“When black cats prowl and pumpkins gleam, may luck be yours on Halloween.” Happy #Halloween all 🎃 🎨 'Jack Jill and Jol' by Margaryta Yermolayeva

Painting of a Halloween scene at night. In the foreground are three black cats, one dressed as a witch, walking on their hind legs and holding pumpkins with carved faces on. In the background are trees with orange leaves. To the left is a large spooky house and in front of it a field with a scarecrow in, and a fence round the field with a crow sitting on it and two more carved pumpkins. On the right is a graveyard with numerous tombstones. Behind it all is a huge yellow Moon with a witch on a broomstick flying in front.

stopped by the old house when I was in town. looks the same, but dad clearly hasn’t been keeping up with the mowing. went to see the dead woman in the well behind the house; she was pretty mad, but ever since I realized she can’t get out she hasn’t been as scary. knew about my kids somehow though

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings. These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate. Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

I was hesitant to blanket block government accounts with this list, and then I saw the kind of crap these accounts are skeeting. Block freely. This list is not a place of honor.

Highly recommend The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet :-) Warm and cuddly sapphic romance with plenty of humour along the way.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Hello. I am a regular but peripheral character in a TV series. This episode I've got a lot of screen time as well as numerous funny/poignant lines and I'm confident this is because I'm about to get a more prominent role and definitely not that I'm about to die in a tragic car accident or something.

A lot of ffrinds seem to be losing loved ones, or loved ones of loved ones recently, and it's made me think a lot about how I deal with grief myself. I wrote this a little for me, and a little for anyone else who struggles. It's okay to grieve, even if you're not the centre. #authorsofbluesky

Hoarder by EM Harding

Some losses don't feel
like mine to grieve
the tissues aren't for me

instead I have bin bags
and boxes
parcel tape and a room

and time enough
to pack up someone
else's whole world.

But when the shelves
are empty and the
carpets are clean

it's hard not to hear
the pipes aching
inside the walls.
