This is the most blissful, entertaining, and, at times, mind-boggling read. Wonderful.

To see you through another rainy night. Episode 138 - Ocean peace above Folkestone beach (31 mins) Rising thermals, from far below, carry up the ocean's murmurings. The sound of a cricket merges with the waves. A *sleep safe* episode to take you to bed with summer in your ears > bit.ly/LenFolk2

Dusk. August. Plants against the indigo light.

I hate Christmas, not least because all manner of foolish folk send me cards with robins on them. Hateful birds. Don't they know robins are a death omen? Who in their right minds sends you one of them through the post? The Royal Mail ought to make it illegal. – Shirley Deyne #VOH

There are some places that on approach, we just know to be ghost-soaked. There is a prickling of our psychic skin. An inner voice which repeats one word every louder: Haunted. Our bodies generate gooseflesh, instant headaches – physical warnings of phantom peril. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

I’ve forgotten to plant spring bulbs for the past two years. I’ve bought them … but neglected anything more. Not last autumn! Very happy as there’s loads more around the place

The kids are explaining dark academia to me, and as far as I can tell it involves reading precisely three books and just never getting over it.

I love this! When I'm mentoring YA writers, I always ask what they think of Twilight, and if they're disparaging, I know they don't get YA *at all*. Twilight is beloved because it speaks directly to first teen love. It takes teen love as seriously as teens take it www.theguardian.com/science/2024...

The big idea: why we should take teenage love more seriously

Adolescent passions shape our future selves, and can be every bit as powerful – and perilous – as adult relationships

I was five when I contracted mumps and measles at the same time. I developed optic neuritis, a common measles complication, which took a long time to recover from. But I was fortunate. Vaccinate your kids.

For most of history, the witch has been a creature of the bruised margins – dweller at village edge, the wrong side of the hedge. No true witch lacks empathy for all those others marginalised by society's insane need to other and divide. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

Victorian faery propaganda and even 'The Smurfs' haven't been able to erase the original Amanita muscaria scarelore. For folkloric wisdom is not only knowing a wild growing thing is powerful, but knowing it's not a good idea to pick it. – Dr. M. Benn, 1982 #FolkloreThursday

I think I have found a charming Christmas garland typo. However, if it’s accurate, I bags decorating @davidmuttering.bsky.social

The text describes a workshop to create a Christmas garland. It notes that these are ‘ideal to decorate a window, barrister or fireplace for the festive season.’
