They dont have to use this language.

Paddington gently taking Morgan McSweeney by the hand, leading him to the afterlife McSweeney screaming, I’m not dead, trying to break free Paddington’s grip tightens further, the more McSweeney struggles Paddington does not make mistakes Once he has your hand, your time on Earth is up

I've reread this like 3 times. Freed herself from slavery by running away, *went back a week later bc the slaver was talking shit, set his house on fire, and then escaped again is absolutely incredible queen shit

Blood Slaves is phenomenal! Can't wait for the next book this summer.

Currently reading Story of a Murder. Phenomenal piece of writing!

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

The champagne has gone down far too easily. And I feel that with how shit 2026 is already destined to be thwt once a quarter champagne should be a thing.

❤️

For Liam.

We are definitely in our 40s unashamedly.

Friday night and we've got cocktails in hand and TOTP 1999 on't telly. Will take it.

Rob Reiner and his wife, Miss Shirley, Catherine O'Hara. Why do we lose the good eggs and not the bad.

The first time I saw this part of the show i laughed so hard my stomach hurt. Honestly an incredibly funny woman.

So sad about this, genuinely gutted. She was an absolute legend in every way.

I am sucking it up and have booked the tickets and dragging @popsiwinkle.bsky.social along. Neither of us want to stand Both of us need to get over that It's going to be amazing!

Pagans is coming to a @waterstones.bsky.social near you! Yes, @jamesbluecat.bsky.social is off on a tour of the country (from Truro to Glasgow, no less, and with more dates to be confirmed!). Events are limited capacity, so get your tickets asap: www.waterstones.com/events/searc...

Looking forward to Cardiff!!

I so badly want to go to the Skunk Anansie and Garbage concert in Cardiff in June. I however do not want to have to stand the entire time. 😭

And I thought my generation had it bad, in comparison we basically had a free ride.

A) what the fuck B) she was ready to give him a beating till that bloke took him down.

We completely understand if you'd rather not read about white nationalist misogyny right now But if you do, there's Tradwife

Sometimes the urge overtakes you to watch a certain movie. I got that with The Matrix so Monday night is Matrix night. I can still remember the feeling watching it for the first time on release and how incredible it was to see Bullet time...and how cool that phone was. I always wanted the phone.

This is my dad.

Redditor posted a thread with his dogs brain scan, which showed that his dog had a brain that was 95% fluid. And then he posted this photo of the dog and yeah, makes sense.

Can't wait!

Look what people can do. Look for the hope. Look for the helpers.

At this point you just have to assume labour want reform to be the next government.

There were six or seven agents, trying to harm a man who looks unarmed and still they murdered him in broad daylight. These ICE agents are venal, incompetent, cowardly and this type of execution will keep on happening because they are an unchecked paramilitary force of scared men who crave power.

A seller on Amazon to avoid if you're getting books. Unbound did authors & readers dirty, with royalties never paid &, unless I'm mixing them up with one of the other ghastly publishers, preorders never delivered. Treat their editions like they're coverless & stolen unless direct from the author.

I got the first 2 for Christmas and they are wonderful!

Very tempted by the anything but love option!

Perfect grey and rainy January Sunday.

Missed opportunity for bindings, shimmering, spreadedges there.

Just finished and added a review on Instagram. Mixed media/epistolary/found footage true crime fiction with a horror twist. Loved it! www.instagram.com/p/DTXnULmDFRg/

That's just benedict cumberbatch with a 'tache.

I got Grave Expectations from Bookish in Crickhowell as a 'blind date with a book.' I bloody love bookshops.

The 'Ketchup' Boys (my brother) have been a staple in our family since this song was released, solidified further with the release of Actually the following year which is end to end bangers.

One of the best concerts I've been to was Alexandre Desplat conducting a variety of his scores at the Barbican and it had a q&a beforehand. Amazing experience - the Godzilla theme and Statues from HPATDH Part 2 live can't be beaten.

This, to me is an example of how the BBC doesn't help itself. He wasn't banned for calling Islam satanic, he was banned for dozens of inappropriate, homophobic and bigoted statements that created a safeguarding concern. But that's not the BBCs direction of travel is it.

Well i WAS going to use airline points to book myself a flight to Orlando for HHN35... Not anymore...

2026:

Struggling to think of any dystopian cyberpunk fiction that *doesn't* begin its back story with a pointless war in South America, but okay.

Just bought this - absolutely right up my alley and fits a reading prompt for 2026 - the Buzzword cover challenge for January - internal body part!

Fucking bigots

Peak new year's eve right now. WSM is an annual tradition, has been for years!!!

I also loved Pagans and Queer as Folklore so will definitely check out I Shall Strangle A Horse!

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

Us trying to figure out what the heck is going to happen.

Finished part one of ST and oof that was a great ending. So glad we held on to go straight into part 2!
