sans-serif fonts are now seen as modern, but originally it was the opposite. one of the first printed sans-serif fonts was called ‘english egyptian’, because the letters without serifs seemed ancient or primitive, almost carved: https://hell.twtr.plus/media/905fd7b5ce167b2a04ed73766b1948d92543d6cec616a966ccec3a6a2106d156.file

really enjoyed the christmas lights extravaganza. although it was my favorite part i have to ask if, philosophically, the christmas themed ‘raising of the flag at iwo jima’ was really in the best taste

i got some pushback (from media, journalists, cat that lives at nearby church) on including the devil bee in my new book. very pleased i did not capitulate. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/202070cba34e9935e5b762f825e049bbb5a74041d61ecfb3664a840e895802a6.file

interestingly, the four stanzas of this song perfectly fit a tradition i only know from anthroposophy, which is that the four weeks of advent are “dedicated to” stones, then plants, then animals, then people. probably just a coincidence, but cool. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/ee5541b9cfa769c54cb43ced390699e73a0899a4fd9805e0debed5b080e2e11b.file

an author i included in this anthology several times is eleanor farjeon (1881 - 1965). just before publishing, i learned that she wrote one of my favorite advent / christmas songs: ‘people look east’. couldn’t find a public domain recording, may ask a woman if i can record her. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/6cb58b9dc67e24d7145a6a6fad8c33ff88a74046c1c7f34e50d259fb3960a242.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/20aac15322b2623cde5f5f40b5f1fe7fc11f6d679b6b901014217416af61bf26.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/a1b8460c401c310d2b9d22c86193173efecacfd541e16c398c75f8aac3067a0d.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/567d8dae173e4ffc549ad747673e62cf5af401a2f8d0ea1290c3fbeb8cbb48d3.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/930c61d8f10de39f07dfae85e1cdbc22b48eea70a830b9f16d69c2a500e221cf.file
