A grim but essential memory: 80 years ago today Auschwitz was liberated. That there was an Auschwitz to liberate is unspeakably tragic. . . www.history.com/this-day-in-...

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Having a bit of fun making a festive playlist on Spotify. I’m old enough to remember making actual mixtapes; they were a big deal and took quite a while to compose. Anyway, here’s something to amuse. open.spotify.com/playlist/1aK...

Playing around with clay trees. They look like gingerbread to me. I use my mum’s old sewing scissors to snip the branches. I was always borrowing her good scissors for various things and I’m sure she’d be “thrilled” at their current use. #pottery #nlcraft #craft

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this. Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

I’m relatively new here, and slowly migrating from that other place. Newfoundland is home. Art, music and literature from both here, and further afield is where I’m at, with some current events tossed in.
