Strictly confidential and off the record, do I look good in this suit?
Rabbit, rabbit! Capitalism is being terrible to me, but I am doing my best to welcome the season. Have some links.

jesse_the_k: Fat Bear Week. I am delighted that it is about literal bears.
2. The Budos Band's "Long in the Tooth" sounds like the funkiest Bond theme never filmed. I want the rest of that movie.
3. Courtesy of a friend who is not on DW: well, these suitcases look like ghosts all the way down.
4. Courtesy of
newredshoes: "10 things you need to know to stop a coup." I found the article non-alarmist, serious, and practical.
5. I am enjoying the original cast recording of Moana (2016) in te reo Māori, featuring as many of the English-language cast as are bilingual and some brilliant new voices. I have of course sent it on to my niece.
The full moon tonight was huge and parchment-gold. I saw its light spilling up from the line of roofs and trees before it rose.

I keep forgetting that waistcoats with sleeves even exist!
(a) Sourced.
(b) Daaaamn.
(c) I should have known better from the embroidery, but at first glance I mistook it for a sherwani, so, yes.

I don't even have much excuse for a kurta, which is a pity. They're an over-packer, but no one brings cotton pants to Yorkshire in January.
(Now I have to figure out what shirt goes under that.)

I admire your dedication to the historical record, but hell!

If it's any consolation, layering is an extra point in favor of the waistcoat with sleeves.

I am sure the sky will do other fine things. At the moment ours is just sort of drizzling.
