We are in Whitby. Saw a house with a big sign saying "stop the boats" which I'm choosing to take as a Dracula reference

Do you have a copy of the Reader's Digest Folklore, Myths and Legends? I've written about it for the @theobserveruk.bsky.social this weekend. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

I wonder if any drawings exist of this game.

Chonk has shown no interest in the ghost toys but she will happily sit next to the other homebargins ghost.

The Worcester Commandery also was the site of the School of the Blind until they got too stinky to stay. However, even though the children were taught by Edgar...the most interesting thing of note was the games. Including Blood and Thunder and Blind children on stilts would charge at each other.

eeek I just went to the website and amongst the mice there are other Misericord casts or replicas! www.oakappledesigns.com/shop/?orderb...

Sorry for all the pictures! I am now tired and will share no more here! Insta is next…

I blame @stevelockley.bsky.social for putting this in my head earlier with St. Erasmus and Leave your Hat on

Also one other thing that was nice, was that at the Commandery they had Ghost witness statements displayed. Nice and spooky!

I also took myself to St. Mary's church, Kempley to see the medieval paintings. Some of which date from the 1100's Wheel of Life The weighing of the souls Chanel with Apostles and the Bishop of Hereford painting.

The Misericord Merch of the dog/fox is actually one of the supporters of a worcester cathedral Misericord (pic taken last year)

Made the mistake of going to the Worcester cathedral gift shop and Home sense. Misericord merch: A cast of the praying fox or dog Misericord! Ghostie friends for me and Chonk from Homesense

Gravestone of John Hale a bellringer who died in 1694 after being crushed by a bell. only skelly friend at Hartpury church

Currently on a skull hunt in Worcester Cathedral but found these lovelies - A Hell Mouth and St. Lawrence being BBQ'd

Finally got to come to see the painted room at Worcester Commandery and found St. Erasmus getting his intestines wound round a windlass as well as a weighing of the souls with an ickle demon

I seem to have arrived at a very posh cafe children are called Margo, people who are arguing about money and the staff and overseas living brits. Their orange hot chocolate anf cinnamon bun was very nice

Told you

Drew around the cat this morning as she moved then she helped and the lines at the bottom are where she grabbed the pencil. Maybe she will become a Picatso.

Hate is the only victor in Free Speech discourse

I can think of another historical dictator that Axel Springer would award its top prize to - citing Courage and Non-Conformity too….

I have been a fan of Sue Blacks writing for a long time! The lecture was fascinating detailing not only her work in the UK but also her helping in war zones (kosovo, sierra Leone, Iraq) to help identify the dead 1/

Randomly stumbled upon King Richard I and King Johns birthplace

One thing I enjoy when the sun is out is to take Polaroid photos at ancient standing stone sites, something to do, innit! At the time of posting I have five copies of my book Professionally Defaced with a pen drawing along with a Polaroid of said stone site... 👁️ slipperyjack.bigcartel.com

I went through the corridor of forbidden knowledge (general public aren't allowed access) found a tentacle skull memorial　and have realised why Oxford only wants the most intelligent - cause only those can navigate it.

Rushed from work to get to The Beatrice Blackwood talk of Sue Black, one of my favourite authors!

How doth a cyclops wacche *The Odyssey*? Eyemax

📯 Hark! The next batch of Professionally Defaced copies of my spooky book Tales Accursed: a Folk Horror Anthology will be available in my shop from 12:00 (GMT) on Friday 17th July! 👁️ slipperyjack.bigcartel.com

Looking at the Ulysses 31 images and remembering Jayce and the Wheeled warriors. I did quite like watching this!

Hope someone throws this into the sea

Late last night I got into the hotel lift and, as you can see, I have been carried forward one hundred years. Excited to report back from 2126 as my day progresses. First thing to say is, obviously, Bluesky is still going and people are still mostly using it to post memes about libraries.

he's my favourite artifact at the Corinium. Even have a mug of him!

Go get one!

Speaking with @tamsinwilson.bsky.social today has solidfied my artist afterlife goal: To remain unknown until I leave mortal coil and the some random individual, with no context, finds 1000's of undead horse artworks and decides to do an uninformed retrospective and exaggerate my achievements

Today's lunch is going to be peach tin roulette again. Will I be able to open the tin or not?

With all due respect to Mr Nolan, the perfect adaptation of the Odyssey has already been made.

Good morning all 😊

The creator of Roger Rabbit (who is 85 years old by the way) is a good sort Crossposted with @openvibe.social

Shigeru Mizuki (1922-2015) Demon Parade.

Watching Event Horizon and nobody ever sends a positive message via chanting Latin, do they? It's never 'we're having a lovely time, smashing the mission objectives!'

Watching this film called Whistle, partly because I was gifted an Aztec death whistle from a friend. A bit meh

Hive Mind! I am looking for a Deaf or Partially Deaf artist/graphic designer who signs (I'm not overly bothered whether that's BSL, ASL, or what) who might *potentially* be interested in doing some SFF book covers for pay. These are fact-finding enquiries for me at present, not immediate contract.
