The end's been in sight for years according to them. The trouble for the likes of these two is that as long as people have the courage to stand up to bullies like them, there is no end.
And the notion that 'they' aren't vicious, venemous, abusive, furious etc. is another sign of their delusion.
Fool by Christopher Moore
Having not read King Lear, I cannot verify how accurate this novel is to the play, and based on the Author's Note at the end, it probably isn't particularly accurate. Even without that prior Shakespearian knowledge, it is still an enjoyable book.

My Life in France by Julia Child-
I greatly enjoyed reading Julia Child’s memoir. It covered so many different aspect of her life. I liked how conversational the book felt and especially enjoyed the recipes and tips sprinkled throughout the book.

I'd recommend "This Book Is Gay" by the trans author Juno Dawson, because I like that she put other voices next to her own to write about queerness. I also really enjoyed her book "Queen B" and the way chosen sisterhood plays a role in it 😊 #bookvember #buchsky #buchliebe

Today's blend is Harney & Sons Paris. Its a wonderful cup. I'm listening to The Crow Trap by Ann Cleeve. I'm 44% in and I've just now been introduced to Vera Stanhope. #booksky #teasky ☕️🍵🫖 💙📚 🎧📚

Most women can't keep up with B—until K shows up. K is smart, sexy, dangerous, and came back even after B threw a grenade at her
That's probably because K is also trying to collect the price on B's head

Talking to friends today I'm reminded of how in school I'd turn every creative writing task, no matter the brief, into a 10-page fantasy epic, or Star Wars fanfic, or essay on the dambusters, or whatever I was obsessed with at the time 😂 My poor teachers! Anyone else do that??

Researchers previously tallied the extent of Roman roads as covering around 117,163 miles (188,555 kilometers). The new work shows nearly 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) of roads across the extent of the Roman Empire, allowing travel from Spain to Syria.

How about a cheeky fashion show? Not recent but who cares? I loved some of these outfits. The last one is slightly risqué 🤭🤭🤭

I post some AI using my own face on my images. For new followers this is the girl behind this account. Yes I'm a real person with hopes and fears just like all of you. I'm a lesbian. I work as a design engineer. I live in England. I worry about stuff. I mostly avoid conflict. I sometimes fail.
