Goodnight from Brighthaven’s Princess Caroline Hotel, gaunt and uneasy on a night when its ghosts outnumber its guests. Goodnight from Chris Bowland, encountering the plough light spilling through the windows of St. Berenwald’s as a profound blessing. Goodnight from Hookland.

Cone nebula | Christmas tree (NGC2264) - This is still a work in progress. I’ve been imaging this nebula for about three weeks, fitting it in between unstable weather and other projects running in parallel.
This is the emission signal mostly due to ionized hydrogen (Hɑ) >>>

In the staff room at lunch, we all commented on how the children were happy with the hard frosts and walking to school in the cold. This seemed to be largely down to a belief it was keeping the Wood Sprite known as Gore Knuckles in hibernation. – Joanna Vickers, diary entry January 6th, 1982

Here comes the Stuffing Man
To have a good rummage about
For you are his child
Stuffed with straw and bone
For you are his child
Stuffed with teeth and stone

I have drawn some kind of horse into all 100 copies of THE SCORPIO RACES destined to be handed to attendees at the Nashville Friends of Fantasy event at @parnassusbooks.bsky.social on 1/31st (one is fancier, and will surprise someone when they open it). Tickets: maggiestiefvater.com/links-links-...

New KFF poll: Americans want Congress to extend the expiring, enhanced Obamacare credits by a whopping margin of 78% to 22% — a remarkable political entrenchment for subsidies that were a heavy political lift for Democrats just a few years ago, per Politico.
