Now Bluesky has pinned posts I guess I should re-create this. Proud to be the operator of the first webserver on the internet to send "GNU Terry Pratchett" in the overhead. Instructions for doing so are at www.reddit.com/r/discworld/...
Screenshot of a tweet from March the 12th, 2015. Tweet reads: Modified our apache server to have a custom header called "X-Clacks-Overhead" with a value of "GNU Terry Pratchett" and links to an image (which will be linked in a reply to this post)

they say it's the easiest thing in the world to be kind but we all have our struggles and some days it can be the most bravest thing in the world to let yourself be open and compassionate! you're not a sucker, not a doormat, not naive, you are absolute goals 🌹

The legend lives on, from the Britons on down
Of the river they called the Tamesis
The river, they say, acts more like a bay
When the tides hit the sand banks near Sheerness
With a hold full of bombs, weighing 6000 tonnes
Came the good ship the Richard Montgomery

I promised animal stories, so: the Ballad of Curly, Best of Owls. CWs for thread: domestic abuse, animal-on-asshole violence.

Philip Larkin’s this be the verse mangled into Ozymandias, the text reads They Oz you up, your mandyias. They may not mean to, but they do. They give you vast and trunkless legs A sunken shattered visage too. But they were Ozzed up in their turn By Mandyias upon the sand Who half the time had wrinkled lips And half in sneering cold command. Oz hands on mandyias to man. Like mighty works atop a shelf Look on them early as you can Ye mighty and despair yourself

I'm not saying a writer's retreat is a bad thing. I'm just saying that it should be a tactical decision designed to lure your enemy into a trap so you can turn a difficult situation into a successful writer's attack.

Under Over Over - West Hampstead

So it's taken a while, but I've finally found a location where you can clearly see London Underground trains traveling over London Overground trains.

The vantage point is at West Hampstead Overground station at the end of the platform.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:
Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins: Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright (Not sure if I spelled that right) What immortal hand or eye Could fashion such a stripy guy? What the hammer that hath hewn it Into such a chonky unit? Did who made the lamb make thee, Or an external franchisee?

Tried to water the baby asparagus but the spout was blocked so I tried to shove the blockage down into the can but the thing inside shoved back.

Computer…enhance.

A green watering can with its spout blocked by something beige. It’s blocked by a frog! A frog’s face is glaring at me from inside the green watering can.
