I see what they did there.

"Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) are scrambling to find 100,000 organic eggs that were stolen in a nighttime egg heist. The Chambersburg Patrol Unit responded to Pete and Gerry's Organics in Greencastle at 8:40 p.m. on Feb. 1 to investigate a theft."

I wonder if Jane Austen would have been amused to know that some of her most-quoted lines of dialogue were said by some of her most unlikeable characters, usually in an effort to sound impressive

We hates it, precious. Well, "hate" is a bit strong but I don't like it. But *waving cane vigorously* if it brings the Young Persons into the Janeite fold, I can live with them.

Overton Jane Austen Trails @janeaustentrails.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

31 Jan 1902, ‘Jane Austen Her Homes and Her Friends’ by Constance Hill was advertised for sale. She had gone on a Jane Austen 'pilgrimage' with her artist sister, Ellen. We can compare the places they saw in 1901 with the locations on the Overton to Steventon trail. #JaneAusten #Hampshire #UKSPF

The Google AI just told me that Little Women and Mansfield Park were both written by Jane Austen

Finished the sewing on the Jane Austen cross stitch quote. Let's see how long it takes me to get around to framing it now 😄 #JaneAusten #FemaleEmpowerment

Completed but unframed cross stitch of a Jane Austen quote 'if adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad' in green and mauve thread. Enclosed in a brown single stitch width border, with green vines and leaves and burgundy flowers

My cartoon for this week’s Guardian books…

Image: A bedroom at night, a face is lit up by the glow of a phone screen displaying cat memes. On the book-cluttered bedside table, three books look on angrily. The lead book waves a large knife and says: "Nobody needs to get hurt... Let's just put the phone down, nice and slowly..."

Caption: Bedside reading pile turns nasty

In my opinion "Twitter" is whichever place most embodies the poster's spirit, and that's here now

The reason I'm so positive about aspiring writers is that I believe that: * Anyone who can string a sentence together can write a story, script or book. * Anyone who puts enough time, effort, and workshopping into it can write a GOOD story, script, or book. * Anything finished can be fixed.

And in case you're wondering, right now I'm crocheting a plaid pumpkin. No, really.

You know, I wasn't really having problems on Twitter but I'm so sad at what it has become. I joined in 2007 and it was always my favorite social media platform. But Bluesky is welcoming and so far, so good!
