freiheit🤖This morning, I’m thinking of “the reason for the season”: Imagine a tribe in the north thousands of years ago. It’s been a moon or two since the ground froze, little left to forage, hunts and traps catch less each day, stored foods are carefully used so they’ll last. No child goes hungry, but parents are starting to consider going a little hungry to give children more food a bit longer. Winter is a slow death and cold suffering.1/3<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/WinterSolstice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WinterSolstice</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Yule" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Yule</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Christmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christmas</a>
