Is this an entry to the Alderwasley Village scarecrow competition or a vision of our future as the 51st state?

🧵The rugged coastline of North Yorkshire holds many secrets, but none are as enduringly bleak as the legend of the Staithes mermaids. Rooted in the folklore of this historic fishing village, the story serves as a chilling cautionary tale about human cruelty and supernatural retribution

Scum. 'Rupert Lowe told Joe Rogan, the world’s most popular podcaster, handguns were banned "because there was a murder up in Dunblane". Rogan asks: "One murder?" Lowe replies: "One murder." 16 children aged 5 & 6 and their teacher were killed by Thomas Hamilton.' www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

One of my fave things in York Minster: a medieval wren stalking a spider. It reminds me that history isn't only kings and battles. Someone, centuries ago, found joy in the same things we still notice today. It's a reminder of how much we have in common over our differences.
