So once again here's that link to the project if you'd like to fight an out of order time war and unleash the butterfly effect upon reality. The next stretch goal unlocks the solo game mode.

Please help kickstart my friend's ttrpg so I can put my editing hat on again (and buy his others! They're excellent!)
The British Library is a copyright deposit library. If this means a wholesale undoing of copyright to redefine books, art, movies etc as 'data' to please the techbros, the creative industries and all of us working in them are screwed. And viewers and readers will get unoriginal, derivative slop.
Max the robot is a battered cream colour, with cute eyes and a spherical aesthetic.
Wasn't expecting to get teary eyed over Timothy Spall and a cute robot, can recommend 'This Time Away' sci-fi short film for A+ adorable robot design.
Remembered to use the vouchers on the christmas shop #winning
Finished my latest volunteering project with The Ballast Trust! I have catalogued 190 legal documents (mostly leases and water rights) relating to the Caledonian Canal from the 1860s-1980s. Fascinating stuff! I had no idea there was an inland lighthouse on Loch Ness 💡
We have a number of music rooms with pianos in that can be rented hourly by the public!
Kept running into him today! I'll have to come visit you soon too 😁
Late night shift at the library and someone is practicing a beautiful piano piece one floor above; the faintest strains of jazz are filtering through the walls to lift my weary head 💜
Me with bright pink hair, black glasses, purple eye shadow and light blue headphones. It's windy!
Thank you random lady on the street who stopped me to say my hair had made her whole day better 🩷

Oh noooo 😶 that's painful. I guess at least we'll be able to avoid the Triffids together!
Holiday was short but sweet 💜
Of course I missed the Aurora Borealis as we were off on our first holiday since pre-Covid. Dunoon was lovely but facing the wrong direction! Any chance of a repeat now I'm back in the city, Sol??
The British Library edition of 'Wild Harbour' by Ian MacPherson. The cover of the book is a peaceful loch and mountain in grey, with moors and a deer in brown.
Picked up a beautiful edition of an alternative history/dystopic Scottish sci fi book from 1936, enjoying it immensely. Weirdly prescient of the war yet to come and a commentary on pacifism, nestled in a love poem to the Scottish countryside.
A hat that's wide, made of black mesh, with a pointy red centre that turns into a turban below. Paired with a white dress and chunky black necklace. Fabulous!
A wide white and navy hat with a cheeky curve to the rim, decorated with giant white buttons. Paired with a navy blue and white polka dot dress, white pearl earrings, and a disgruntled look.
A small black number with curved black and white decorations. Paired with a tightly fitted zebra coat and a condescending glare at the lower class driver.
Evil Under the Sun (1982) hired the most wonderful milliner, I'm in love!
Just tried to read a fanfic AU where a 'librarian' MC just purposely ignored another character's obvious need for help THREE whole times and I just can't with this terrible librarianing, that's a DNF from me 😆
Someone needs to go read S. M. Ranganathan's Five Laws of Library Science!
Watching the 1971 Andromeda Strain and I miss when sci fi films were like THIS IS TOTALLY A REAL DOCUMENTARY AND YOU SHOULD BE TERRIFIED RIGHT NOW
You know you're in for a good ride
I was having a bad day and then the opened sour cream fell out of the fridge hitting every shelf and then me 😭
Thanks for all the hard work, Ingenuity!

An illustration of a goat's eye in vibrant greens, yellows, reds and pinks, which gives a sense of infection. Green text over the illustration says Earworm, Mason Hawthorne, with the subtitle A walking tour of the ends of worlds...
My weird horror novelette is now live!

Boys Like Girls covered TWICE's 'I Can't Stop Me' and I need to know if there's a German word for 'that feeling when your teenage years suddenly and unexpectedly slam into your adult interests' because I am reeling 😆
First year I could afford to go to Aye Write! and it's been cancelled due to a lack of funding. Fffffff.
