Lime Street Station selfie! I am on my way to Glasgow for Fantasy Con, come and say hi if you see me!

My lovely face! I am a white lady with long dark hair and dark eyes. I am wearing a pale pink top with my signature hare necklace, a purple scarf and a pale blue raincoat with a striped lining

Today I went to Bridgwater Garden and it was so beautiful it was almost painful

Yep, this has been a glaring flaw from the start, but the tech industry appears to blithely assume there will always be Content because there has always been Content in the past.

Surely the optimum time depends on the type of tree… twenty years ago would be ok for something fast-growing like a pine, but for an oak tree you’d want more like a hundred years. So we really need a table of tree species’ growth rates…

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.

Everyone was walking around in sleeveless tops with one shaved armpit and one hairy armpit. It was a whole thing. Some kind of statement about bodily freedom or something . Thanks, brain !

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

It’s interesting that the reason the moderators had a referendum on banning HP wasn’t because of an inherent moral objection, it was because of the constant annoyance of the discourse. So yeah, discourse can work!

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

Even a short message communicates that this is something you care about. Especially if you have a labour MP and/or you live in an affected area, it could make a difference

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.
