Neufena<p>Tonight is a previously unheard of outing for Medlock Rapper on a Monday. Manchester is a mixture tonight. Some places are rammed, some quiet.

Rich Holmes<p>The American Travelling Morrice's Winter Meating [sic] happened Saturday. No particularly notable developments, at least none for public consumption, but we did report progress for this year's tour — there is some! — and _probably_ we're doing southern Vermont in 2026 and _maybe_ Bristol County, MA in 2027.</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/morrisDancing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>morrisDancing</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/folkDancing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>folkDancing</span></a></p>

Edward Betts<p>These folk dancers in Mexico City remind me of Morris dancers. For those who don't know, Morris dancing is a vibrant English folk dance characterized by rhythmic stepping and choreographed moves, performed by dancers clad in costumes adorned with bell pads.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MexicoCity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MexicoCity</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FolkDancing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FolkDancing</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/CDMX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CDMX</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/WikiLibCon25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WikiLibCon25</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Mexico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mexico</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MorrisDancing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MorrisDancing</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MorrisDancers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MorrisDancers</span></a></p>
