The greatest poetic metre you’ve probably never heard of Cynghanedd, the ancient Welsh art of poetic harmony, weaves rhythm, rhyme and alliteration into intricate patterns.

I love The Conversation, fascinating articles and often from a Welsh pov. Would love to listen to this being read.

Independent: 'Low-carb diets could increase risk of heart rhythm disorders, research suggests' also Independent: How the keto diet can reboot your mental health and reduce belly fat this January'. Make it make sense!

"I hate being edited" — I will insist on misusing words
"I love being edited" — I regularly get the color of the sky wrong
"I don't need an editor"—I need an editor more than anyone in the history of the written word

A bit of an odd request: I'm searching for any English-language cartoons (esp. pre-1930) that touch on abortion, contraception, and/or reproductive health. I'm perusing suffrage publications, but any ideas / leads welcomed. Looking to update some things for a spring class.

A trade card featuring two skeletons holding hands, at the top is the skeleton of an animal. And in the middle is script advertising the services.

Trade Card of Nathaniel Longbottom, “Supplier of Skeletons in St. Thomas's Street, Southwark,” late 18th century. Longbottom would likely have had interactions with bodysnatchers (or “resurrectionists”) to help him procure skeletons for his shop.

The serial killer is also obsessed with Christmas to the point he cooks a whole turkey every couple of weeks.

Got overexcited for Christmas books and found my last read a bit sweet. I'm now reading Ho Ho Homicidal Maniac by K A Merikan, part of their Murder and Mistletoe series. M/m with a serial killer falling for a true crime podcaster. Yes, it's as mad as it sounds! #books #BookSky 💙 📚 🌶️

Do please get behind this & support it in any way you can. I would still appreciate contributions to the three writers’ bursaries and for any short online course providers to offer something, with nonfic, fiction and poetry categories this year. #curae #carers thecuraeprize.uk This is a vital thing

Have been naughty on #borrowbox particularly this month, two books went back before I'd finished them and are now on my reserve list for next year. Trying to sort my tbr list out a little before I decided what to read next. #books #BookSky 💙📚

Finished 'Tic-Tac-Mistletoe' by NR Walker, a forced proximity m/m holiday romance. A bit too fluffy and sweet for me, I would have appreciated a bit more conflict. It also had a very low level of heat. Think Hallmark movie in a novel. #books #BookSky 💙 📚

My current holiday read, Tic-Tac-Mistletoe by N R Walker is lovely and cosy, but alas very very sweet. I'm apparently in the mood for studying this morning, and have fallen down a rabbit hole about Argentina and VS Naipaul. Jstor is being accessed.

Just started 'Something Wicked: The Lives, Crimes and Deaths of the Pendle Witches' by Carol Ann Lee, another #borrowbox book to catch up on. So far, I'm very impressed with the writing and the research that's gone into it. #books #BookSky 💙 📚

Finished 'Celebrating The Season', part of Nora Phoenix's Forestville Foxes universe about older men finding love in a small town. Boaz (29) meets a sexy Santa (Ellery, 50) at a bachelor party. This was a sweet, spicy m/m romance with a bit of mild D/s dynamic (mild spanking). #books #BookSky 💙 📚 🌶️

Finished 'The Bell Witches'. I think it would have worked without the romance entirely - a book about a young woman from a generation of Witches coming into her powers with her friends alongside her and not mooning over a boy she's just met! This is probably me being 45 though 🤷🏼‍♀️ #BookSky #books 💙📚

Trying to finish off 'The Bell Witches' by Lindsey Kelk. YA is not really a genre I read a great deal of. The Savannah setting is great, some intriguing family secrets and interesting world building. The love at first sight romance is not doing it for me though. #books #BookSky 💙 📚

Not been keeping up with my normal amount of reading lately, but I'm hoping to catch up with a couple of #borrowbox books this weekend and then read ALL the KU m/m holiday romances along with ALL the seasonal murder mysteries! #books #BookSky 💙 📚

Kirsten too, I just didn't feel like the film made the most of her fantastic talent.

Nice dress, not entirely sure if we're still on Christmas. I think this might have attempted to be funnier than it was. I also don't think that there was any actual chemistry with the leads, which is a pity as Lindsey can be fab with the right person beside her.

She's looking at his proposal. Alas, his logo is the worst 😭. His mum is never trusting her either. Romantic flashbacks that I have no recollection of.

Kristen is not letting the affair stand in the way of Christmas. Lindsey is not putting up with dopey boyfriend though. Logan is looking back at the haunted figure of overtanned girlfriend.

Fuck off with the dementia bullshit, also, shut up orange gf. Team grandma and Callum!

We're not supposed to feel sorry for Logan! Kristen is being evil. Don't want to be her secret santa!

I like the silky rose dress, very nice. Now she's checking out the sexy engineering blueprints. It's secret santa time!

She should just dump the pair of them and go find someone more exciting. Logan is trying to dob the bf in, L doesn't care.

They saved the church scenes, Hallelujah! Logan is still a little bitch though.

This is definitely not as funny and sassy as last year's Lindsey film. Logan doesn't have the chops, nor does the other bf. The 'funny' bits are not very funny so far.

There is no way Kristen shames people for screw cap wine in real life. If she doesn't like it, she gracefully accepts it and donates. Also, her pic is not that bad.

Don't like Logan, Mr passive aggressive. Urgh, he's making fun of her age. F off Logan, she doesn't need your approval or pity!

What’s up with the lighting in the bed scene? Put down those filters! You don't need it! Someone also needs to tone down Kristen's fake tan.
