@mjpcuervo.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWTw... You might enjoy this. I especially like the part when the man in the beret deciphers the evidence and manages to compose an epic fan fiction.

Now that Frankenstein is out on Netflix, here's my review from a couple of weeks ago. I haven't seen anyone else talking about the Hunt tableau or poor James Legg's crucified corpse, so... enjoy. www.patreon.com/posts/some-t...

I'm watching a PBS documentary about the 1918 influenza pandemic, and the narrator just said "Colonel Gibson's hellish voyage". I know what I'll be calling my period from now on.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Actually footage of me waiting for my Hellebore contributor copy to show up when the readers are already getting theirs.

A happy delivery for cosy November nights from @helleborezine.bsky.social 🕯️

It was nice to return home to the new @helleborezine.bsky.social short stories anthology. I'm looking forward to reading this. Check it out: helleborezine.com/products/tales

history will ultimately decide this but i think joyce carol oates might have just landed the most devastating burn in human history. like the death star trench run of posting

This is spectacular. I'm cackling.

Finally, my drag king name. VIMBOS! Prince of Fluid Beef.

Retrospective diagnosis is basically impossible and problematic on a number of levels, but then there's the near-universal experience of being a neurodivergent art historian and going, "OMG, he's me for real". www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Happy November 10th! Some prime memes I have gathered

@mjpcuervo.bsky.social I want to seeeeee

Stop what you're doing and watch these sleepy chaps.

My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

The same dudes who fetishize the supposed lost strength and competence of their forefathers want computers to write their emails for them.

30 million dead, The Somme, painting created by Mary Bishop 1976 in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital where she was compelled to live. Aged 4 when her father was killed in WWI, the reverberations of his death & her mother’s vast grief traumatised & distressed Mary for the rest of her life

Thinking of Edward, Fred, and Bill Urry, my cousins who died together at the battle of Gallipoli along with their brother-in-law Arthur William Richardson. It’s thought they are the only set of three brothers who died on the same day in World War One. I dedicated The Others of Edenwell to them.

Looking forward to an evening in by the fire, having a delve into this. @helleborezine.bsky.social Tales of Occult Britain

Listening to Florence and the Machine’s “Everybody Scream” and thinking of Lucille Clifton’s “It was a Dream” Poems are spells, songs are spells, screams are the most primal of spells What should you do about the nightmare we find ourselves in? This This This

So far this morning I've made friends with a Magpie and received some wonderful post from @helleborezine.bsky.social! Quite a day so far! 🖤

Ooh, look what's just arrived. @helleborezine.bsky.social

Ten tickets sold so far - only 90 more to go before my self-imposed target has been reached...😂

We have just a few signed copies of the book Britain's Folklore Year left from last night's event. It's a really lovely little hardback from @nationaltrust.org.uk publishing, packed with interesting lore and traditions throughout the year and ideal as a gift! 💙📚🪐 #SignedBooks

I do not need another coffee table art book. And yet. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cen...

Frankenstein is available to stream on Netflix today, so expect a bunch of “I don’t get the big deal” takes from people uninterested in the movie who half-watched it on their phones.

Me sitting with Florence’s lyrics about communing with her ancestors and them only wanting gin and lithium.

I lived in Ipswich for years, and there was a piece of graffiti by the docks that said “Top tip! Recharge your dead batteries in the microwave.”

HELLEBORE x TATE BRITAIN Save the date: 7.11.2025, 6-10pm Founder @mjpcuervo.bsky.social will guide you into HELLEBORE’s Cave of Mysteries as part of the Hidden Folklore celebrations.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what supposed "educationalists" are currently raking in money for suggesting we force-feed to millions of students at a stressful time in their young lives.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

The swelling in my subluxated shoulder has finally come down enough that it no longer looks like I've just staggered off Bosworth field. Eleven days of this!

Let's go, girls.

So loss making OpenAI is now begging for US government money to finance its research based on unproven promises of riches to follow at some unspecified date. Is anyone else recalling renaissance alchemists persuading rich patrons to support them because they'd be turning lead into gold any day now?

'Remember, remember the 5th of November!' 🔥 These are thought to be the earliest photographs of a bonfire. These photographs were taken in 1853 by John Dillwyn Llewelyn at Penllergare in Swansea 📷 museum.wales/articles/972... #Wales #BonfireNight #History

Watching workplaces during the pandemic quickly adapt to the remote working solutions disabled people have been pleading for for years, and then watching those same workplaces whip those accommodations away now abled people no longer need them has been... suboptimal.

On BBC news this morning this was framed as "disabled people are going to cause a recession" and talking about how to make disabled people get jobs. There was no mention of how the govt has restricted covid vaccinations so most of us have to pay £100 if we want one.

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

the Pope could do the funniest possible thing to J.D. Vance

With apologies to the RAF, I tell the story of my own Rendlesham Forest incident, back in the year 2000. It's £1 to join my Patreon, and it keeps me afloat. www.patreon.com/posts/with-a...

Remember when Aaron Swartz downloaded JSTOR archives that he had full legal rights to download and the FBI hounded him literally to death for it? Anyway,

Bombarded so throughly by Black Friday emails, I not only don't know when Black Friday is, I've also lost track of when to expect regular Friday.

Dick Cheney won't see your mean jokes about his death, but Tony Blair will, hopefully.
