this, *this*, is the greatest crossover of all time

#hw "Mummy. When you were a kid, did you have a friend who sent you tiktoks because they're relatable?"

"Mummy. You should make carrots just like the school carrots. They're really moist and round and accurate."

This interview really me laugh. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/no...

Adjusting based on questions so far: she cannot & will not again be able to knit or sew, I think; looking for something pretty to look at and easy to read, not patterns but more art-focused, I think. Non-fabric art also welcome. Thank you!

Friends in the UK who are into fabric arts - I'm looking for a magazine subscription to get for my stepmother who was a big sewer before her brain injury and now likes reading magazines. I'd appreciate recs! (No international postage recs please)

"There's clearly something political about it but nobody knows what it is". Truly we are living in the stupidest year!!!

#hw's first tooth came out! Man baby teeth are weird.

Really valuable piece - I learned a lot from this.

I pick up #hw from school every day and we've fallen into a routine as we walk to the bus where we tell each other about our days; now if I have to stay late at work he wants to tell me about his day and hear about mine even when he only sees me the next morning. It's so precious to me.

Update on this: he's 48?!?!?!

My first reaction to this is "huh, I mean, I guess so?" and my second is "Martin Gero hasn't retired???"

I did not intend to defend this not-great book, but we simply CANNOT be creating age gap wank out of MAGICAL COMAS. From the MC's point of view she time-traveled! She was not awake and gaining experience during that coma! There are many valid critiques of the romance, but this is not one of them!!!

Read a not-great book, popped into the reviews to see if other people had the same issues I had, and discovered people saying they hated the "toxic age gap" between the love interests. Y'all. The MC was in a magical coma for decades, and thus technically was born decades before the Love Interest.

Help me, I want to read Stucky fanfiction but one of them was frozen for 50 years and the other one kept getting frozen and unfrozen and also mindwiped and I can't figure out whether the lived experience age gap is problematic or not

Kindergarten drama: a friend of #hw is calling him a "smushcake" in the lawless space of the line-up to get on the bus to afterschool. He gravely told me yesterday that he doesn't think this school is "the right place for him." I told him I think we explore less nuclear options first. Poor muffin.

If only any of Larry Summers' previous actions had revealed to anyone that he was an absolute piece of shit.

super excited for this but also hope that one of the plot twists is that Andrew Scott's character is faking an American accent 😂

(imo it may well be dragon fucking that saves the entire tradition of printed novels so if that's what people are enjoying I say let them eat lizard, whatever makes people engage with the written word)

do you think it's anti-romantasy as in counteracting like antifreeze, or in reverse like anticlockwise or opposed to like antisocial, or tiny food like antipasto

"For goodness' sake, Adelaide, I am NOT letting you go over there to ask her if she's the model from the Turner sketches that made that silly Ruskin fellow have that queer turn." #GirlsOwnCC

this is the news i needed today omg

Really feeling my age and also my libido-reducing medication as I reread a beloved fic by @scarlettohairdye.bsky.social and skim over the sex scenes to get to the knitting and wallpaper.

It was me

I'm sorry, there was an ALLIGATOR in the CHARLES RIVER? the Charles River in BOSTON?

Hey if you're a knitter and like fancy hats, my MIL now has a Ravelry store. www.ravelry.com/patterns/sou...

Every time my brother's longhair has to get a trim I WILL post "send pics of ur shaved p****y" to the family WhatsApp and nobody can stop me doing this

Brain not great today.

You know what I realized last night? DEATH BLART SOON

Well, at his request I got #hw a poster of his favorite sea monster, I hope it doesn't immediately make him too terrified to sleep

#hw is currently writing Poop on everything and also saying he will smell our butts, and this is Peak Humor.

Okay, I was just in Newport, RI and saw this in a window display. Confirmed- it’s ADORABLE!!! 🦞

It has come to my attention that I don't need to and perhaps shouldn't continue to use the ancient, free heat pad my physio gave me like a decade ago, and so I have bought an electric blanket, and what is this incredible technology of warmth and fluffiness

Erika Ishii is TOO HOT. It's a problem.

i've said it before and i'll say it again: joyce carol oates is the main boss of twitter. our finest posters have done some of their best work going after elon, but it's never rattled him like this. she got to him on a molecular level.

"Like an ancient cyborg culling through the ruins of a post-apocalyptic planet (twitter, derogatory), Joyce Carol Oates recently fired her full-power death ray at aspiring trillionaire Elon Musk."

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Really enjoying how many people learned from my last tweet that James Acaster got dumped for Mr Bean. He's very funny (and sweet) about it.

Very hard for me to see the trailer for Rowan Atkinson's new film without thinking about how it's obviously come from his experience taking time out of his career to stay-at-home dad his baby with his much younger gf who left James Acaster for him...

A real jump scare when as I was walking out of the coffee shop I realized that the vaguely familiar woman sitting one table over from me was my therapist.* *Who I haven't seen for a couple of years and who I only saw online.

In a coffee shop working on a sunday, grooving to Foreigner's "A Girl Like You"

#hw has a new school friend over for a play date and they are singing along together to kpop demon Hunter songs upstairs 🥹😍

They've made a film of H is for Hawk, one of the most astonishing books I've read in years. It looks like they've made a quite sentimental, much less strange version of the story and so I'm not that interested.

This post was written by the account owner's partner @ratsprite.bsky.social Our beloved Nevvie passed away suddenly on the 16th of October. Details of how to get in contact are available on a post on her blog: neverwhere.tumblr.com/post/7987771...

I don't know if any of you knew neverwhere, but she passed away suddenly a couple of weeks ago. I knew her from POI fandom, and lost touch when I left X, but she would leave lovely, generous comments on fic. Fandom is poorer for her loss. neverwhere.tumblr.com/post/7987771....

Good morning America! Today is the paperback publication day of my #StarTrekSNW novel Asylum! It's such a belter they gave it an award. #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds #UnaByUna www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-St...

Someone left a pair of pants (trousers) in the graduate lounge in my department...

The most magical moment this evening was when #hw saw a group of kpop demon hunter teens and they SANG HIS FAVORITE SONG and he was so excited and happy, and they were charmed by his excitement.

“We’ve created … ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.” “That is amazing. Can it write a nauseatingly obsequious form letter rife with factual errors that somehow sounds both like the recipient is my hero and idol and like I know absolutely nothing about them?” “It can … for a price.”

Things #hw is currently into: - the 'six seven' meme, which he yelled several times in bed with us this morning (www.theguardian.com/society/2025...) - the K Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack (his favorite track is "Golden")
