Not only is Topping Books packed with books and *customers*, but you get to use the library ladders!

Tall packed bookshelves and a leaning ladder attached to a metal rail.

i wonder how long #Apocalypse can go before there’s an intervention to stop Scott from roping his teammates to trees as bait for coyotes. it’s taken Channel 4 a year to produce this show and maybe six months to edit, so i reckon it was weird-tough to do.

Can’t stand these sort of signs and the pathetic thought processes behind them. Nobody who throws rocks cares. “Oh well there wasn’t a sign, so…” The council is pandering.

A sign on a concrete wall overlooking a children’s park. “Please DO NOT throw rocks into the pool”

i want you to show you this dog again

On sofa, but his head is right against the arm so his hair is mussed. Big floppy ear. Side eye makes him look like a womble. Black and white springer spaniel type dog.

This jade plant is so small, instead of growing fat leaves it’s starting with cup-like cotyledons.

Tiny plant in dark soil. Three leaves, two of which are fleshy cylinders.

LARGER PIECES OF PACKAGING RECYCLE MORE EASILY — says the KitKat that can only be recycled at a supermarket. So, um, just how easy, then?

Suspension of disbelief? I’ve heard of it. I will likely regret watching The Last House (Netflix); the trailer shows the family trapped in their home for years(?) and growing crops in their front room to feed themselves. Oh ok 🌾🌽

This is the end of the world; three meters of clay-rich earth, protecting and being the very land under our feet.

A tall, reddish-brown eroding coastal cliff rises sharply from a wide sandy beach under an overcast sky. Deep vertical cracks and exposed roots are visible in the cliff face, while the beach stretches into the distance with scattered seaweed, a few distant walkers, and low headlands on the horizon.

Reeling at this promo pic of my town. I’ve highlighted the things that never happen here, and the people that don’t exist outside London.

Rahul Kohli just left Bluesky. Oof, this is damning. I mean, I won’t last another year on *any* network, but this is damning aye.

I've wanted to reduce the apps I have on my phone and the social media accounts I've accumulated.
Unfortunately I can't find a decent reason to use Bluesky and it's on the chopping block.
If we're close enough, text me if you need me, and if we're internet friends I'll see you on Insta DM's

Do you have a kite festival? Sucks to be you then. Redcar has a kite festival. Lots of dogs and food trucks too, although a great many children too.
