If I do Archival Sciences I can possibly get work to sign off on it and digital archivists especially are *in demand* BUT my heart truly lies in Genealogy and Heraldry and I fear that if I don't do that now, the one university that offers it will nuke it like the level 7 Apprenticeships

I'm starting to think about what I want to achieve in the new year and I think I need to make a decision about whether or not I want to pursue a masters because otherwise I will back and forth about it until I'm old and grey

I can't wait until we eat all landlords and redistribute housing

Our landlord tried that last year and when we pointed out we had a rent control clause and that wasn't legal, they threatened us with eviction. We ended up meeting in the middle, but I think the eviction this year might have been some weird punishment. Fucking landlords, scum of the earth.

Oh that's a mood πŸ˜‚ I consider making a ring binder of all the pdf papers I've collected.

Housing market's utterly fucked. We got evicted because our landlord wanted to put the rent up again. 🫠 I feel lucky we managed to move quite quickly, but what a shitty rug pull. May your viewings be pleasant and your landlords be tolerable!

Most academics will send you a pdf of stuff they've written if you email them and ask nicely, because they hate academic publishing houses as much as we do. πŸ‘

Is it better to launch a Kickstarter at the end of this year, or wait until January?

Not going to lie, getting this doormat was like, 60% of the reason I went to IKEA today.

God knows there is no horror quite like slowly pulling the entire length of a pin out the heel of your foot

The new adaptation of Wuthering Heights looks like ass but I will be listening to House by Charli XCX and John Cale as we descend into Haunted Waif Winter

My sole criticism of Frankenstein is that there's no way collodion glass plate negatives would have survived an explosion and several months of elemental exposure

Elizabeth's costumes were SO good. I can't wait to watch it again and pick out all the little details!!

I don't think it quite knocks Crimson Peak off my top spot because that film was chemically engineered in a lab to be My Thing, but I will admit that Frankenstein is more well-rounded and the better film. Every element of it works and is masterful. It will probably grow on me even more on rewatch.

The costume design is particularly phenomenal. I can't wait to see people try and reconstruct it. Kate Hawley is really in her element and deserves ALL the awards.

I was absolutely wiped by the time I got home last night but good GOD you should go and see Frankenstein. Stellar. Haunting.

I have sanded walls. I have painted. I have scrubbed and hoovered and washed and washed again.

Us: Having several new rooms to get to grips with will probably be very overwhelming for her, best keep her in one room for a bit

After a few hours of hiding in her carrier, Juno has progressed to trying to escape the new spare room. This stage took a few days when we first got her so she's being very brave.
