Christmas brought me two wonderful books @nataliajagielska.bsky.social your fault, 😀 thanks a lot!

The 25 of December is when the "Twelve Days of Christmas" actually begin, known as Christmastide. And there are theories that "the partridge in a pear tree" started as a magpie in a pear tree as it was a motiff in older popular songs. 🐦🎄 Happy Holidays!!

it's Christmas Eve but it's also the 16 year anniversary of the time an art historian for the Hungarian National Gallery spotted a long lost painting while watching Stuart Little with his 3-year-old daughter, recognizing it in the movie set

The campaign group Defend Our Juries said Thunberg's arrest could signal "a new level of repression", questioning whether police had misapplied the ban on Palestine Action or whether expressions of support for detained activists were now being treated as terrorism offences.

This guy spent days on X arguing that you didn't have to know Latin to study ancient Rome because you could read everything in translation and then followed it up by badly misinterpreting some straightforward English translations.

Got a Christmas Eve gift from Lena Winkel. A mix of fiction and non fiction in German "Tiere richtig zeichnen" (Drawing Animals Correctly) where I (or my tweets) make a cameo!

I thought this news sounded familiar: “leading liberal-globalist publications involved in the production and dissemination of ‘fakes’” Oops my mistake: that news was from Russia not Trumpland. apnews.com/article/russ...

Nina Jankowicz: “They’re not doing this because they have any evidence of censorship — they lost a Supreme Court case that made those claims… They’re doing this because the group of researchers and advocates have stood up to liars like Donald Trump and the platforms that enable them.”

Anyone else have a coauthor who is so much fun to write with that you just find yourself grinning in some combination of satisfaction and pride as you edit a manuscript? If not, get yourself one.

My childhood, is remembering parents, incredibly tired after busy Christmas shift at Biedronka, racing to home to finish cooking the traditional 12 dishes and cleaning the house. I'm glad the mums and dads of Polish children will now have a deserved break. Merry Christmas everyone.

It was always a purely capitalist thing that the most essential Xmas day in Poland is a working day. No more!

🇵🇱🎄 Today, Poland, for the first time ever, joins its southern neighbours (🇨🇿🇸🇰), the Baltics, Denmark, Bulgaria and Cyprus in having 24 December as a work-free public holiday. 38m people are about to realise that Biedronka and Lidl aren't open today, Żabka will have a record turnover.

Some kalij pheasants, beautiful birds, for the second to last day of #ArtAdventCalendar. I liked these two and how they bowed to each other, looks like a courtly dance. I’ll add a process video in the comments for the interested. ☺️ #BirdArt 🪶 🐡 #digitalArt #Procreate #HumanMadeArt #HumanNotAI

Every single study into a 4 day week has concluded that it's beneficial for employees and shown there's not a drop in productivity. It's not a sign of failure, it's a sign of progress but the UK government is more than happy to stagnate at best and march backwards at worst.
