If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

In January 2021, during the third national lockdown, I pulled into this deserted pub car park to turn the van round and found a lamppost and a bin engaged in lively conversation while they thought no one was looking. Incredible.

The Covid times were a tiny bit easier because David Lynch gave Angelenos the weather report on KCRW 🥲

I’m only a failure by human standards. if I was a children’s book badger in an apron I’d be like “whoa this house is massive, and I own so many cheeses and jams.”

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️

it’s time for the parade!!!! you know what that means! time to watch some of the most uncomfortable small talk you’ve ever seen between total strangers

have said this elsewhere but offering the thought here in case it’s useful to anyone: when I’m especially scared, it helps me to remind myself that probably all of my women ancestors had harder lives than I’ve had. & their strength is in me, is part of the fabric of who I am & what I can perhaps do

"When despair for the world grows in me..."

this is an absolutely incredible piece of advice I wish I had heard in my twenties (from someone I would have listened to) and I will say that I’ve experienced it in every single arts nonprofit job I’ve ever had

Wow! This is a bop.

Should I tell Twitter I’m here? I don’t want to inadvertently cause an influx of all the worst accounts on the internet.

At a Gaelic waulking workshop being taught songs and movements as the fabric is waulked. 🧶

It's been a LONG week. Get yourself home quick now, before it gets too dark. Stop at a bookshop on the way, give them a smile (and some of your money, why not?). Then spend the rest of the weekend reading!
