Can you really even call yourself a writer if you've never used an ellipsis... (a parenthetical aside) and an em dash—in the same paragraph? (this is a joke, don't yell at me) (but also, I just did this, no regrets)

I'm sure you guys are all great at shopping like normal ppl but I wish I could remind some folks: Take bags, or at least don't kick off at having to pay for one. That's been the law for 10 years now. Don't fucking haggle, you're not Indiana Jones You're not The Protagonist. Neither's your kids.

#MossyMonday from Saturday 💚🤎 Have a nice day ✨

We wake to mornings of cold magic. Exhale dragon-breath, crunch frost-frozen leaves as we walk. The year is dying. We feel it as rush of ghosts, a shivering that foretells the blade of ice upon its neck. No wonder this is the season where folklore burns bright. – #DAKilroy, 1982 #Folklore

As C.L. Nolan said: “We must acknowledge there are places where the land growls.”

Me (to a little boy beside me in a cafe who is wearing a yellow coat): Nice coat. Little boy: Thank you. It means when night comes I can hide as a star.

When you finish a book and you just know when you go onto goodreads the ratings will be abysmal because so many people hate a story that doesn't do the things they want it to, instead of appreciating that an author is doing their own damn thing.

A bird with urgent business in the shop when it opens

Out and about around town the other day I happened to notice four obvious spelling mistakes on as many professionally printed public notices. I got to thinking that I was either strangely hyper alert or just having a weird kind of day. On the bus today, I pressed the bell to stop the bus .. and ..

People sometimes say “I miss linear television” or “I can’t focus on a film without looking at my phone” or “I struggle to read a book” as if someone banned this stuff. You just have to make a slight effort to engage with full-focus experiences. But you’re allowed to.

it’s important to find time in your day to just switch your mind off and do nothing. it might be first thing in the morning, it might be last thing at night, or - and this is surprisingly popular - it might be when you get to the ticket barriers at waterloo. just take care of yourself, guys.

Yesterday, I read a poem which referred to a telescope as a 'sight-invigorating tube' I think this is delightful and want to see a similar approach used to name other items. A cup might be a 'drink-bequeathing receptacle' A brush could be a 'hair-enrapturing hedgehog.' Feel free to jump in.

While the future removal of #StarTrekProdigy on Netflix is disconcerting, it has little to do with lack of viewership or anything nefarious. We’ve come to learn the license for S1 is up June 24, and S2 Dec 31. We hold out hope someone will pick it up. The next generation of trek fans deserve it.

Folklore dissolves time. Folklore is the simultaneous landscape of stories. For folklore is the past holding hands with the now as it walks into tomorrow. Ancient magical beasts and the singing of transmission towers all at once. To walk folklore is to walk wonder. – Dr. M. Benn, 1982 #Folklore

One of the duties of the Master of Woden College at Weychester University is to ensure an annual census of ghosts is carried out. It records not only individual spectres, but all of Woden College's doors which can be described as 'ghost-troubled'. – George Kindred, Haunted Hookland, 1970
