Ok. That’s got a story?

Pretty sure I could knock out a pretty decent episode of Motherland: Fort Salem. Also JAG - amusingly enough.

I knew someone would get me. Not only does it represent years of playing D&D but they had an absolutely thrilling grasp of character and story. Gateway drug for sure.

So. Many. Ideas.

I often feel more connected with “sapphic” these days as an inclusive term, but lesbian I am, and lesbian I shall always be. #lesbianvisibilityweek
And now I shall watch Xena. As we do.

Can’t even tell you how much I love this.

I swear if I lived in the UK I would spend all my time travelling around to all the amazing bookstores I keep seeing. We have one indie bookshop that sells new books in our whole city, and two other stupid chains. That’s it. And none have any vibe.

Every time I read a victorious “yes I finished my draft!” it drives me back to my laptop so hell yeah keep ‘em coming.

Again: @tkingfisher.com is writing some of the best horror today. Why? Because she's funny. Oh, you have some sort of unknowable cosmic entity of terror. Big whoop. She makes you afraid of LADYBUGS.

Some may say her main characters of being too neurotic. To those people I say, no I'm not, you are.

I feel this so deep. (Airsense 11 LOL)

This is a dance off. If you see this repost a dance. 🌹

I have nothing clever or arty to say, I just love this. Could stare at it all day.

It’s kind of hilarious that this is the burger we get at every takeaway in the country! We are blessed. Though yes, usually tinned beetroot and pineapple, this sounds deliciously fancy.

I am SO EXCITED!

I often take this book off my shelf just to LOOK at it. It's so beautiful. (Yes, have read it too I promise!)

I'm very curious to know if this is a format folks would sign up for - but I guess that's what they're doing a lot of on Patreon right? Join up, get drip fed stories.

Haha @sjgroenewegen.co.uk @kateorman.bsky.social I can’t decide if this is brilliant or horrifying 😂
