Good morning from Merlin on top of a cabinet, as seen through my stair steps. He winks at you.

I've lost my voice *completely* and I'm making up a new sign language Kimiko-style to get around 🥲 (It's faster than typing IRL)

Forcing my fever to be over by sheer willpower because I have plans to go flower picking tomorrow 🌷 (We have 'plukweides' here where you can pick your own flowers and pay a small amount per stem, not sure what they're called in English!)

📽️ Film fans: I would love recs for comfort movies of yours as I'm currently battling a high fever and body aches, and some distraction would be nice! Any suggestions? 🖤 (PS: yes horror movies definitely also count as comfort movies.)

I'm currently dying (or feeling that way) with a fever. Not to sound like a Victorian woman with a mysterious illness but being sent away to the seaside would probably fix me.

Dora Abodi appreciation post 🐈‍⬛

📽️ It's storming here. I've turned the lights off and lit my woodwick candle. I figured it's time for THE WICKER MAN (Robin Hardy, 1973).

Some of the nice ones 🖤

I took a lot of properly nice pictures yesterday but my secret favourite one is actually this.

Some of the biscuits, including sheep because he's a herding border collie, and tennis balls because they're his very favourite toy. (We once got a giant transparent bag with HUNDREDS of used ones from a local tennis court and Spencer absolutely lost it. 😅)

The dog bakery lady knew my order for dog biscuits was for Spencer's last 'party' and she put in extra biscuits for him 🖤

I'm seated and sat

Homemade onigiri + professional sniff-test.

Post to let you know I'm still alive and have just been busy with work, music projects, poorly pets (not fun), and seeing lots of friends (fun). I'll have more time for movie-posting soon, and I'll also be posting another story on the Patreon near the end of the week. (A proper horror one, ooh!) 🖤

I'm working an event at a library and a guy just exited the bathroom while actively eating a whole cucumber with FERVOUR. It's hard to describe the atmosphere of the moment so I've added a drawing.

About to leave for the weekendddd but the view from my office is pretty nice in Spring 🌳

I went thrifting (which was very fun) and one of my friends said she's stopped wearing short skirts or shirts with cleavage because she recently had her first kid and is 'approaching 30'. Girl we don't become decrepit at 30, that's still so young. 😩

Crimson desert is like if you took all of the mechanics from those games and REALLY polished them, and then fed the entire narrative and story through chatgpt five times over. If you love RPGS primarily for their rich stories, maybe hang back on this one.

I have a new LED colour light and I'm not afraid to use it

Everyone in my feed is making me want to get Tomodachi Life 👀

📽️ Movie night! Tonight I'm watching NOROI: THE CURSE (Koji Shiraishi, 2005). I love Japanese haunting dread and found footage (and what is now somewhat annoyingly called 'analog horror'), so I'm very excited. ⚫ ⚫

Realized while creating him in #TomodachiLife that today is Dale Cooper's birthday. He's celebrating turning 72 by forging his most important friendship yet over #TwinPeaks obsession!

Had dinner at a friend's house tonight, and as he pours the wine he excitedly says 'ChatGPT helped me pick out this wine!' Why does someone even feel the need to ask AI for help with that 🥲

It's been over 2 years since I last played WoW, but the weather is sad and I have new friends that play, so, new warlock for the Midnight expansion 🖤

New Netflix and chill dropped

POV I'm your wife who tragically died before the start of the movie and only exist to motivate your search for vengeance through flashbacks.

Very first world problems, but I can afford a nice and beachy vacation this year and I can't decide between Portugal and Sardinia. Opinions or votes? 🏖️☀️

I've never signed up willingly but for some reason I get mails from The Telegraph and that paper really is a caricature of itself

“What are the best and worst Morrissey lyrics?”

Can anyone recommend their favourite writing soundtracks or playlists? Preferably instrumental; singing usually distracts me (unless it's Gregorian Chant or something).

📽️ I'll get back to serious cinema soon, but today I've turned off my brain and am watching Tom Gormican's ANACONDA (2025). Because I like snakes and because I once chose the 1997 ANACONDA (Luis Llosa) for my weekly pick at the video store as a kid, and I thought the animatronic snake was so cool.

Production is underway on Justine Triet's Fonda, starring Mia Goth, Andrew Scott, Frank Dillane, Odessa A'Zion, Allison Janney and Nathan Stewart Jarrett 🎥

the case for transitioning

My dog that can barely walk anymore just leapt up and stole a mouthful of fries and then did the happiest grin the rest of the evening. I'm getting hustled

📽️ Here's my #LastFourWatched for this week! #LetterboxdFriday

And flowers saw me

I saw flowers

IT IS HAPPENING, AGAIN.

Found an interesting job where I'd (in very simple terms) help the biggest news agencies and journalists fact check and fight disinformation. Seems interesting (especially now), but my current job has so much flexibility that I'm a bit hesitant to consider leaving.

Finally made it to the tulip festival (things kept coming up the last few days) and you're apparently not even allowed to karate kick the flowers

Need someone to paint me while I pose like this

Wild that THE BOYS' parody of American politics still isn't as comically evil and insane as actual American politics.

I'm sure this isn't a recent tweet and I have no interest in going on X to check, but this is wild. I'd never mock people in general who can't read (much). But I would judge WRITERS who don't read. You can't meaningfully create in a medium you never even engage with.

📽️ While I get ready to go to the tulip festival later, I'm watching POSSESSOR (Brandon Cronenberg, 2020). I'm surprised I didn't really notice this when it came out. The cast looks great as well ✨

There's also a narrative that these republicans could stop it if they just stopped being cowards and stood up for what's right. But it's not cowardice. They just don't care about what's right. I think when you have empathy, it's hard to grasp that some people genuinely don't care for others at all.

I have 14 different candles in my cart right now, someone who's good at the economy help me budget this

A hallway on Floor 11 in Luigi's Mansion 3 references both The Shining and Twin Peaks with its carpet and floor patterns, respectively.
