@georgebaily let's not go down that #rabbitHole just yet.

Though, I've been playing way more #whackamole lately than I can ever #remember

Let us not #forget the 5th of #November

No #GuyFawkes #mask necessary, it only sends the wrong message. Let's not create more #Noise than required.

#humans have a hard enough #time #listening as it is!

#covid afforded everyone the luxury of #plotting their #destruction

Now, they're ready to, 3, 2, 1 #execute

_The Evening Post_, 7 November 1924:
WOMEN IN
PRINT.

A good “Guy Fawkes” story comes from #Kelburn. A group of small people arrived at a house in the district, and although abominably early in the morning, was kindly received. One very strange little figure attracted special attention, being arranged in particularly weird garments, and the face “corked up” in great style. “And are you a boy or a girl?” was a question put. “I’m a little girl,” was the reply, given rather proudly; for it is not every small girl who makes her escape with the boys of the household on Guy Fawkes’ day. “You are dressed up,” the householder continued, “I should think you would frighten people.” “I have frightened ’em already,” was the statement, made with immense satisfaction, “I’ve frightened a horse and a boy!” and the party moved on.

Since adopting a rescue dog, I now dread the #GuyFawkes fireworks. Last year, he bolted out of a park when a firework went off, and we fortunately found him several hours later. Tonight he is hiding under the sofa, and it's really quite upsetting seeing him so terrified.
