Does the term "god botherer" come from the idea that evangelists are bothering people about god? I've always assumed they were bothering god.

One of many stunning/crushing/beautiful love poems to God from Rilke’s Book of Hours #poetrysunday

Tr Macy & Barrows

She who reconciles the ill-matched threads of her life, and weaves them gratefully into a single cloth-
it's she who drives the loudmouths from the hall and clears it for a different celebration
where the one guest is you.
In the softness of evening it's you she receives.
You are the partner of her loneliness, the unspeaking center of her monologues.
With each disclosure you encompass more and she stretches beyond what limits her, to hold you.

Recently realised that the answer I've always given for the identifying question "who was your first kiss?" is WRONG. I was actually smooching some boy a tiny bit at my international guide and scout camp when I was 12 for a couple of days. His name? No idea. Some boring typical white boy name.

Have I overthought it or did non-binary Bella Ramsey sitting in that "castle" with the face of a preteen, hardcore boarding school fits, short dark hair and THOSE black round glasses seem like they was trolling literally everyone... whilst doing nothing at all...? I loved it. Farewell my sweet.

#severance spin-off: basically #thetraitors but all of the contestants are innies. When banished or murdered they actually cease to exist. The winners, however, stay switched on at the end with their cash. Season 2: all of the traitors are outies. Season 3: all of the traitors are innies.

no idea who made this but I think of that random person with gratitude every time I heat up any sort of wraplike food object in the microwave

two scenes from an X-Men animated program: in the first, scott summers and jean gray are making out; he is labeled "microwave heat" and she is labeled "plate." in the second, we are more distant from the couple, and wolverine is standing in the foreground, labeled "my burrito."

Earlier Bob told me about a Daily Mash article: "Perfecting Nuclear Fusion and Other Ways to Pull Hannah Fry", which is British for romantically and/or sexually attracting her. "How would nuclear fusion help?" I asked. I'd misheard and thought it was about saving her from 'murder' on The Traitors.

Heaven help us I've had one of my awful ideas. This one inspired by a pic of the warner bro's tower. What if... the Animaniacs explanatory theme tune, in the style of the theme for Slow Horses. And vice versa. Who am I kidding, just do a whole episode of each 🤷‍♀️

As a person that once saw The Marriage of Figarro for €4 in Vienna... yeah. After I'd been denied entry for wearing my "hotpants" (they were not hotpants) and had to go change to a skirt the same length. I am a bit embarrassed to recall this, but I was poor and didn't know I'd be going to opera!

100% the vibe that Lanterns poster gives off

A two panel cartoon the first showing someone peeing at a urinal, and a second person walking past. Second panel shows rhe second person peeing at the Urinal next to the first. Underneath that is the Lanterns poster with Hal Jordan looking straight forward and John Stewart giving him the angry side eye, the ol’ hairy eyeball.

Last Sunday I got thrown off my get-up routine while crashing really hard and stoned on a whole lot of codeine, took double meds by mistake, and thought I'd skip today's doses to balance it out. So yeah, sertraline's GREAT! 😆 My poor inflamed brain perhaps less so! Bring on the morning I say! 😆😆😆

Those daily mini ghost stories The Uncanny are doing in the run up to Halloween keep reminding me of my Viz ghost box letters page.

Ghost Box fron Viz. Letters spoofing ghost stories. Sorry too much text to transcribe. First letter goes, for example, it was a normal enough day, I had just got back from doing the school run and I was sitting down having a nice cuppa before making a start on the housework. All of a sudden I heard a noise. It was probably a ghost.

A thing I love about living next to a park is that occasionally I’ll be in my back garden and hear some kids messing about in the park followed by the snapping of a tree branch and an 8 year-old voice going “AAH! Bloody hell” and his friend laughing at him.
