I forgot that in 2019 I started a whole website about Ludovic Mann, #TheManntheMyth. I had plans to do a podcast & update this regularly. If this gets to 100 followers (from current total of 23!) I’ll revive it and start adding content! #LudovicMann themannthemyth.home.blog

“In peace, the internet feels like a luxury—a way to escape or entertain yourself. But in war, it becomes a vital lifeline, pumping life, information, & connection.” Israel’s digital siege is another effort to wipe out proof of our existence, writes Taqwa Ahmed Al-Wawi in this dispatch from Gaza.

It was once believed unlucky to bring holly into the house before Christmas Eve and leave up after Twelfth Night. If you did so, you ran the risk of every berry and leaf transforming into a naughty spirit... #GothicAdvent #Solstice 🎨Cicely Mary Barker

The Striperstones in Shropshire are a ridge of dramatic rocky outcrops. They include The Devil's Chair, rocks that 'Old Scratch' himself dropped from his apron. Annually, on 21st December, the Devil summons all UK ghosts to the stones for their AGM, holding court from his chair. #FolkloreThursday
