and for balance, a Tattercat.

I have to fill in the 3,467th form for PIP tribunal and I am desperately playing the HEated Rivalry soundtrack to stave off the existential dread.

Today's listening: The excellent Janelle Monae, live! youtu.be/wHd_2GiFFVM?...

I have succumbed to the Queer Hockey Show. And it is FUCKING GREAT

Last minute shopping for the Doom Fest and I keep finding things I want vaginamuseumshop.co.uk/collections/...

Sometimes studying environmental science involves complex checmical reactions and physics. Sometimes it involves reading the work of a seemingly furious scientist as they attempt to hit you over the head with the fact that Yes We Are Part Of Nature Actually No Really We Are Here Are Citations

PLOTTING COMPLETE READ MY POETRY ko-fi.com/s/57e2b0a98e

Have made a slightly non-traditional Xmas card for my husband...

It came upon a midnight clear that glorious song of old! Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn! Ph'nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!

Good morning. Bit of mudlarking.

PLOTTING COMPLETE READ MY POETRY ko-fi.com/s/57e2b0a98e

Ooo I was not of clever brain was I? Here are the reviews I have written: Fireheart Tiger meredithdebonnaire.wordpress.com/2023/07/20/b... In the Vanishers' Palace meredithdebonnaire.wordpress.com/2020/03/31/b...

The heated rivalry between the two students finally came to a head, and the swordmaster reluctantly agreed to let them duel, to first blood. It did not end as expected. "Next time," the swordmaster said at last, "I want you to wipe your swords and sheathe them before you start kissing."

Strongly recommend In The Red Scholar's Wake (excellent science fiction with marriage of convenience between a spaceship and a woman, plus pirates), The Tea Master and the Detective (What if Sherlock Holmes was a woman and Watson was a ship with PTSD?) (thread cont)

It is winter, and therefore I am A) full of snot B) watching Wolf Hall again

Where I am stealing energy from today: youtu.be/cMxSWgrvj4I?...

Had a dream last night in which lots of people were standing around in a vaguely Greek-ish temple, complete with mist and low-lying cloud. Everyone seemed to be slowly going between two desks, where they would pick up clock in cards and then get them punched in

Me last night: Ooooo time to sleep My brain (evil): WE HAVE THOUGHTS Me: no My brain (still evil): YOU NEED TO SORT ALL YOUR NOTEBOOKS, YOU GOTTA WRITE THIS THOUGHT DOWN OR IT WILL GO, YOU CAN'T SLEEP YOU HAVE TO CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF THE POEM THAT I AM ONLY GONNA GIVE TO YOU RIGHT NOW Me today:

Mostly I enjoy studying Environmental Science but sometimes it makes me feel like I need to put my head in the freezer and scream

Lil update post! including current listening (none of you will be surprised) and current writing meredithdebonnaire.wordpress.com/2025/11/12/g...

Finally have some time to start reading this! Absolute delight so far, feeling the lack of a keyboard I can try to plonk the tunes out with. If I use the clarinet I will be a semitone out on everything though xD

HOLY SHIT

Right. First one done in pencil, paint, chalk and White pen. I really, really hope this is as good as I think it is but I won't know for probably a week. Will colour this and draw my next book cover now.

Still listening to this album somewhat obsessively. youtu.be/EyugQLm560k?...

Hullo. I've illustrated games, comics, books, albums, magazines, etc. Been an illustrator since age 13. (And a lunatic since birth) The world needs enchantment, and I'm here to do my best to provide it. If you have a project I'd be suited for in 2026, I'd love to talk with you. thomassbrown.com

Currently reading The Tensorate series by Neon Yang. Thank you, Leeds Waterstones staff who immediately profiled me and asked if I would like a recommendation for queer Chinese diaspora fantasy. You were totally correct

Today is for the Queen of Owls.

Having funTM filling out my mandatory reconsideration notice form today. Like fuck me, is there anything designed to make you feel more like a smear on the floor than fighting with the DWP? I am powering through with the intention of writing angry poetry after

I have been reading a book of Ursula Le Guin interviews. This part about The Left Hand Of Darkness cracked me up. (These days I think a lot more guys might think it was wonderful too 😁).

Listening to Hozier again youtu.be/aezstCBHOPQ?...

Autumn! That's it. That's the post, except Witches! Yep. That's all I have to say.

if you're unfamiliar with Quaker speak, "We find this to be an attempt at lobbying by stealth, outside the discernment discipline of the Yearly Meeting, and an unhelpful method of communication – as outlined in Quaker Faith and Practice 03.04." is how you say 'fuck you and the horse you rode in on'
