I remember Dave Chappell talking about Trump and how he's not so different from other USA presidents, he's just blunt about it. He just says out loud what all the other ones cover in pomp and circumstance. Our ugly greed, bullying and exploitation laid bare.

There is a wonderful traditional castilian word for talking about frost when it re-freezes at night over the previous day's frost that the sun hasn't reached and melted: "Cencellada". #FolkloreThursday

⛈️🐦‍⬛⛈️Rooks perching close together in tall trees and facing into the prevailing wind, is said to be a sign of bad weather on the way. If they fly wildly, with sudden downwards swoops, strong gales or storms are coming. #FolkloreThursday #FolkyFriday #FolkloreSunday
