This is my final summer in the Mediterranean, my body cannot handle this heat anymore. Anytime it's windy in the summer I'm terrified the fires will come. And they do. Greece is burning today, too.

Welcome new followers, thank you for joining me. I tell tales, I speak lies, this is like breathing for me. Don’t come to me for truth today, for it maybe a lie tomorrow. #NoAI #Folklore #FolkloreAgainstFascism
![An early modern broadsheet called Great Britains wonder: or, Londons Admiration. Being a true representation of a prodigious frost, which began about the beginning of Decemb. 1683. and continued till the fourth day of February following. And held on with such violence, that men and beasts, coaches and carts, went as frequently thereon, as boats were wont to pass before. There was also a street of booths built from the Temple to Southwark, where were sold all sorts of goods imaginable, [...] It being the wonder of this present age, and a great consternation to all the spectators. Beneath the title is an illustration in black and white of a frost fair on the Thames in London. You can see merchant's booths in the middle and next to them you can see people at various activities and games. There's also animal baiting. Coaches are drawn across the ice and people even draw a boat across the ice. In the background, you can see The Temple and buildings adjacent.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:a4i47lsdoa7usytqshvbiyoc/bafkreifpd2yjcnpcwm53z6enxv3hzww2pedyav5voknxza6hp5zavh56la)
