I'm in a bookshop so it feels obligatory

Pile of John Green's Hollywood, Ending, the signed Waterstones edition, nestled among other books.

Adele Taylor (pthagonal) @adeletaylor.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I don't have many to compare it to, but I think this is a pretty decent signature, despite the slight fade on the upstroke of the J. Mostly the lines are full and bold, the loop is good and the scribble aesthetically pleasing at least to my untrained eye. 4 stars.

Signed page from the UK edition of Hollywood, Ending.
It reads:
Exclusive Signed Edition
Then there is a J-scribble in green.

Was lying in bed, feeling very down, and there was a knock at the door. The postie with my last physical #P4A perk. It is exactly the book I hoped it would be.

Half title page of The Anthropocene Reviewed (hardback). There is a J squiggle in a dark blue (possibly Intergalactic Indigo?!) and DFTBA written underneath.

What was it @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social said about hope? "It is not always rewarded but it is always justified"? Something like that.

Failed to take many photos, but the bookshop obviously had a @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social fan on staff

Bookshelf full of YA books including Turtles All The Way Down and a recommendation note which reads "My personal favourite John Green book 'turtles all the way down' follows Aza as she arrives to solve a mystery while struggling with her OCD. Infinitely gripping, heartfelt and it shook me to my core. Please read it! - Isabella"

Same bookshelf a bit further on and another note for The Fault in Our Stars: "absolutely stunning a childhood classic for a reason, this was my all-time favourite, guaranteed-to-make -me-cry read as a tween. Please do yourself a favour and read it! - Isabella"

Right, let's give this a go (at least until the NHS gets back to me).

The Dialectical Behaviour Therapy Skills Workbook (second edition). It is a chonk.

Was pondering wearing a dress to xmas do but decided for pizza John instead. I've worked there for five years, they know I'm weird by now.

Only just noticed that Benedict has emerged from the corner office and been tinseled.

Checked in and so ready for bed. Forgot how to speak briefly but the receptionist was very nice.

This is what I get for procrastinating in getting vaccinated I guess.

My first cup of Octavia - it's so good you guys

A white mug with "#! /bin/coffee" in black text on it, containing a dark brown, almost black, liquid. The mug is resting on a dirty coaster with a pen and post-it notes beside it. Behind the mug, propped up against a magazine file, is a yellow post-it with several lines written in biro - the only one fully visible is "This too shall pass"

Saw the first image on a Facebook post describing literary movements yesterday and thought "that's very @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social coded" and then saw the second one immediately afterwards

Pizzamas order (1 of 2) arrived! Remains to be seen whether my son will allow me to wear this in public.

I think at this point I should just throw the journal in the bin. It may be doing my mental health more harm than good. And I feel bad because it is so thoughtfully written as a book and it is certainly not the author's fault that it keeps hitting up against triggers for my suicidal ideation.

The best thing about the delay to the "We never left the water" shirt being shipped is I completely forgot it wasn't the only thing I'd ordered so this morning's post was a very pleasant surprise.

A blue T-shirt with various fish, the only letters visible are NEVER, THE, and TER as lying on top is The Anthropocene Reviewed zine and vlogbrothers' The Format mug.

Nothing like reviewers' comments to ruin your morning. Fortunately, I have cake. And a paper to read for journal club. Shockingly, this wasn't my pick. I'm sure I remember @hankgreen.bsky.social mentioning this in a video? I may have to find it to share...

Article titled "Tattoo ink exposure is associated with lymphoma and skin cancer - a Danish study of twins"

My P4A merch arrived! I splurged so much! I had forgotten! And I knew the risk in ordering two lots of mystery perks, I don't mind.

A cluttered table with D&D books and scissors in the background (because of course I didn't tidy before taking the photo!)
A huge stack of miscellaneous Project for Awesome merch including magnets, sharpies, temporary tattoos and pennies on a T-shirt, and two almost identical piles of a zine, postcards and...hanklerfish art.

I shouldn't be too mean about him though. He did buy me presents at the weekend just 'cos.

Obviously I am mostly here to see people and maybe even larp, but it is also just a nice, peaceful, place to be.

I think I'm ready. At least in terms of all the stuff I need.

I don't think I've left myself enough time for the British Library so I'm just chilling before my train. I've realised I've been sticking to chains like Costa and Pizza Express because it fools my anxious brain into thinking I've been there before and I guess that's ok, actually.

I mean, seriously. Feels more like a leaflet from Reform than a museum display.

THE DISADVANTAGES

The cost of building and maintaining wind farms is so high that the electricity produced costs about twice as much and has to be heavily subsidised.

Even in the windiest areas the average wind farm works at only 35% of its designed capacity.

Because wind farms do not work all the time, conventional power stations have to be retained to back them up when the wind is not blowing. Although 2,000 aero-generators have been built, there has been no corresponding reduction in conventional power stations.

The power produced by the wind varies with the cube of the wind speed so the power fluctuates wildly.

Conventional power stations work most efficiently and cleanly when they run at a constant speed so the introduction of sudden fluctuations in the grid system makes them less efficient and more polluting.

Electricity cannot be stored except in small quantities, so it is not possible to make use of power generated when it is not needed.

Day 2 of London will be mostly museums, starting with Wimbledon Windmill Museum. It is pretty interesting but I feel like the info on wind generated electricity is a bit out of date and overemphasises downsides.
