#Bogs
It was really convenient that all of those wetlands, bogs, and forests naturally developed as a grid for people to lay down streets along.

In literature, bogs are often the final stage of a journey presenting physical and mental danger. Or hiding places for those in desperate need. From Tolkien's Dead Marshes to the Swamp of Sadness, bogs are full of spooky symbolism (often well deserved!). BogBoo 5/

Mosses dominate the surface of bogs and can creep over mounds and stumps to take on interesting and curious shapes. Could this explain the legend of bogeys, thought to lurk in bogs to lure unwary wanderers into bottomless pools? BogBoo 6/

I guess I like bogs and foggy nights in London Town: how about Hammer's The Mummy and American Werewolf in London.

He screamed. I would never presume to interrupt you, sir. But the ground appears to be swallowing me up.

"It is a bog" said the gentleman helpfully. "It is a most terrifying substance". -S Clark

Bogs are "drowning grounds" that look stable until they are not. BogBoo 2/

Behold Lindow Man who was killed between 2BC-119AD, encased by the bog and immortalized. Lindow Man is a symbol of ancient people's relationship with bogs. Was he a thief tossed aside, or part of a ritual using the bog as a supernatural portal? Scholars today lean towards the latter. BogBoo 3/

Did jack-o'-lanterns originate from bogs? Will-o'-wisps are ghost lights seen at night over boggy land, and are thought to have inspired jack-o'-lantern stories. Will-o'-wisps lure travelers with hope into an impossible or sinister situation, a metaphorical reference to dangers in the bog. BogBoo 8/

Well we should honour the bronze age more by throwing shitheads into bogs
We don’t get nearly enough Bronze Age Collapse humor. 🗃️
The Late Bronze Age collapse plunged the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East into a period of chaos and starvation, but 300 hundred years later, the region emerged stronger and more prosperous than ever. Could the same thing happen here in the United States?

Donegal would also be a perfect location. Miles and miles of desolate midge-infested bogs full of bloody sheep. Imagine how beautiful they would be - full of native trees supporting flourishing ecosystems with the reintroduction of wolves and other native sepcies.

Tech is not one of Hinako's strong suits.
She's fine, she *can* be taught and she isn't allergic to it, but she didn't grow up around it and she's mostly winged it since.
Hinako feels excess tech bogs her down, though she did accept an electrope cup along with her linkpearl for certain days.

A Boris Johnson impersonator is found drowned in cider. Suspicion falls on Woking’s tapestry weaver, angry that an alarming decline of peat bogs might threaten to expose Threads as just a planetary-scale panopticon.

Okay joking aside, I still like Christmas. It's just everything around it that people least like about this holiday is what bogs it all down, ESPECIALLY as a theater worker.
