Good monoid!

Monad

Gute Monade!

Goeiemorgen! I have been told that it's spooky season 👻 . Do we consider that an American perversion of our Celtic traditions or do we roll with it?

As with many American things, looks like a lot of it is from Scotland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Halloween#Scotland

5th November is when we have a weird sectarian holiday about anti-Catholicism, terrorism, torture, and execution

(speaking of Celts don't know if there are others here who geek out equally on history and language, but I've been tremendously enjoying this podcast recently https://historyofenglishpodcast.com/)

I'm gonna have to check this out, I misinterpreted this at first. If you're interested in British history, the, uh, British history podcast is absolute gold.

Halloween and all those holidays fly all over my Greek head 🙂 Autumn is pretty boring, our spooky stuff happens around Christmas/New Years where the goblins that try to chop down the tree that holds the earth to the sky come up and play tricks 🙂
