deep blue light, under a halfwaxen moon, Old Fox quietly left the cottage. He was carrying a tangled wreath of newly-cut holly and ivy and laurel-bay leaves to the Sheep Church, a Chapel of Ease up on the Downs, a lonely, wild place close to the sea. Few visited there. It was dark in the little church with a faint scent of centuries-old cloves and frankincense, and when he lit the first of the four advent candles, the light was miracular: golden and vast in the ancient shadows. It is for Hope, he told the ghosts there, for Hope.

A cluster of raspberries in various stages of development, none of them close to ripeness. The picture has been run through home brew image processing software which analyzed the rate of color change across the image, and plotted it a yellow and orange rendition that resembles an etching of the original image.

Advent Sunday & London was bitterly cold and wreathed in a damp fog which smelt of underground rivers and coal smoke. The Dragon of Kensington Church Street, however, was exceedingly well wrapped up in a Sèvres blue muffler and matching mittens.

#OldFoxAdventCalendar
It was Advent Sunday and Old Fox, always an early riser, had been cleaning since half-past four. The cottage, apart from Wolf's bedroom, was already extremely tidy, but now its lovely old rooms and corridors seemed to beam in happiness at such expert and loving care. The silver and silver plate shone, the house spiders had kept their spinning to their allotted corners, the Turkey rugs were as bright as when they were first woven in sunlit, thyme-scented rooms in Uşak, the kitchen range and hearth stones had been freshly-blackened, and the oak and walnut tables and conversation chairs and settles gleamed with their rich heady polish of lavender and beeswax made from Old Fox's busy hives of orchard bees.

Daily bunny no.3154 "how's the water down there?"
A bunny going ice fishing has just cut a hole in the ice, in the middle of a lake in winter. A turtle emerges from the ice, to the surprise of the bunny. Shouldn't he be napping?

Goodnight from David Ash, the distortion pedal on his bass guitar arousing ire in every resident phantom at The Ice House nightclub. Goodnight from Ashcourt’s Meymott Street, its bruised tenements weeping new soot scar sigils under cover of power cut darkness. Goodnight from Hookland.

Goodnight from The Dominion cinema in Ashcourt, where half the audience has left after the first 10 minutes of ‘The Dead Watch’. Goodnight from the Welcome Rest roadside restaurant at Northway Corner, where the lights have suddenly turned on despite it being abandoned since 1973.

foxes-in-love.bsky.social
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are casually sitting around. Green is reading a book, while Blue is making a series of various noises. Blue: Hik... Hik.. Snif, snif, krhm, hmh, krhm, hmh, burp, sigh Both foxes are mildly startled as a bright "ping!" noise is heard, and blue lights up, glowing around the edges. Both foxes look at Blue, puzzled. Blue: I think I hit some secret combo code by accident.

Goodnight from Jenna Little, dropping something more than ten pence pieces into the Meldon Hill Wishing Well. Goodnight from David Severs, wondering if a packet of 20 John Player Special is enough of a ritual offering to ensure safe crossing to the Gore Islands. Goodnight from Hookland.
