The Anglo-Pama–Nyungan-Algonquinian-Twaklinian Hexagonal Tables

English is a strange language.  It is something of a practical joke and also the cause of much tragedy.  It is possible to express wit with it yet much cruelty has also been uttered through it.

Yesterday was the June solstice.  The annual gathering for the working language and embroidery bee occurred around the Anglo-Pama–Nyungan-Algonquinian-Twaklinian Hexagonal Tables in Enlightenment House in the Adelaidezone Digital Arts Quarter.

A few ladies dressed in the latest hand-woven Kaurna gowns and thermal undergarments to sip tea with Ivaritji.

Several volunteers from Frugality Cottage arrived wearing cottagecore winter dresses, crocheted cardigans, patterned wellington boots and hand-knitted pompom hats.

Members of the Algonquin Round Table ethereally arrived from the Algonquin Hotel in Midtown Manhattan in dark academia style, as usual.

There were also quite a few apiarists, entomologists, etymologists, naturalists, epidemiologists and obviously a large number of climatologists.  Most were wearing normcore. 

They usually tend to want to be regarded as relatively normal.  The only exception was an entomologist wearing full 19th century mourning attire, for rhetorical purposes, in accordance with the scientific evidence.

Several wonderful witches arrived knowing the truth.  They were dressed as storm spirits even though the weather was unusually mild.
