Looking back through old screenshots and found one of a wasps’ nest filled with paralysed spiders ready to be eaten alive by the wasp larvae and I’m wondering exactly *why* I thought this nightmarish image was worth preserving

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

Had a dream last night that I forgot to shave one of my armpits and I went out in a sleeveless top with one hairy pit and inadvertently started a new fashion trend.

Browsing K-beauty and Boots the chemist have really let themselves down with this one!! I’d have bought this advent calendar if it came in nice packaging but instead we have this ghastly slop. Yuck.

A K-beauty advent calendar with a hideous AI slop design featuring a pink gingerbread train that somehow has snow globes in the front and sides?? Honestly if you’re reading this alt-text because you can’t see the picture you’re lucky because it’s truly horrendous

if you say "The Museum of English Rural Life" three times in a mirror, nothing happens. but if you speak it a fourth time, a man in a smock appears and asks you to incant the poem on the side of this rather menacing jug

harvest festival jug featuring a rather spooky sunshine design

the reverse of the jug, featuring a poem. it reads: "Harvest is come all
busy now in making
of the Barley mow if
you the Barley mow
neglect of Good ale you

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.

A lovely mossy boulder with a face. I walked past this venerable stone gentleman on Dartmoor when I was beginning to write my first novel, Villager, and it whispered all 104,000 words of the book to me. So now I have to pay it all of my royalties. Unfortunately my ex-publisher stopped paying me royalties last year. Understandable, the boulder was not happy. But now I have a new publisher and the book has been republished. So remember if you purchase a copy you will be helping a boulder to eat, pay the rent on his riverside moss garden, and feed his boulder family.

AI boosters take it for granted that the best business model is "flood the market with spam." But it isn't! That's actually a very marginal business model! A far better business model is to create one thing that people really like. I wrote about this a while back: medium.com/@gwenckatz/d...

Acorn palette. There’s evidence that the human brain really likes gentle colour gradations (probs due to ancient foraging mental reward pathways) so this is for your noggin-pause & zoom in for a tiny break from angsty scrolling with some nice nuts 🌿

Acorns at various stages of ripeness arranged on buff coloured linen so the colours shift gently, with a hand written label & single oak leaf

In a dive bar somewhere in Appalachia a woman whose hair used to be auburn and whose eyes are still green is sinking shots of whiskey. “I coulda had her man, yknow,” she says to the bartender as he pours her another. “But after all these years, I can’t remember him. I can only remember her smile.”

I think everyone should see this incredible picture of Dolly Parton: it’s by Stacie Williams (asterosperma on Instagram) and it’s called The Queen of Appalachia

A stunning screenprint image in a style which is part folk art, part religious icon. Dolly Parton sits on a throne-like wooden chair, surrounded by garlands of flowers and leaves. Orange butterflies (I think they are monarchs?) hover around her head. Her hair is huge and golden, and she is wearing a long, sweeping orange gown, which is turned up over her knee to show off her brown knee length high heeled boots. Two black bear cubs play around her, one on the floor and one in her lap. Dolly stares calmly at the viewer. Her right hand is raised in benediction, and in her left she holds a ripe strawberry which she is feeding to one of the bear cubs.
