Sunday: spice cake, Shakespeare and sleep deprivation

Nice.

@captjamesfitzjames.bsky.social Hi there! I was wondering if during the course of your research you discovered where William Coningham is buried? He died in Brighton (my home town) and I was wondering if he's nearby?

Ooof “Orbital”

HMS Pickle is very important to me

Hell is empty, And all the devils are here.

Not really a problem if you’re used to preparing raw meat and having periods

You’ll probably see this screenshot floating around a lot but it really was wonderful to see Lynch put a scene in Twin Peaks: The Return where he has his character literally stare at the camera and say that you should either support trans people or die. I needed to hear that in 2017

Gonna go sob. Just no please no

I got bored of the "traditional" way of eating, so I've been experimenting with alternatives

What if that aspect is called “writing”

My 2024 in theatre. All absolute bangers

Mark Strong and Lesley Manville, so powerful so perfect you made me ship Oedipus and Jocasta

2025 look

My first purchase of 2025 will be a hatchet.

Shakespeare though. Was Elizabethan theatre written as background noise? Discuss.

I missed that part of childhood during which a girl becomes obsessed with heroic polar exploration so learning for the first time about Shackleton’s Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914 has absolutely blown my mind.

I recognise the painful sides of this debate but at least on a personal level, the bill's passage comes as relief. If something horrible comes for me one day, I know I have a choice to spare myself and my loved ones. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Learned at work this week: wastewater treatment facilities turn your poo into a byproduct called "cake"

Oh no, coffee

Watched Ghibli's 1986 gem "Castle in the Sky" this weekend. Guess what the tech-mad, world-destroying villain was called.
