Wyrdlings! In the bleak mid-November grey light made us give you: "Novembre Noir - Black & White, from Games of Chess to White Snows, Black Ravens and Whisky Blends" As this week’s #WyrdWednesday topic. Tell us something that’s monochrome from folklore, myth or pop culture.

As the days grow colder, don't forget our feathered friends, help out by putting out mixed seeds, fat balls, sunflower seeds, mealworms, etc, and of course, fresh water. I know many already do. 👍 Thank you. 🐦‍⬛

Once again, I'm throwing my hat into the ring, hoping some ailing newspaper will offer to pay me Matt in the Telegraph money to "nail it again" on a daily basis by lazily juxtaposing things for satirical purposes. DMs are open.x

I was very happy to see a lovely Wood Duck couple noodling around on Central Park's Harlem Meer this morning. The Wood Duck is the only North American duck that regularly produces two broods per year. Good luck with that, guys! 💚💙🧡 #ducks #CentralPark #birding

On one of his trips home, his mother begged him to take just one of the balls of gold they played with. But the #fairies retook it and he was banned from Annwn forever. #FolkTaleWeek
