We won Bronze in the team category. That’ll do nicely 😁

“It’s not the winning it’s the taking part!” Oh yes absolutely, unless it’s ME we’re talking about, in which case…

If I ever say something this wild to you, it's because it's my duress phrase, I've been kidnapped and I need your help to rescue me, which is to say, has anyone checked on Jon Fasman? Does his editor know if he published this from the trunk of a Buick in the pine barrens?

Without downloading anything, where are you mentally right now?

Pisces: Joy, love, hope, and prosperity are just some of the words that are foreign to you.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Do I have any followers who were around in the first few years of Kylux who are good at remembering user names?

My life is a series of questionable artistic decisions. I made a huge pyramid to display spouse’s Warhammer models for this year’s Armies on Parade

“Why do you want an Easter Lego kit? It’s October!” Hehehehehehehe (instructions from dicken_tututu on instagram)

After a six (?) year hiatus the fandom’s favourite hand model is back 🎉🧡🖤😸

Checking the news every morning like

I have been putting together material on 18th century erotica for a class. I'm including the original image but also thought no-one needed to gaze at this guy's dick for ten minutes (he'd be too into that and I don't want to encourage him) so I have made some slight changes.

Yesssssss Hades 2 is out of early access! Are Supergiant still cowards or will we finally be able to smooch Charon?

The good news is that store brand paracetamol only causes an intense interest in trains/ponies/musicals and an unwillingness to smile at gross old guys in supermarkets

Pisces: Death is inevitable, but with enough glitter, you can at least make the inevitable fabulous.

THEY DEFORMED ME, COOP. REDUCED ME DOWN TO ONLY MY MOST RECOGNIZABLE CHARACTERISTICS. I’M A CUTESY SHELL OF MY FORMER SELF. THE BOYS AT QUANTICO ARE CALLING ME A “CHEE-BEE.” I’M SEVEN CENTIMETERS TALL, COOP. 150 GRAMS OF VINYL PLASTIC.

I think M Night Shyamalan is a guy who can really effectively set up a bowling lane, everything placed perfectly, and then he brings his most expensive and beautiful pool cue to get the ball down the lane. You should listen to media club plus season 2 about M Night, first 3 episodes out now!

Alien will never reach this level of threat until they understand that the scariest predator is one that doesnt look scary. I adore xenomorphs as a concept but tribbles are so much worse

Sat in a micro pub shouting “FFS just listen to @edzitron.com !!” like it’s my goddamn job

Omg our shrimps had babies and they’re SO TINY! This photo shows an adult amano shrimp (4cm) and a baby neocaridina shrimp (4mm). Can you spot the baby?

If you see this, quite with the energy you bring to Bluesky

Really enjoying the Alien TV show, three episodes in and no sign of the nonsense that ruined the last few movies. Also the squiggly eyeball is adorable, I need three immediately

honey, what's wrong, you've hardly touched your festive fall gendered butt wipes

No new pictures, where are you mentally?

Got a deadline so of course I had to paint a new Halloween sign instead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This was a great episode but I’m especially happy to have already fulfilled the ‘just put Christine in your books!’ directive. (Disclaimer: not actually Christine, Byron restored a 1957 Plymouth Fury but painted black cos he’s a goth & also not suicidal enough to paint her red)

one morning, when gregor samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a very hungry caterpillar

You come for me like this, in my own timeline…

Pisces: You can be anything you want to be! And by anything, we mean a lonely street goblin at a Renaissance Faire.

“Exploring the borders between dinner and sinner?” That’s the one border I’d rather be enforced, thanks

Don't forget to get your pitches in for next year's series of Romancing the Gothic talks! romancingthegothic.com/2025/09/02/r...

Not an academic? Not a problem. I’m just a nerd who likes to tell people about my morbid special interests, and I’ll be doing my fourth talk for RtG tomorrow. So, if you’ve got something good and Gothic to share, do consider submitting a pitch!

Using this piece by @reallygoodwizard.bsky.social in my introductory lectures for my design students.

I’m so sad I listened to this too late to send in my contemporary viewing experience, but I’m gonna share it here. I saw it at 16 with my mum the week it released. We’d avoided all the spoilers. As soon as Bruce Willis appears again after the shooting she gasps “oh he’s dead!!” OMG the GLARES

honestly shocked at how well signs holds up tbh
