no-one likes the language police so i usually keep my thoughts about fast fashion vocab to myself ... except for my despair over 'get xx out' political headlines which can be traced directly back to davina-era big brother crowds. gaaah.

@juliamarybird.bsky.social’s pin cushion ghost story is a series of tellings that haunt each other in the way families handle & hand on memories like heirlooms: my grandma’s older sister… cooked for Lord and Lady X and saw or said she saw or felt a presence in the kitchen… #GhostFurnitureCatalogue

most amazing outfit spotted on the tube just now: gold and black shot fabric sun ray pleated skirt. near the waistband, a handful of the pleat edges were pierced with rivets, and threaded through the holes were stainless steel belly bars. brought me total joy. additional accessory: a grey labubu

wood pigeon sing-off going on outside my window. the first one is doing the normal pattern - 'i've BROken my toe, i've BROken my toe' but the second one is improvising and adding extra notes. firstly it was 'i've HIDDen the remote' for 10 minutes, now it's 'i FANcy a potato scone' ...
