Alan Moore is the antithesis of those entitled narcissistic brats born into wealth who wish to lead the world - a kind mind with a vast imagination that’s brimful of empathy and curiosity www.theguardian.com/books/2024/o...

Enthusiasm can be a productive force for good, but our culture has rapidly become a fan-based landscape that the rest of us are merely living in

As I said, I do have reading material to keep me occupied... #poeticedda #asatru #antifascist #universalist

Caroline Larrington's translation of the Poetic Eddas. A book to keep me company.

Currently sitting in my favourite bar with a copy of the poetic Edda and a pint of cider. Today is the November Moot of Salgofnir's Call Heathen Kindred, our effort to give something back to the heathen community.

The dumbest part isn’t thinking that the CIA could create someone successful like Taylor Swift. The dumbest part is thinking they’d use her to elect Joe Biden, instead of using her to make lots of money to fund right-wing terrorists and overthrow democratically elected governments.

BBCR4 sounding like the #dailyheil today. Talking to the brother of a teen killed while trying to reach the UK by "small boat", they asked; "Do you think he should've stayed in Syria?". You're talking to a grieving family member, not admonishing a kid who's been sick after eating too many sweets!

Funny how your attitude to the festive decorations changes, once the big day has passed.

My Christmas cold is developing nicely. Dowsing it in beer makes for a very drowsy Damian. As we're in #chrimbolimbo though, that's hardly a big deal.

Why does the climax of every film or TV show have to occur at night or in a darkened room. I can see fuck all that transpires on my TV screen. Kudos in 2024 for all narratives that conclude in a well lit environment.

Last night, my wife and I drove to Manchester to attend the Sisters of Mercy gig at Manchester Academy. I'd been looking forward to it as we'd had the tickets ages and we weren't disappointed. Met up with some friends there, too. That just made the night even better still. #goth

the most important part of any website is having it reload after you scroll down about 30 or 40 pages so you have to try to scroll down to find where you left off. Once you add this feature to your website it is ready for public use
