Piddington independence celebrations. Sagging bunting in village hall. Border wall grows ever higher, constructed out of uncollected bin bags. Ed Sheeran strums quietly, trying to rhyme 'Piddington' with 'Independence' like he promised.

The horrors persist but so do books, flowers, animals, the ocean, sunsets, trees, libraries, iced coffee, spooky season, the word ‘fuck’, and the moon.

by the way, the book in question here was Wickhills, which is GREAT (review coming!) and you should definitely pick it up so you can read it instead of doing all the things on YOUR to-do list, do recommend, excellent use of time, A++

I downloaded The Butcher of the Forest on @libro.fm the other day and it is SO good. (Okay, so I might not get out alive but the key thing is that it's a great read, you see.)

What if we...

a button design: button is yellow and black for aposematic purposes, and reads 'if you use a.i. don't talk to me, i will bite your face clean off your skull.' in the middle is a bitey-looking beetle with a little skull making a sad face above its mandibles.

For a moment I thought this might be a job at the Beano and I could wear my Dennis the Menace Fan Club badge. Sadly for me, it's at Stylist, a fine publication but lacking Gnasher and the Bash Street Kids.

Daybreak in the wreck of Dogger. Gulls drifting over the slowly rising sea. Seals hauled out on sandbanks, bleached ribs of stranded whales. Dunlin and knot, swarming the mudflats, armies of silt-spearing godwit and whaup. 'Eely' Steve Ely £2 off until 24 July longbarrowpress.com/current-publ...

Three copies of 'Eely' by Steve Ely on a bed of crumpled paper.

Ok I have an idea. You ask me a question. Any question you like. I chug 500 mL of water and then tell you you’re very pretty before I make up a random answer, untethered from reality. In return you give me a billion dollars AND I’ll come to your house and leave the fridge door open.
