It's this little gem and it's not up for debate

I got chills. Watch to the end.

*Parody reads this. He stares for a moment, then sets the phone down. Rising, he throws on a coat. He gathers stones from the beach, worn smooth from ceaseless tides, and places them in his pockets. The ocean laps at his feet, his knees, his waist, gently pulling him into its cold embrace. /FIN

I mean, thank God they’re not those awful windmills, right?

Hyperfixation of the week: there is apparently a field called “forensic hairdressing” where people try to reconstruct ancient hair techniques. Below is one from Ancient Rome ca. 120 AD. The leading figure is a hairstylist-turned-archaeologist named Janet Stephens who also does video tutorials. Cool!

Always love to see books in other languages! :)

I washed the dishes I've been ignoring for days, it took me five minutes, I will learn nothing from this

How a 1937 film pulled off one of cinema’s creepiest transformations. It’s hard to believe this effect was created nearly 90 years ago. Original post

Over 250 years old, the 'Silver Swan' is an automaton exhibited at the Bowes Museum in England. The life-sized swan is a device powered by a clockwork mechanism that includes a music box. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_...

A girl adopted the most aggressive cat before it was put to sleep. In a month she managed to change him completely. Original post

one thing you can do for your laid off friends is reach out to them and tell them that you appreciated their work. I dislike the stigma in America of people avoiding talking to you because you were callously cut out of employment because people who have no taste deleted you from a spreadsheet

Kitten Sylvanas says hello

A very hazy start to the week here in Glastonbury. Photo taken at sunrise this morning.

I wanted to just repost, but please check the number of reposts and it will be made clear why I stayed my hand.

Goodnight from Bill Radleigh, bringing his pint glass down on the table like a gavel to dismiss further mention of that odd business up at Arkwell Hall. Goodnight from Long Bickbury, where Children-Made-of-Thorns are lurking the lane for pub strays returning home. Goodnight from Hookland.

Ok step one is to make them look less delicious

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging thunderstorm, an Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, an owl keeping watch, and a basket of emotional support scones.

Sunrise from Glastonbury Tor this morning.

@naomikritzer.bsky.social @victoriastrauss.com @sfwa.org I was unable to attend the seminar and I heard that it was going to be recorded, is this correct? If so, could someone send me the link? this is going to be my weekend... Thank you!

These performances, this episode. Beautiful and heartbreaking. A love story with the best of them.

Psssst. This applies to writing, too.

It's never a bad time to remind ppl that there is a boy-goes-to-wizard-school novel with deeper themes, gorgeous writing, and psychological depth that HP never attained. A Wizard of Earthsea. Do yourself a favor and read it. Ged is the better wizard, better man, and Le Guin the superior writer.

I’ve never seen a picture of a chicken go harder than this

I am not a toy. I am not a Christmas present. I am a demon bound by corruption. Please think hard before gifting a Felhound this Christmas.

People were indignant when we banned memes in our discord server The only 'legal' memes are constructed entirely from our games' assets These are the most majestic frankenstein'd imagery you've ever seen A source of constant delight at our players' creativity We regret nothing

Very excited about this news. I can’t wait to hear whether DNA research proves that the remains belong to D’Artagnan. Just like it helped identifying Richard III. #genealogy #earlymodern www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is (I think) a Greater Blue-Eared Starling (Lamprotornis chalybaeus) & the amazing chrome job is their super-power. They've evolved to manipulate light in VERY specific ways, attracting mates, intimidating rivals. Let's look at the nanostructures that bring this bling into being.

FACT OF THE DAY. 26 March 1953. In a huge medical breakthrough, US medical researcher Dr Jonas Salk announced that he had created the first polio vaccine. Polio cases fell from 58,000 per year in 1952 to 6,000 by 1958. Salk’s vaccine was replaced by a new one developed by Albert Sabin in 1962.

The sun starts to rise towards mid-archway now as we head towards Summer. The first one I have had this year as it was so quiet up there this morning. Taken in St Michael's tower on Glastonbury Tor.

Sweden also has 1 year maternity leave.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

The Jetsons lied to us

And now we wait

I love the Rutles.

writing is: 20% saying dialogue aloud to yourself in the shower, 35% going on a little walk, 40% languishing, 5% actually writing

Goodnight from Weychester Planetarium, where the stars have aligned in a most unfortunate way. Goodnight from Martha Holden, dreaming yet again of putting her hand into the hollow tree only for it to be bitten by the porcelain teeth of her old doll Miss Maggie. Goodnight from Hookland.

Of course it’s the corgi.

True.

Typos happen, kids. Especially ones you discover the day before the book launches. It doesn't mean the book wasn't edited or checked or that the writers weren't careful. It just means we're all human. #writing

Do not pander. Do not dumb down. Trust your audience to be smarter than you. Trust them to be curious. Don’t erase your own voice for spurious bowing down to factors that bring nothing to the stories you need to tell. #Writing
