I can see that

The booke of love ys long & boringe
No folk kan lyft the damned thinge
Crammid ful of charters & lore & rubrics
And ynstructiouns for daunsing -
But Ich? Ich love it whan thou readest to me;
And thee, thou kanst reade me eny thinge.

("The Book of Love" by The Magnetic Fields)

New book series idea 😆

Aww. Now *that's* the super romantic part

I'm glad she finally got your mail (and the message)

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

The word of the day is "Apricity" - the warmth of the sun on a cold winter’s day ☀️

Enjoy the sunshine forecast today 😎

I kind of feel this meme is meant for your husband @teawithtrop.bsky.social

I would like two jobs

One that pays for all the books I want, and another one that pays me to read them

Just finished watching. So good. I'm biting my tongue not to talk about spoilers, but in this ep it is really starting to come together

Antonio Te Maioha 🥰

I'm sad we never got to see him again in S2

Psst. Over here...

My favourite Númenorean 🌊

A small clump of snowdrops with white buds growing in leafy humus under a small tree

A bit late for @wildflowerhour.bsky.social yesterday, but I was delighted to see these snowdrops today

Only thing is... I've lived here 23 years, never planted any, never had them before as far as I remember. But I did recently cut this small tree right back. And here they are!

A tarot spread for myself, looking at my current situation and how I can face the future. An extraordinarily generous spread of pentacles and cups Core: 10 of pentacles Amended by: Knight of pentacles Future: 7 of cups Past: 9 of cups Guidance: 9 of pentacles There is abundance. Deep connection to the past is not lost. Make quiet space for the future to arise. Take strength from the patterns of all I've made. My creativity is not lost, but awaiting my calm acceptance. Celebrate my work, and all that makes me myself

My analysis of a tarot spread looking at my present difficulties, and how I can face the future. An extraordinarily generous spread of pentacles and cups Core: 10 of pentacles Amended by: Knight of pentacles Future: 7 of cups Past: 9 of cups Guidance: 9 of pentacles There is abundance. Deep connection to the past is not lost. Make quiet space for the future to arise. Take strength from the patterns of all I've made. My creativity is not lost, but awaiting my calm acceptance. Celebrate my work, and all that makes me myself

This may be the most generous spread I've ever drawn for myself. Considering I'm under siege by my cannabis soaked neighbour and have withdrawn from one room in my house (squashing most of my books and all the kids' stuff into my beautiful grown-up study)

But the cards tell me it will be well

Hooray. I'm so excited

My Christmas t-shirt order just arrived 😬

That's Christmas 2025, ordered last November

Want to make something clear:

Jeff Bezos intentionally destroyed the Washington Post because he hates free speech. He's an oligarch fascist.

When I post about The Rings of Power, I do so in praise of the work of the thousands of artists behind it. Not the one bald billionaire bitch who funded it.

Series Acclimation Mil (Star Trek Academy S1Ep5)

No spoilers, please. I'm watching very slowly because so. many. thoughts.

1. I love you, Sam. You're the most amazing thing Star Trek has created since Tin Man

2. You're not just an emissary. You're a new species

3. Hell, yeah

Excited for people to read this one now I've tweaked it.

Living his best life 🖤

This is 100% true

I have LOTR lego for me, dinosaur kits for my grandson, small lego City sets for my friend's youngsters who visit, and a box of random blocks from back in the day

Lego is for everyone

She likes to walk round barefoot, too. I'm feeling represented for the first time by Star Trek 😁

Handwritten text from The Fellowship of the Ring, prologue 4: Of the Finding of the Ring

I've reached part 4 of the prologue in my project to handwrite The Fellowship of the Ring into a set of journals

At this point I came so close to writing "the orcs of the mind" (instead of "orcs of the mine")

Nothing to do with listening to the Rings of Power soundtrack 😉

It's such an emotive piece 🥹

No females hazel flowers yet in Isle if Mull (they're tiny, red, and open on bare branches) but I spent so long trying to focus my phone on a red bud that this chap came to check up on me

Also out of focus, but ain't that song sweet? He was barely a foot away from me

Hooray! Happy Tea Birthday

Did you imagine in your wildest dreams how exciting it was going to get?

That was a little shocking when I noticed it - a really clever, unspoken way to declare her unconventionality
