Tonight is #krampusnacht.
Since Robert Malone (ACIP lead, 🦆) is inflicting pain on our children it’s only right that Krampus punish him with birch rods.

At least 2 Chicagoland rapid response teams confirmed immigration agent activity today. Videos emerging online corroborate Border Patrol presence in Cicero, IL this morning.

Hoopla and Kanopy are free with your library card here in LA. I can’t recommend them highly enough. I use them constantly
hoopla is amazing. it also isn’t cheap. but the best argument we librarians can make to the purse string holders for keeping it is that people actually use it, so please use it! 📚 📺

The positive outcome of this story is that in frantically googling around trying to figure out what happened and how I could at least see the end of the episode, I discovered that the show is available at my local library and actually can be streamed thence via Hoopla 🎉

Christmas movie reco: Strange Exports. 🩵 🪓
Often associated with Santa, Father Christmas is actually much older than the modern incarnation, going back to the 1400s. A figure for adults that involved merriment, feasting, and gift-giving, Father Christmas was outlawed by the Puritans' brief ban on Christmas. #FolkyFriday
