In case you missed it - and need a timeline cleanse - we published a compilation of over 1,500 accents from across the Appalachian region last week. We think you’ll like it 😊 youtu.be/yPnF5Q4eCv4

This Japanese print by an unknown artist titled 'Snow Demon' (ca. 1930s) depicts a demon or god creating snow. I believe it's part of a series depicting weather gods but I haven't been able to find any more information about it. #WyrdWednesday #JapaneseArt

A green-faced demon or god is in the sky shaking snow down on a group of people standing below.

Bringing in a 25 year old winger, knowing exactly what you’ll get with him, signing him on a 5 year deal with a fee greatly reduced from when you sold him 18 months ago…….incredible Jota is that match winner that has an ability steeped in both modern football and a bygone age 🍀

I hope everyone currently having a rough time gets the good news or medical care or simple sense of relief they need right now
