As we've put a close on the shortest day of the year, it seems fitting to pause, and give a moment of reflection for those people, things, and ideas that have passed on in the last year, even as we prepare on this first day for the winter ahead without them. Not to grieve, but to remember and appreciate what they were to, for, and with us. And to let them go along on their journey.
This is a song for wellfaring on such a journey.
GN folks.

Another album I'm glad to have had time to give a listen to today. Been a few years since I have. I tend not to focus on the solstice as midvinterblot given that the Norse typically followed a lunisolar calendar, and it would appear that most would likely have celebrated on the first full moon following the first new moon AFTER the solstice (which also makes it easier to get festivities going than trying to get people together amid the Christmas/Channukah fervor). But I do like to be reminded of ancestral traditions particularly amid the commercialization and madness, and there's a good few folk metal bands out there that always just feel right this time of year.
And really, I just don't get to listen to enough music anymore amid the podcast cycle.

@ DagzTagz Okay if you haven't read this I think you'll enjoy, and it's the least ridiculous thing about quantum computers I've seen lately.

GM folks, and happy winter solstice. For those far south enough to do so, make sure to catch a glimpse of the sun today; we won't have it for long!
Opti and Nico be like '6,7?'
