I want a revolution that welcomes people in.
I want a revolution that honors shared humanity.
I want a revolution that values difference.
I want a revolution with room for joy and creativity.
I want a revolution that nurtures & connects us as much as it protects us.
I want a revolution that makes space for both love & rage.
I want a revolution that leaves no one behind.
I want a revolution that is willing to learn & transform.
I want a revolution that says, when you are ready, join us.
Meanwhile if you are Welsh, now is the time of year where a skeleton horse might show up at your door and challenge you to a rap battle.
If you lose the horse comes into your house and drinks your booze.
Merry Christmas from Mari Lwyd!

Our friendly vixen, Lopa, has started showing up again - must have been the cold weather keeping her away. I took this close-up of her last night. #fox #NaturePhotography #wildlife
TIL: There is a cursed color in the Kodak ProPhoto RGB color space which, when converted to sRGB using pre-August-2020-Security-Update Android's image conversion routines, causes an integer overflow and a crash due to a rounding error. Some dude accidentally created an image (https://www.flickr.com/photos/gaurav_agrawal/48746079687/) which contains the cursed color on a single pixel. In 2020 if you set this image as your desktop on a Google or Samsung device, the device would brick & lose all onboard data https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXKvwPjCGnY
