i don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you’re currently stuck on a plot point or in a writing rut in general, the only two fixes are to either go for a walk or read something else. repeat until cured 🩶

lmao no, TikTok users are not moving to Bluesky. They would literally rather learn Mandarin than learn how to read a feed of text posts. This is a millennial retirement home.

YES! finding a random movie on tv has become our packing go-to, both on the night before a trip or the night before returning home. it’s the best.
And it's funny how, even though you can now watch almost any film any time, it still feels great to stick on the telly when one is being screened and feel that you're watching it in a crowd with other people on their sofas.
