Does anyone know how good Dr Raigosa is for bottom surgery? I can't find many testimonials or results RT's appreciated

UK #BookSky, if one had a crate full of reasonable condition first editions of Enid Blyton and similar 1940s children's books, where would be the best place to sell? Is eBay the way forward? Similar ones seem to be priced at £50 to £120. Or is there somewhere I can take a whole box?

Delighted by this wonderful ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review for Mr Collins in Love ❤️

Our lovely neighbour popped in for tea this afternoon. She's been scrubbing racist graffiti off the local road signs. It was such a relief to reaffirm there are kind people in our rural community who organise and get stuff done.

Picked up the final book in @premeemohamed.com post-apocalyptic series. Think I may need to go back and read all three of them in one go to wade back into the world she created. Looking forward to it.

A pirate goes to the ship’s surgeon to have spots on his arm checked. The surgeon says, "They're benign". The pirate replies, "No, no doc. There be 11. I counted them before I came here." Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Oh hey, have you pre-ordered the second Dorothy Gentleman novella? It’s called Nobody’s Baby, because Dorothy finds a baby that appears to belong to nobody, and the gang has to figure out how this baby happened where no babies are supposed to be. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

I have lots to say and I am convincing myself to say as little as possible, but I don't think a society that has been absolutely saturated in unavoidable looping videos of snuff films for a decade is one that can hold. Power will and has coalesced around those who best weaponize the snuff films.

See this? This is 53 libraries buying my m/m romance Pride and Prejudice retelling MR COLLINS IN LOVE in August 🥳 As a life-long library lover this makes me very happy!

Time to remind people about the Commercial Pattern Archive — it doesn’t have instructions and search is a bear but there’s two hundred years’ worth of clothing patterns in here including all the big names new and old: copa.apps.uri.edu

We have handed the keys back to our old place with some tears -- fifteen years and lots of memories. We're in the 'sea of boxes and decorating' stage now. We're all ok, but tired. Turns out four months of bereavement, house-clearing and house-moving is quite stressful 🙄.

Is there a guide somewhere to how we go about this?

A refreshing and affirming article for me this morning UK time. Do read it. With thanks to @scottlynch78.bsky.social whose repost put it into my skyline. Let's remember to share the good stuff in these dark days

Okay I am now firmly committed to peeling off whatever Fox "News" advertisers I can. First of all, let's kill Goodreads for real. Storygraph exists! Fable exists! You can transfer your history to Storygraph! Do that and delete your Goodreads!

This is a fantastic thread!

Today's Top Find. I'm nearly at the end. There's only the kitchen left and that's going to be hardest as it's the room that most reminds me of Mama. Piles of papers etc. For now though, let us gaze upon this in all it's glory.

A cannonball found fired in 1568 found again after 457 years in the bell tower of a Liège church in Belgium. www.rtbf.be/article/pers...

I need some help with today's find. It's pretty, but is it valuable? It's an Erika three-bank portable with a German keyboard. That probably means it's Model 4 or earlier, pre 1928. I can't find a serial number. @danieljowen.bsky.social, @seanh.bsky.social says you might be the person to ask?

Oh thank goodness, a break from the doomscrolling. Definitely a thread to read.

Today's find. A wind up gramophone that I assume was made by our grandfather, the engineer. Part of it is a hacksaw blade. The box is crumbling to dust but the parts are fine.

A police station in Chile adopts an orphaned baby llama.

Yesterday's find. Elderly copper electric kettle, with what I assume is the original wiring.
