Star Trek Deep Space 9 scene. Quark, a Ferengi alien with a smooth bald butt shaped dome, giant ears that sort of continue on to become a unibrow and a large ridged nose that looks like a pine cone, is standing and holding a hand over his heart & looking content. Closed caption reads, "So blessed."

I spent the weekend at The Standard hotel in King's Cross for my mum's birthday. It's a very lovely hotel but these are their less-than-lovely Christmas decorations. (In fact, it's because they've donated the money they would have spent on Christmas decs to the Trussell Trust, so fair enough.)

Wedging the kitchen drawer shut was only the start of its reign of terror.
the cover of a pulp novel called The Long Spoon by J.B. O'Sullivan. Spoiler: it's not actually about cutlery (I haven't read it but am guessing this). It's a reference to the saying that if you sup with the devil, you need a long spoon.

Leg Day London 10/25 Never a dull day on London's tube. #photography #london #street #streetportrait #streetphotography #people #portrait #monochrome #subway #legday #tube
The image captures a candid moment in a train station, rendered in grayscale. The central focus is a man with a backpack, turned to his right, carrying a large, sculpted leg under his arm. The leg is a light color, contrasting with the man's dark clothing and the surroundings. He has a beard and visible arm tattoos.

Behind him, a train is visible, with its doors and windows partially obscured. Passengers are waiting, some with backpacks and coats. Their faces and expressions are mostly hidden, emphasizing the sense of anonymity of a public space.

Can you really even call yourself a writer if you've never used an ellipsis... (a parenthetical aside) and an em dash—in the same paragraph? (this is a joke, don't yell at me) (but also, I just did this, no regrets)

We wake to mornings of cold magic. Exhale dragon-breath, crunch frost-frozen leaves as we walk. The year is dying. We feel it as rush of ghosts, a shivering that foretells the blade of ice upon its neck. No wonder this is the season where folklore burns bright. – #DAKilroy, 1982 #Folklore

When you finish a book and you just know when you go onto goodreads the ratings will be abysmal because so many people hate a story that doesn't do the things they want it to, instead of appreciating that an author is doing their own damn thing.

Fallen maple leaves on grass; the leaves range in color from green to red, yellow, and brown. Raindrops rest on the surfaces of some of the leaves.

Star Trek Discovery scene. Michael Burnham and Tilly are in the dining hall. Both are wearing gym clothes that say DISCO on the front. Burnham is standing and observing Tilly like a disappointed teacher. Tilly is leaning in towards a food replicator, extending her head towards its panel. Closed caption reads, "Computer, add salsa."

People sometimes say “I miss linear television” or “I can’t focus on a film without looking at my phone” or “I struggle to read a book” as if someone banned this stuff. You just have to make a slight effort to engage with full-focus experiences. But you’re allowed to.

it’s important to find time in your day to just switch your mind off and do nothing. it might be first thing in the morning, it might be last thing at night, or - and this is surprisingly popular - it might be when you get to the ticket barriers at waterloo. just take care of yourself, guys.

Yesterday, I read a poem which referred to a telescope as a 'sight-invigorating tube' I think this is delightful and want to see a similar approach used to name other items. A cup might be a 'drink-bequeathing receptacle' A brush could be a 'hair-enrapturing hedgehog.' Feel free to jump in.

While the future removal of #StarTrekProdigy on Netflix is disconcerting, it has little to do with lack of viewership or anything nefarious. We’ve come to learn the license for S1 is up June 24, and S2 Dec 31. We hold out hope someone will pick it up. The next generation of trek fans deserve it.

Folklore dissolves time. Folklore is the simultaneous landscape of stories. For folklore is the past holding hands with the now as it walks into tomorrow. Ancient magical beasts and the singing of transmission towers all at once. To walk folklore is to walk wonder. – Dr. M. Benn, 1982 #Folklore
