Every year, instead of sending Christmas cards, I make a donation to charity.

I’m a little early this year, but the LGBT+ Fund @lgbtfunduk.bsky.social has just launched its Donor Circle campaign to support grassroots LGBT+ organisations - so this year’s donation is going there. [1/2]

LGBT+ Fund @lgbtfunduk.bsky.social · 1d

Can you donate £100 this #givingtuesday and support LGBT+ grassroots organisations that need it most? The aim of our Donor Circle Grassroots campaign is simple - to receive a minimum of 100 individual donations of £100 to create our first Donor Circle fund. donorbox.org/lgbt-fund-do...

Discworld QOTD, from Maskerade

'It's only money.’
‘Yes, but it’s only my money, not only your money,’ Nanny pointed out.
‘We witches have always held everything in common, you know that,’ said Granny.
‘Well, yes,’ said Nanny, and once again cut to the heart of the sociopolitical debate. ‘It’s easy to hold everything in common when no one’s got anything.' (Ma)

I was one day old when I realised I could change my yt handle after having an account for at least a decade. Next I'll be yelling at clouds and telling peeps "Back in my day we had six second videos with whole skits packed into them. Road work ahead? I sure hope it does."

Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be. Says Skeletor, often forgetting this himself and therefore still running running running.

I did go to my local crossroads today, but it was rather quiet. I think the devil is very occupied elsewhere at the moment instead of taking kratt requests.

A hut stands in the middle of a forest crossroads, old and weathered with green growth. The forest is filled with tall old trees in the background, the wet grass littered with dead leaves.

The Light Fantastic movie club was brilliant yesterday.
What a way to finish November than with November (2017), a beautifully shot Estonian film, ethereal and with a good sense of humour.
Also I need to go to my local crossroads to build a kratt 🙂‍↕️

A story Stoppard told several times, in several places:

"Years and years ago, there was a production of The Tempest, out of doors, at an Oxford college on a lawn, which was the stage, and the lawn went back towards the lake in the grounds of the college, and the play began in natural light. But as it developed, and as it became time for Ariel to say his farewell to the world of The Tempest, the evening had started to close in and there was some artificial lighting coming on. And as Ariel uttered his last speech, he turned and he ran across the grass, and he got to the edge of the lake and he just kept running across the top of the water — the producer having thoughtfully provided a kind of walkway an inch beneath the water. And you could see and you could hear the plish, plash as he ran away from you across the top of the lake, until the gloom enveloped him and he disappeared from your view.
And as he did so, from the further shore, a firework rocket was ignited, and it went whoosh into the air, and high up there it burst into lots of sparks, and all the sparks went out, and he had gone.

"When you look up the stage directions, it says, 'Exit Ariel.”

I love it when people take the time to convert old red telephone boxes into mini libraries

A red telephone box: A bright red rectangular kiosk, with multiple panes of glass. At the top is a panel with ‘Library’ written, and a small crown emblem. It is filled with shelves of books, and a box of books on the ground.

A deep dark forest. A scientist leads a guest through the trees, saying:

"The rewilding project has exceeded all of our expectations!
Keep your eyes open for the species that have come back: Red deer, wild boar, Pine marten.
Or perhaps even our proudest return: The great old one Yog-drath'll, eternal unsleeping evil of the primordial forest."

Looks like the only green I'm spending on Black Friday is at the vet. Scuppers is doing well overall, but she's got some dental issues that need an anesthetized procedure and pre-surgical bloodwork.

Any spare change is much appreciated! 🫶😸
