Attended the @mybcu.bsky.social #CentreforHumanRights 10 year anniversary celebration last week and it was wonderful to hear such inspiring talks and to know I’m part of a fab community

One of the joys about the cold weather is the perpetual excuse to curl up in bed with a book 🖤

To the man at the bus stop opposite my flat who watched me absolutely pound a can of iced coffee while wearing a handband with bat ears on and sitting in my window at 5:30am, you’re welcome. There will be no further questions at this time.

watching the beginning of S2E10 of Fantasy High: Sophmore Year while on pain meds for a broken foot is truly wild @dropout.tv @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social

I find it super interesting that Lilith supposedly became a succubus following her expulsion from Eden for refusing to submit to Adam/lay beneath him, but the etymology of the term succubus is literally to lay under (sub- 'under' and cubare 'to lie'). Not point to this really, just today's thought.

I regulaurly think about how much I would love (and I think we all deserve) a media adaptation of The Blazing World by Margaret Cavendish, but *only* if it's done beautifully. What adaptations would you love to see?

Full of chickpea and potato curry, glass of red waiting, true crime on (sorry not sorry) in the background, and a film theory book in my lap, rain outside. What a delightful Saturday evening 🖤📖🍷

This is the most British experience of a storm I've ever seen. A crisp packet lmao
Screenshot from the bbc live feed covering Storm Darragh:

Stuart - from Crewkerne - called into BBC Radio Somerset to say some roads are passable but drivers need to be very careful.

He said he was travelling on the M5 for Crewkerne to support farmers with tractors.

"Please everybody be careful on the M5," he warned the programme. "Vehicles were getting blown across the carriageways so just be careful.

"You know it's windy when you get overtaken on the M5 by a crisp packet." '

Today I have waved at three separate individuals thinking I knew them, only for them to just be people who look very similar. Get me home now please.

I always feel guilty watching media texts for research but I really need to get over it

Look… I just want to be a silly little succubi, and kiss silly little men, and steal their silly little souls. Is that too much to ask?

Here's a good Halloween story, recently I heard my wife say "goddamn the tits on this vampire lady" and sure enough when I walked into the living room Ingrid Pitt was on TV
Ingrid Pitt as a vampire lady, hissing.

I honestly am still baffled that there werewolf trials are only ever a passing footnote when discussing the witch trials. Over 30,000 people were murdered for 'being a werewolf'. Do you know how much I would read about this? - unfortunately not my area of expertise.
