On a green lawn, a big tree is in the centre, with a sizeable trunk and reaching branches with green foliage. A wooden bench is just too one side. Grass as far as the eye can see, and more trees at the borders.

Such beautiful late summer weather in London.

Absolutely GIGANTIC lobster roll and Pumpkinhead cravings rn

Fostater: i think it's great, dark lord, that you can write and still find time to lead our hate movement
Rowling: a lot of people are all 'wow if only hitler had been an artisst insstead of a genocidal hate monger'
Rowling: i ssay
Rowling: get yourssself a leader who can do both

Yes. What it is this time?

Second rec for Reflecting Skin in two days. It's a sign.

The Leaser Dead had some full on belly laugh moments, often in fraught action scenes, which made it a distracting bedtime read.

I'm visiting Durham for the first time (for work) in a storm. 🌩️🌞

Five minutes after I got off the train, I was like: I love it here 😍

Really curious what the juxtaposition of uni students and locals is in this tiny place? @talkscaredpod.bsky.social

Which circle of hell for people who don't get up and move from 'airline' seats on trains after plenty of free seats become available?

I'm also on strike this week. Three day strike for the biggest healthcare testing provider in the UK. 💪

Understandable if they've had it up all year round!

It's Christmas in August 🙏

The image is a Japanese woodblock print titled "Red Mask Cormorant on Rock" by Ohara Koson (1877-1945), a prominent artist of the shin-hanga movement. The artwork features a large, dark-feathered cormorant standing on a rocky outcrop, with its wings partially spread, possibly in the act of drying them or preparing for flight. The bird is rendered with detailed plumage and a distinctive long, pointed yellow beak. Waves break against the rocks it stands upon. In the background there are birds in flight in the distance.

Morning.
🖼️ Cormorant, Ohara Koson.

A tabby cat is snuggled into a pale blue muslin blanket in the corner of a sofa. A person is under a darker blue blanket. They are both on a sofa with a dark grey throw on it.

He's using my blanket and I'm using his.

People did the same thing with activities as well, like 'I'm having a better meal/day/walk than you'

Kind of disgusting that people can't find joy or satisfaction in anything *unless* they shit on others at the same time.

👀👀👀👀👀

And just like that summer was over.

🥮🎃🍁🍂 🏫 📚

Many of us who were GRRM fans going to WC 20 years back gave up on the series getting finished long, long ago.

Well, enjoy an amazing reading experience and then see how you feel about Galadriel and Sauron in the adaptations after that.

Same people

Always the same people

Did you say you hadn't read The Sil or LOTR?

Poster for the film Weapons (2025).

We saw #Weapons last weekend. Apart from seeing the trailer at the cinema last month I deliberately saw/read nothing about this film.

Loved it. Especially the narrative structure. Scary and funny. #horror

Indeed.

I had a checklist of 10 items after my first marriage ended and having read LOTR was one of those items.

Ohhhhh they melded my insomnia and love of The Elements of Style 😊
