I had to take a semi-ish professional photo of myself for a thing and, naturally, I have an outtake to share.

3 panels:
1) Eowyn says "I am no man" and then makes a crazed face before stabbing the Witch-King of Angmar
2) me making a crazed face while holding my book open in front of me
3) Pam from The Office says "They're the same picture."

It'd be cool if someone would just pay me to go around to different museums and write about it. I really like museums. #history Museum Visit — Canada’s Forgotten Shipwreck jillhamilton.ca/museum-visit...

Just rediscovered this sassy bitch on my phone. Alexander the Great is SO over it. #ArtHistory

Master of the Griselda Legend
Alexander the Great
Siena, about 1494
Photo taken September 2025 at The Courtauld Gallery, London

Hand on jaunty hip, Alexander is depicted standing on a plinth. He’s got long blond hair, brown boots, pink-red tights and his other hand is resting on his sword (scabbard?). His face reads as bored. There are tents set up behind him, as if a battle has just occurred.

This movie is insane (in a chaotic sort of way). And kinda gross (in a bodily fluids sort of way). Richard E. Grant is a delight to watch (in a “Damn, that man is extra af with a tinge of darkness underneath” sort of way). Hated the lighting (in a The Favourite sort of way). #perioddramas #movies

Running with a water bottle is the worst

Picture of a person pouring water into a TINY plastic hole on a watch device. So it’s like 3ml of water in a water you can sip while you run.

This Green Gables LEGO set is almost at 4k and it needs 10k to be a serious contender for a future set. Keep sharing! #booksky ideas.lego.com/product-idea...

Matthew and Anne are approaching in a carriage, Marilla is at the door, and Diana and Gilbert are coming around the corner

Just finished this DEEEEELIGHTFUL contemporary romance. Looooved it. Retelling of You’ve Got Mail, enemies to friends to lovers, reverse grumpy sunshine, bookworm leads. Laugh-out-loud funny, touching, amusingly self-aware. I definitely need more bookstore romances now. #romancelandia #booksky

Yes. That sounds truly horrendous. Can you imagine just a debacle? #history (Excerpt from Quackery: A Brief History of the Worst Ways to Cure Everything that hit a little too close to home)

Lincoln, to his credit, seemed to recognize that the blue mass [mercury tablet] might be making him worse rather than better, and he apparently decreased his use once he entered the White House. And not a moment too soon. One shudders to imagine a mercury-toxic, pathologically moody leader of our nation calling the shots during the Civil War.

I have watched the WISHBONE documentary. Suddenly revisiting my previous idea of getting a Wishbone/Odysseus tattoo. Side note for Christopher Nolan specifically: notice how Wishbone isn’t wearing pants? THAT’S HOW THE GREEKS DID IT.

Wishbone in his Greek Odysseus outfit, looking very stoic

This portrait was done when powdered wigs were the norm. I loooove that this young man with his glorious locks was like "NO. I DON'T NEED YOUR BULLSHIT POWDERED WIG, SIR. LOOK AT THIS MANE. LOOK. AT. IT. WHY WOULD I COVER THESE PERFECT TRESSES?" #history

1789 portrait of Henry Herbert, 2nd Earl of Carnarvon, age 17 - he is wearing a very nice brown jacket with a very high collar. His cravat is a ruffle of white lace at his throat. He has fair skin, dark eyes and the most glorious mane of dark wavy hair I have ever seen in a man's portrait, especially in this period

Posted 10 years ago. Oh, I thought I owned too many books THEN? Oh. Oh how naive I was. #booksky

Things I learned while moving
today:
1. I own too many books.
2. Books are heavy.
3. @ColbyGC doesn't actually own anything.

I always thought Caroline of Brunswick should get a biopic. Now I’m 100% certain it’s a full-on crime if she doesn’t get a movie. This book is fun, it’s got intrigue and drama, Italian villas, and stars a baddie. Fantastic. Someone adapt this right the heck now. #booksky #history #nonfiction 💙📚

Nothing says “I care about you and the challenges you’re dealing with” like using a canned AI response from Gmail.

The bullshit AI magic pencil icon next to Suggestions. The first option underneath says “Sorry to hear that. Oh man, that is a lot for everyone to…” and there is another option next to it cut off.

A *very* strong start for BBC’s new #JaneAusten adaptation, #TheOtherBennetSister. The Janice Hadlow novel was great, and this series seems like it could really be something great to add to the Austensphere. #costumedramas #perioddramas 📺 #historicalfiction
