Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 09/12/2024You know how we’re calling posts on here skeets as a replacement for tweets? I did *not* know this and have taken to calling them bleats bc we’re all just bleating into the ether and honestly I think my word is better 5171
Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Yup, I’m a total nerd when it comes to Liverpool history 🤷🏻♀️❤️ 061
Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Aaah thank you so much! Yeah, I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to Liverpool history 😂 Really pleased you’re enjoying it ❤️ 020
Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 26/11/2024I’m not overly fussed about Xmas and I’m not someone who goes in for major festive decorating but I am also not someone who can walk past offensively pink tinsel and a glittery swan on a shelf in the Range without purchasing said tackiness 🤷🏻♀️ 1100

Happy birthday to Jacinta, 9, who's going on a trip up Everest after her cor anglais exam, and Mungo, 7, who will be invested as Archbishop of York after his PhD viva on the origins of Mandarin. 2146476

Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 15/11/2024TIL that wombats can run at up to 25mph?? NGL, I kind of want to get chased down by a wombat now 🤷🏻♀️ 220

Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 14/11/2024Aaaaah, just received my contributor’s copy of the upcoming Cthulhu by Gaslight from @chaosium.bsky.social and it is a thing of absolute beauty 🖤 So, so proud to have been part of this 🌟 #chaosium #cthulhubygaslight #callofcthulhu #rpg 1121
Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 12/11/2024Okay I’m trying this again. What have I missed? HMU with recs for following? Writing, UF, history, all that jazz 🙌🏻🌟 130

Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 13/11/2023‘Lydia Lunch and Marc Hurtado perform the music of Suicide and Alan Vega’ - less a gig, more an art installation. Absolutely fucking brilliant 🖤 040
Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 11/11/2023Ooh ooh look what the postie just delivered *skips happily* 🌟❤️ Got the whole set of waterfront ones now. Imma blu-tac them to my bedroom wall* and make ONE GIGANTIC MAP 🤩 (*I’m not losing the plot <entirely> it’s just that my work desk is in my bedroom 👍🏻) mybook.to/redanddead 060
Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 11/11/2023But have you ever written a history book in which you accidentally misnamed Mary sodding Shelley and it is still in print like that and you CRINGE cos it keeps being put on display in major bookstores and all you can think is ‘oh god oh god oh god 😩’? I have 💀 000
Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 07/11/2023I just discovered there was once a Christmas play put on the Royal Court Theatre in Liverpool called 'The Hitchhiker's Guide To Fazakerly' and NGL I would pay good money to see that 060
Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 29/10/2023Get yourself a man who knows what you REALLY want to do on your birthday and makes sure it happens🤩❤️ 110
Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 28/10/2023My dad (gawdrestissoul) would have liked this—he’d regularly declare ‘you should end a sentence on a preposition never’ and then chortle like the evil gremlin he truly was 020
Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 27/10/2023I’ve just spent an hour fixing some tiny-but-incredibly-irritating punctuation errors in a book that has been out for a year. Then got a message from amazon warning I had to un-capitalise the word ‘Black’ (in ref to someone’s race) or it’d be marked as an error. Couldn’t make this shit up 🙄 000
Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 27/10/2023International spy agencies could learn a lot from typos, which are somehow capable of hiding thru seventy-six (approx) rounds of edits then popping up to give me the finger six months after the bastard thing’s been published 120
Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 27/10/2023Pretty sure the sparrows can stick up for themselves. Mine’s a tenner on the little one at the back, he’s got a vicious glint in his eye 000
Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 27/10/2023That bird definitely looks like it would be fun down the pub tbf 😂 100
Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 26/10/2023Same. I was a school governor for a while and to this day, state schools are required to hold daily ‘collective worship’, regardless of their religious status (or lack thereof). Lots of heads get round it by just doing general assemblies these days 000
Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 26/10/2023Ooh I bloody love a good church, me. Especially the really old ones 110
Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 26/10/2023I’ve got the first of those on my kindle but haven’t started yet (woe to the eternal TBR pile) 100
Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 26/10/2023You are welcome 👍🏻😂 and yes, very earwormy! I reckon it’s a hangover of daily school assemblies in the 70s-80s, they bloody loved a good hymn (can confirm I also still know the words to We Plough The Fields And Scatter) 210
Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 26/10/2023Anyway if anyone can tell me why I—a vehement opponent of organised religion—have been humming ‘To Be A Pilgrim’ all day, that would be great 340
Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 26/10/2023So basically I’m following any accounts that a)I already know; b)seem like they might be fun in the pub; or c)post pics of animals and/or birds. That’s how this works, right? 380

Violet Fenn @violetfenn.bsky.social · 26/10/2023Everyone should have the confidence of Mr Bobinski wedging himself into my neck when I make the mistake of lying down for more than thirty seconds (don’t wedge yourself into strangers necks tho, that shit gets you arrested) 0110
