WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.

Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.

It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.

That’s it.

The image is of a comic titled "Winter." Panel one depicts monarch butterflies flying. They say, "We take a long journey south." Panel two depicts a bear hibernating underground. It says, "I fall into a deep, impenetrable sleep." Panel three depicts a squirrel holding an acorn, with other nuts scattered around it. Off camera, someone asks, "How do YOU survive?" Panel four depicts the squirrel having grown enormously round after having eaten all the nuts.

Hide your naughty little children, Krampus comes round tonight. Wishing everyone a very merry Krampusnacht! (painting from my 2012 novel "Krampus, The Yule Lord")

The Oak Moon name stems from the significance of the oak tree in Celtic and Druidic traditions. The oak tree's enduring strength through the winter, made it a powerful symbol of resilience and the promise of growth and light returning after the winter solstice.

YouTube video by Gary Whitta SECRET PROJECT REVEALED

I'm bored today so I decided it's time to announce the secret project.

A collage showing: top left, a 1922 illustration by Eugène Damblans of Druids gathering mistletoe from an oak, published in Le Pèlerin; right, a vintage botanical plate of Viscum album by Walther Müller from Köhler’s Medizinal-Pflanzen; bottom left, a close-up full moon; bottom centre, a solitary autumn oak tree.

December’s #FullMoon is the Cold Moon and Oak Moon. In this lunar month the #Yule All-Heal rite was kept: on its sixth day white-robed Druids cut mistletoe from the oak with a golden sickle. Given to each home, it was said to deepen prayers, stir dreams and seal a kiss of peace.

Please signal boost. Need a wheelchair tech who can help troubleshoot in Silver Spring, MD.

Three chocolate bars, whose box covers depict artwork from the Smashing Pumpkins album Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness. Flavors shown are "1979" Dark Chocolate Pretzel Bar, "ZERO" Raspberry Black Tea Dark Chocolate Bar, and "Tonight, Tonight" Matcha White Chocolate Bar.

Husbeast surprised me with these limited edition Smashing Pumpkin chocolate bars from Vosges Chocolate. They're in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Yum!

"The reinstatement of all IMLS grants means that libraries across the country will be able to resume vital services for learning, imagination, and economic opportunity. We are breathing a sigh of relief, but the fight is not over." ALA President Sam Helmick. Show up for our libraries, American Library Association.
