Lots to choose from but I’d love to give Paul Takes The Form Of A Mortal Girl by Andrea Lawlor a shout. Takes you on a real journey.

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to see Starmer again without thinking of George Fouracres saying hello in the strongest possible terms.

My paperback copy arrived just in time for me to devour it this weekend. I adored it. (I hope it’s okay that in my head, Dionysus was a slightly differently attired Nabhaan Rizwan)

Yes I’m a middle aged woman who hasn’t finished Christmas shopping yet but took a little moment to buy herself this Polly Pocket Stranger Things set WHAT OF IT
Stranger Things set from Polly Pocket. A cool very 80s-looking plastic walkie-talkie which opens up to reveal Hawkins High School and the Byers house on one side, and the upside down on the other side. The kids and a demogorgon are there as lil figurines. As if this won’t look awesome in my office.

Relating very hard to this piece, including the screaming and the pps
It just wasn’t all that cathartic, though. This is why I’ve exploded here today, in a way that may seem undignified and will potentially lose me a few friends but I’m just so tired. I can’t bear to wake up every morning and look at my phone and my computer and feel like I’ve lost my mind. It’s torture. It’s torture! I’m not even that much of an idealist but I guess I assumed that people were better than they actually were, for most of my life, and that’s a horrible realisation to come to because I didn’t exactly think humanity was great to begin with.

Turns out I was still being too optimistic! Ha fucking ha! Also, my god: if I’m able to get on my high horse to this extent then we really do have a problem. I really shouldn’t be where the bar is, trust me. I know me pretty well.

The cat to dog ratio on this site is not to my satisfaction and they say you should be the change you want to see, so here are my delicious hounds, Dilly and Joe.
Two greyhounds laying on outrageously large and comfortable dog beds. On the left is Dilly, a black and white moo hound. She’s properly conked out, laying on her side. On the left is Joe, a glossy black hound. He’s awake and contemplating the meaning of life, by the looks of things.

I admit that ADHD has led to me leaping into new hobbies but I can’t say it’s ever made me join a fascist riot, maybe the meds are doing more than I realised

Okay not that I don’t have a life but I’m pretty sure it’s Kate who picked up the tooth at the end of The Giggle, so now I’m thinking a UNIT/Master spin-off arc. Very much here for that. The only remaining issue is… where the heck is Osgood? </Doctor Who nerding>
