Richard Blandford @rblandford.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I'm probably going to disappear for a slight bit, not in a huff or anything, but I'm curious to rediscover what life was like before someone turned the opinion tap on. If anyone needs me for anything, I'm incredibly easy to find. 190
Richard Blandford @rblandford.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Look, I wrote a semi-autobiographical novel explaining everything. I'm not sure what more I can do for people. 040
Richard Blandford @rblandford.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I think most middle-aged people who are now nice are haunted by their nineties selves, who were arseholes. 040
Richard Blandford @rblandford.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Diana dying was weird because I thought of her as someone from the eighties. It was like Simon le Bon had died and everyone was ridiculously sad. 000
Richard Blandford @rblandford.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Willy Wonka loves making chocolate but hates any kid who eats it. I wonder if that says anything about Dahl's relationship with his readers. 071
Richard Blandford @rblandford.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Was thinking I need a Roald Dahl-type writing shed but then remembered everyone would think it was my 'writing' shed. 020

Richard Blandford @rblandford.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Reading Cold Comfort Farm. What gets lost these days is that it's partly a parody of Gone to Earth by Mary Webb, which of course was adapted by Powell and Pressberger. 052

Richard Blandford @rblandford.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Public sculptures are usually shit. They should put things like Rodin's The Kiss on roundabouts instead because they're better. 130

Richard Blandford @rblandford.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Museums. Please arrange your stuff in roughly the order things happened instead of contextless conceptual displays. You're not upholding the patriarchy or anything by having it make some sort of historical sense. IT'S FINE. 181
