MS's grammar check has always been appalling but this is a new low for me.
A screengrab of an Outlook email-in-progress (names blanked out), reading "Hi S - These look good to me, handing off to X." Below the sentence, Outlook's Grammar Check is telling me to double-check whether the noun is singular or plural, and is offering me the 'better' options of 'This look' or 'These looks'. /end ID

#LGBTQWriteAThon "The Lion's Paw" is a novel about an immortal woman whose past (and previous lovers, alive and dead) catch up with her all at once. Dark Shadows meets Orlando meets Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. Spiritualism, messy artists and messier bisexuals.
A moodboard for the novel described in the skeet, with various images, consisting of: A 19th-century spirit photograph, a stock photo of an hour glass with sand running through it, two black and white images of flappers, a line drawing of an octagon-shaped house, and a screengrab of Dark Shadows actress Nancy Barrett

Oh this reminds me of the dress in Rose in Bloom that Rosie and Mac roast so unmercifully.
An excerpt from Chapter 12 "At Kitty's Ball" of "Rose in Bloom" by Louisa May Alcott. Excerpt reads: 

“How would Emma do?” inquired Rose, whose sense of the ludicrous was strong and who could not resist the temptation of horrifying Mac by the suggestion.

“Never! It sets my teeth on edge to look at her tonight. I suppose that dress is 'a sweet thing just out,' but upon my word she reminds me of nothing but a Harlequin ice,” and Mac turned his back on her with a shudder, for he was sensitive to discords of all kinds.

“She certainly does, and that mixture of chocolate, pea green, and pink is simply detestable, though many people would consider it decidedly 'chic,' to use her favorite word. I suppose you will dress your wife like a Spartan matron of the time of Lycurgus,” added Rose, much tickled by his new conceit.

Me and my comfort book:
The cover of the original US paperback edition of "Inside the Victorian Home: A Portrait of Domestic Life in Victorian England" by Judith Flanders. The cover is cream-coloured with red and black text. There is a reproduction of WP Frith's painting of his daughter's birthday entitled "Many Happy Returns" as an example of Victorian middle-class domesticity, which the book examines by exploring the middle-class home room by room, via primary sources, contemporary advice manuals, and Victorian novels. Yes, it is genuinely my favourite book.

A 19th century shop that has been converted into a coffeeshop, which fronts a road. The day is extremely foggy and the porch of the shop is hung with orange Halloween lights. The trees are bare because it is autumn, and the whole vibe is chilly and spooky but also inviting, with the promise of cinnamon rolls and good coffee.

Sat down to do some research for an upcoming Patreon post, opened my bookmarked links to create a new folder... and discovered that I already did this research. A year and 3 days ago. Time is a flat circle and I just think of Windsor, Ontario every June for some reason.

A screengrab of text from the Wikipedia page for "Gender in English." Text reads "Usage in English has evolved with regards to an emerging preference for gender-neutral language. There is now large-scale use of epicene 'they' as a third-person singular instead of the default generic 'he' when referring to a person of unknown gender."
