Somehow I have just now watched @craigmod’s “Pizza Toast & Coffee” in full.

I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say it is the most soothing and satisfying 5 minutes of video you could watch on the internet today. Go watch it!

The Dark is Rising was one of my most- loved books from childhood. I still have a copy of it, but not the original one as I read it until it fell apart.

The Fairy Foxes

Folktale from Uganda. A king has a zoo with all kinds of animals in the world, but treats them very poorly. His fool feels sorry for them. He convinces the king there are exotic fairy foxes deep in the jungle, and the greedy king goes looking for them.
A few months later the king returns. He has found no fairy foxes, but he fell in love with the jungle. He decides to set all the animals in his zoo free.
