🌟 Merry Christmas from a newborn star. Earlier this year the NASA/ESA/CSA #Webb Space Telescope took this stunning image of HH30, an edge-on protoplanetary disc. 🧪🔭 🔗 esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Webb/Webb_investigates_a_dusty_and_dynamic_disc

Recalling the time I shared a glass of something nice with the Anti-Santa, Hermann Nitsch. Someone with a sound grasp of German sadly confided that the artist had obviously had a stroke. I correctly ascertained that he - like me - was simply pissed.

This is the darkness. This is the birth of light. Warmest wishes for the season from Michael, @verlorenschatten.bsky.social, and all the Lollipop Guild.

🙏 @vmdtm.bsky.social ! This is Lullaby, a song I wrote some yrs ago as we all sensed some tide or other starting to turn. A reminder that light always returns (in flames if necessary) and that after every almighty mess, a clear-up comes. Handy enough to remember eh!

You may not know that a Werewolf can both sing and weep, as well as tug on your heartstrings. The unique star that was Michael Hurley, who we lost this year, is gonna put you right. #MichaelHurley #freakfolk #halloween www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2U7...

Another bit of a gem - a Russian folk tune about death "the soul and the pale body parted... parted and took their final leave." before the soul goes off on a wander...... this version by wonderful vocal ensemble Kitka #halloween www.youtube.com/watch?v=80Po...
