Happy winter solstice folks! 22.23 UTC this evening is when the Sun (or rather its imaginary, simpler cousin, the annual mean Sun) reaches its lowest point below the celestial equator.

Pleased to discover more #fediverse folk in these here parts. In fact, further back than that, folk from status.net identi.ca days.
