Wow. Don't remember the last time I played with actual cards ...

Man, remember when Science Twitter was awesome and you could just tweet with an astronaut on the freaking ISS? Those were the days.

If it happens to you, I’m sorry. Please use the time we’ve saved together doing something that nourishes your soul. Pet a cat. Look at some shrubbery. Carve a delicate and beautiful figurine from some driftwood you have gathered by the seaside.

I’m sorry I burst into 2000 moths when you tried to kiss me, I was flustered and forgot how to remain solid

I regret to inform you that I have gone further down the terrible rabbit hole that is Elsie the Cow. If you squint at enough eBay listings trying to read the words, you find a saga of a marriage gone mad.

WHISTLE TIME! I go through about 3 rolls of filament a day printing whistles that I ship to anyone who asks (FREE!) as part of a loose knit crew of whistle goblins. if you want to throw a spool at your whistle maker, I’d sure appreciate it!

Have you noticed how people calling out Epstein and systemic misogyny in sciences, are usually early career women. They put emotional labour, time, and career on the line. While men, in the field they dominate, earn more, and behaviour they enable, just go on as if nothing has happened.

I would watch a documentary on how you build a luge/skeleton/bobsled track. It's probably not someone wandering down with a hosepipe while people clamp freezers to the underneath. Though that too would be entertaining.

It is perfect for kids who love Dog Man or Bunny vs Monkey. You should definitely get your hands on a copy If you have a 7-12 year old who loves this sort of nonsense! www.penguin.co.uk/series/FARFI...

I've not really told you lot about books you can buy from me for a day or two. (YOU CAN BUY ANY BOOK AT ALL FROM ME BTW. YOU JUST HAVE TO ASK!) I've got a few tasty signed books you might like. 10pm. The perfect time to do this. Here we go.

Don't give up on your dreams. Somewhere out there is an old theater that needs a new ghost, or a crumbling castle that needs a new creature in the catacombs, chasing townsfolk away from the secrets buried within.
