I've heard the name Robert Aickman, because of
@johnnymains.co.uk
and so I was pleased to see a story by him in
@blpublishing.bsky.social
and holy moly I now *need* to find more stories by him. His style is so .... unsettling. As a reader you feel off kilter reading, it totally draws you in

5 year old son asks if I can spell dragon so I got him to spell it out and write it. Smugly thinking that I was getting him to do some writing and spelling. It very quickly spiraled into words like poo, wee and then

When you turn 40 and your work colleagues keep it low key but buy you awesome presents like plants for insects, a dung beetle for the garden, plus loads of tea!

I am lucky enough to say that I have seen one, dad and I would hunt for these in Cornwall and one day we found 2! He is no longer around but I still go out and hunt possible sites

Never in all my life did I think I would be able to stand in my own back garden in Cornwall, with my husband, (in pjs) and see the Northern Lights. It was like a fairytale.

that has a nack (and a boat load of hardwork behind the scenes) for finding these incredible stories. All I will say is you will not see the twist coming and read his other finds from publisher Mislaid Books

So, just to confirm, the BBC can’t keep Robin Ince on the air because his trans allyship brings the organisation into disrepute, but they can keep David Walliams, who performed Nazi salutes at the recording of this very show, on the air despite him being predatory towards women. Cool. Very normal.

Sometimes I have to pinch myself because at work last week I got to sit next to (and it seems stare at) Prof Ian Stewart on a panel discussing climate change and sustainability.

So proud of how the little man is getting on at school, an excellent school report where we were told he is polite and is making friends. He has used his charm on the dinner ladies so he can have fresh fruit for pudding rather than the tinned 🤣

Just read this and loved it. Originally written in Korean and translated. Different to western horror and so interesting because of the different feel which led to unsettled uneasiness reading it. Reminded me of some of the stories in The Dead of Summer by

Wes Streeting says "little or no support" for striking docs. Let's prove this cunt wrong. Repost if you wanna show solidarity with essential workers fighting for their rights after years of underfunding and real terms pay cuts. Who's with me?

Can we organise this for South West Water after a "third party company" dumped the lime meant for the treatment process directly into the St Austell river (White river) killing all the fish, eels and lamprays?

A very rough draft but I went for a walk, the light was strange and beautiful. I've felt a bit melancholy recently I think it might be my son starting school and the changes that are happening. Anyway echoes of folklore thanks to
