Victoria

Thank you for posting here, I’ve missed you since I’d left the other place 🥹

@svt.on.computer thank you for all your hard work 🩷🩵

wishing for a 2Seok seasons greetings

my favourite end of year list!

currently -1C, my bin lid is frozen shut, and yet the postman has just turned up wearing shorts. I feel freezing on his behalf

a gorgeous album!

the change could actually help the issue of the barrier to entry for new farmers being so high- if large farms had to sell parcels of land, that frees up some land. In NI the average land prices are highest in the UK - this change could help nudge the price down

farmers think they’ll live forever. What annoys me is the same people who will shout loudly about the importance of a “family farm”, will likely be the same folk unwilling to sign their land on. It’s either a family farm or it’s not

and they haven’t gotten rid of the 7 year rule - sign your land over to your child and if they continue to farm it, and you don’t die in 7 years, no tax

Word of the Day is a true favourite, as some of you will know.

Apricity (17th century) is the warmth of the sun on a winter’s day.

rock band super tuna the most unexpected gift 🎣 Bumzu has made hundreds of amazing songs and I love that his legacy has both Super Tuna and Aju Nice, a perfect pair of unhinged clown music encore songs

didn’t think I’d be spending my Saturday morning sitting thru a ppt about happy, and yet somehow it makes perfect Jin sense

My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer.

Morning.

love that this is one of the top options I get for searching “BTS glitter”

It’s kinda soothing to neatly deal with it and accept it’s never gonna be what it was again!

Still thinking about present shooky and the injustice of international exclusives

finally deactivated my twitter- reached the acceptance stage of grief for the loss of my decade plus online home

feels even more like home now 💜

Word of the Day, should you need it, is ‘latibulate’, a 17th-century verb meaning to find a corner somewhere and hide in it.

I look forward to you bringing some much needed Mingyu content to bluesky

this place really feels like a good new home now

Good morning.

Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.

hey dude, I noticed you attempting to carve a small space for joy in the face of overwhelming sadness. kind of problematic considering all the horrors

A diagram of a complex mechanism for readers. The caption explains “when the quantity of unread books reaches a specific weight, the mechanism restricts the reader’s ability to add to their stockpile until the backlog has been reduced.” The “restriction” is achieved by placing a cloche over the reader’s credit card, library card and bookshop loyalty card, and smashing their internet router with a mallet.

Some pale orange dahlias

The garden is putting on a lovely display of dahlias this year. This one is my wee favourite

As autumn heads sharply into winter, skimming through my camera roll to escape back to some late summer moments
