In an unexpected turn of events, my better half has just demanded something more therapeutic (for him) so I am graciously (but with obv poorly hidden resentment) switching over to the colour of magic by Terry Pratchett. It’s the sky version from a few years ago. It’s also very good but less…Roman

Brian Blessed is Augustus. Right. Right. Holy mother fecking feck though, that not how I visualised the main character of John Williams epistle based novel Augustus. 🤣 This is going to be a wild (but brilliant) ride.

To clarify, this is not a sentiment I've encountered in any other context or from any other individual in any creative discipline, ever.

Say a person - me for instance - wanted to get into “I, Claudius” by Robert Graves. Read first or watch first? Read first = get to know all the ins and outs; full details. Watch first = get to know characters & plots before deep dive. Advice?

Some say the woods hold ancient secrets—whispers of spirits, guardians of the wild. Can you see her? The goddess of the grove, woven into bark and time. 🌳✨ #trees #goddess #nature #photography #naturelovers #beautiful #forest #woods

The rights of trans people do not conflict with the rights of lesbians. It’s why polling shows that, more than any group, lesbians and bisexual women are supportive of the trans community. Our community’s liberation is bound together. #LesbianVisibilityWeek

Hear me out. No more interviews of the weird pronatalist couple. Interview the neighborhood dads. The guy who mows the lawn of an elderly neighbor. The people who live self-sacrificial lives that make other people’s lives better. Normalize that. A crisis in masculinity? Highlight this man.

Discworld QOTD, from Witches Abroad “You can't go around building a better world for people. Only people can build a better world for people. Otherwise it's just a cage. Besides you don't build a better world by choppin' heads off and giving decent girls away to frogs.”

FUCK OFF YOU ARSEHOLES. There is only so much professionalism, particular as a non-binary, autistic, individual, I can muster at the moment. Stop treating us as if we are "broken" as if we are "wrong". How hard is it to accept us as us? I want to cry at the way we are talked about.

Dear National media, Headingley is not Otley. The attack was no where near Otley. It was on Otley Road which I know is extremely confusing but please, just look at a fucking map.

I wanted to say a huge thank you to all those who sent me messages of support but especially to those who donated to @savechildrenuk.bsky.social. Times are very hard for aid charities. You are heroes. Children who might otherwise have suffered or even died will not because of your generosity.
