The apparent path of the sun crossed the equator moving northward at 9:37 UTC today, signaling the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern. Enjoy the milder weather to come, and Blessed Be!

Maybe the places where many of y’all live don’t observe it, but I still do. So Happy Mardi Gras, dear readers!
Valentine’s Day 2021

As longtime readers know, Valentine’s Day is my least favorite of holidays, and I’m not particularly fond of the typical iconography associated with it, either (which is often weird or violent or creepy as hell). So every year I try to share an exception, like this card Chekhov sent me last year, which is violent and creepy in a good way.

May the reawakening of the world bring with it the reawakening of good things you thought gone forever. Blessed Be!

If you don’t understand why I post a picture of a sexy witch on this occasion, I suggest you consult my column from six years ago today, which also (not by coincidence) contains links to the columns for the previous four years. That should give you all the information you need to understand why I’m wishing some of my readers a Merry Christmas, some a Good Epiphany and others a Happy King Day, and welcoming all of you to the Carnival season!

Just a reminder of what this day is for: relaxing and sharing with the less fortunate. And they needn’t be strangers. Happy Holidays, and Blessed Be.
