#JoinIn was so popular on Bluesky on Christmas Day that there was a 7-hour delay!!! Posts are finally showing up today. People have been chatting the whole time, so your post isn’t being ignored. People are still chatting. Everyone is welcome throughout the Christmas holidays.

Our favorite writer would have turned 101 today! Rod Serling was born December 25, 1924. As he so famously quipped, “I was a Christmas present that was delivered unwrapped.” As Lois Nettleton ("The Midnight Sun") said, he was "a lovely gift to the world." Merry Christmas, all!

In 1811-12, the Luddites attempted to resist some of the first waves of machine-industrialisation. They were crushed. 20 years later "pauper apprentices" (= orphan children) were being SOLD to factory-owners as cheap labour. Think on, dear hearts, think on.

Please remember, every time you see a newspaper or magazine article denigrating people - people like myself - who choose to avoid infection with SARS-CoV-2, there will always be a tiny, quiet voice in the mind of the author whispering, 'what if they're right'? We are right.

Thank god - Things can only get lighter from here.

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol - who commutes to Seattle from CA using a company-provided private jet - made $96 million for just 4 months of work. Brian makes 6,666 times the average Starbucks worker. That's the largest CEO-to-worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500! The visuals write themselves...

Just, wow! They spend all their time telling us it can't be different, but it can be different. It can be better.

As it ramps up through the week of Halloween, and even though you know it's coming, the explosion of Christmas on Nov 1 is an assault on the senses and common decency.
