Every day is Medusa but a few years back @kyatic.bsky.social and I declared 30 October #InternationalDayOfMedusa and inspired by the Medusas I'm seeing can we do the same this year over in bluesky by which time I'll aim to have worked out hashtagging over here?

Thought I'd have a little read of this book before getting up today and, well, have finally made myself stop for a bit at least though keeping going can be justified as it is deeply classical
