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.

Hi #portfolioday

I am someone who continually flogs undead horses, specifically the Welsh Mari Lwyd in my artwork. If you ever need an undead horse, I’m here to fulfill that need

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 a Hollowing Man
To empty all of your insides out
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

And please, PLEASE let us not forget that time in 2023 when Karen Smith was elected President of the school board in Bucks County, Pa and swore her oath on a stack of banned books. The most gangsta oath ever! Just brilliant. www.edweek.org/leadership/t...
This School Board President Took Her Oath on a Stack of Contested Books. Here's Why
The school board for Central Bucks County, Pa., has been at the center of divisive political debates.

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.
