I had no idea this was happening! Loved this book!

This is the lesson of 2025

It happened. Last night I was feeling despair about a lot of different things and I realized I needed to enlist my dog’s help to make me feel better. I present to you Maggie the Pug as Cher Pugowitz.

It’s boiling in October because you’re using ChatGPT to write your emails, Janice.

Read some great books over the weekend. First up, The Possession Of Alba Díaz by Isabel Cañas. Set in 1700s Mexico. It's a commentary on bodily autonomy, female rage, and the Church. World building was excellent! Demonic possession & there's a romance! Inhaled it! Highly rec #booksky #romancelandia

Well, since I'm awake....

I have so many great books lined up for spooky season. I wish I could take a whole month off from life just to read them all.

Storm Amy is rolling in here today so I propose hot cups of tea all round, a good book & feet up whilst wearing a quilted dressing gown. These were made in Japan in huge numbers for the Western market, quilted & embroidered in a range of floral motifs. Both 1880s #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡 @metmuseum.org

Jessie Cleaver’s The Duke She Married is FREE on Chirp. It’s a Beauty & the Beast retelling which yes, please! I’m not sure how long the deal lasts so snap it up if you’re interested. #romancelandia 💙📚 www.chirpbooks.com/audiobooks/t...

This brought me joy!

Popping in to remind you that this action-packed enemies to lovers swashbuckling romantasy is now on #kindleunlimited! -witch pirates -magic -female rage -quests -slow burn to spice

Whilst the sunny silk satin is all aglow in mid 1860s splendour, this dress is really all about the black lace. Its flounces stand out in contrast so that each motif is evident against the brightest background, Palazzo Pitti @uffizigalleries.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

What great news!!!! Love that this is happening!

This has been one of my favourite V&A images for a long time. The rich synthetic purple is a reminder of the equally vivid lives of the Victorians, not dull and unsmiling but as colourful as our own. An early #1870s colour bomb to kick off the week #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I hand over an invisible ‘Tree Of The Day’ award to the most charismatic tree I see on each of my walks. Here are just a few past winners of this esteemed but still largely unknown prize.

About to go to my annual mammogram. This is just a friendly reminder to get yours scheduled if you haven’t. 🩷

Absolutely cannot wait!!!! This looks amazing 😍

This is Radley. He's being accused of stealing a bag of bagels. That's ridiculous. He was just keeping this one warm for you. 13/10 please show some appreciation (TT: carrie.pietz)

This is an ensemble that I love because it is just so unflinchingly bold. As if the mid #1890s didn’t have enough going on with the proportion of its sleeves, this gal decided to go all out in scarlet as well #fidmmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Wishing everyone a great Fall.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

Please say yes 🙏🏻

Happy Monday!

I took yesterday off all socials and I’m glad I did. Instead, I spent my day reading, cleaning, and baking and feel so much better for it. I may have to do that more often.

Today’s moment of joy:

Just block anyone who, like @resnikoff.bsky.social, lies about what the Black women who've been doing the work for years have said. They are not worth arguing with and they cannot tell you anything of value. The whole debate is an excellent filtering mechanism for feed hygiene.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Got my COVID and flu shot this afternoon and now am ready to have a cozy weekend with a pile of histroms

If you could use a getaway at a little boarding house by the London docks, the first four books in the Palace of Rogues series are on sale for $4.99. Angelique & Delilah would love to get a room ready for you. ;) tinyurl.com/ykwzvh2d 💙📚 #romancelandia

Today's a good day to practice self care. Drink some tea. Read a book. Disappear into a fog on the trackless moors and follow ghosts as they wander between forgotten tombs. Share tea & stories with your new ghost friends.

For the Regency romance readers

This looks very cool!!!

I’m still mad that I spend more time agreeing with Bill Kristol and Jen Rubin than dunking on them and my 2007 precocious teenage self would be horrified
