Hey #Bluesky peeps, what are your favorite #Christmas / #Holiday #crafts you’ve created. Mine is definitely this shadow box Christmas tree I made with my grandson Damian (at age 4). I mounted the paper backing, and outlined the tree. He decided how to fill it in, and where everything else went.

“Women have curious ways of hurting someone else. They hurt themselves instead; or else they do it so the guy doesn't even know he's been hurt until much later. Then he finds out. Then his dick falls off.” Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin #ClassicLitMonday #AuthorsBornOnThisDay
Retro book cover for Margaret Atwood’s novel THE BLIND ASSASSIN 

Features an illustration of a platinum blonde woman in a red dress, leaning against an ornate railing, with purple background.

🎶Titus Andronicus, my favorite play by Shakespeare. Titus Andronicus, where Mr. Shakespeare makes clear — That Elizabethan drama need not bore, If it’s got a plot with a lot of blood and gore. Titus Andronicus was written in the days, Before old Bill got wrapped up in pomposity…🎶
