  24. 🚨 BLOGGAGE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN 🚨

    Thanks to @randomcha mentioning it, I watched a #SilentFilm about #witches from Sweden in 1922. It’s really good, even if it’s not necessarily fully accurate (tough to know what really happened in the 1400s). Very much worth your time, if anything in that list even vaguely intrigues.

    This also connects to the discussion of @cstross’s own views of the ‘Satanic Panic’ of the 1980s.
