HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

A short thread 🧵🍏🌳 Tomorrow is Twelfth Night, traditionally a night for apple wassailing (along with Old Twelvey on the 17th Jan). English West Country communities get together to awaken the apple trees. They bless the trees to ensure a good harvest and ward off any evil spirits.
