It is important to recognize and respect the fact that not everyone celebrates Christmas and to be mindful of this when interacting with others during the holiday season. It is also important to remember that the holiday season can be a challenging time for some people and to be sensitive to the needs and feelings of others.

Merry Christmas friends. For us, it's just another day in December. We'll be working outside today, restoring some of our land to make it useful and interesting habitat for our local wildlife again. After a few cold days, it should be perfect weather today to do so.

If you have a child who is worried that Santa Claus might not exist, you can reassure them using this proof.

Call this sentence P:

If this sentence is true, Santa Claus exists.

Suppose P is true. P says “If P is true, Santa Claus exists.” So, Santa Claus exists.

So, we've proved that if P is true, Santa Claus exists.

But that's just what P says!

So, P is true.

So, Santa Claus exists!

Merry Christmas!

For the holiday, a thread on how to befriend crows.

--

Befriending crows is a wonderful thing.

I have many crow friends at home and at work. They bring joy at unexpected moments and can rescue a miserable day even without shaking down the dust of snow that Robert Frost described.

This thread is an updated version of one I posted at the bird site in July 2019.

Admittedly, I rarely step foot inside churches other than for weddings and funerals, but I have no problem appreciating the architecture.

This is the back of St. Anne's Catholic church, as seen from old Highway 40 just outside of Walker Kansas. Shot March 23, 2019. The front of the church can be seen on Google street view if you're interested.

As of this morning, there are over 500 people following this main Hermetic Library account in the 'verse! Huzzah!

I'd say that you should check out Sepher Sephiroth sub figurâ D https://hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib500 and you can, if you want, but it's in awful shape. It's been crap for decades and I've still not finished fixing it all. ::sad trombone:: But, it's there! I did some work on it! Yay, me!

Also, yay you! Yay us, every one!—Dickens, probably

There is nothing natural about extreme inequality. It is the predictable result of an economic system that distributes income based on who owns the means of production, rather than according to any common-sense principle of labour contribution, human needs or justice.

Fantastic European pagan yule costumes taken by Charles Fréger (in his book Wilder Mann). Reminds me of the holidays in Pentiment (the game). Happy holidays, folks! #christmastodon #JoinIn

Tarn's father squatted among the gifts scattered in front of the baubled tree, the pachyderm standing quietly behind him.

"Father," started Tarn, "Are you not pleased with her?"

His father harrumphed. "She's a fine beast. I don't mind how much you spent on her or on resurrecting her DNA." He paused.

"However, am I to understand that not a single box here has food for her? Did anyone think of that?"

Tarn shrugged. "Maybe she eats anything?"
