me, when i have to interact with the real world for even one (1) second
Musician and singer, CMAT from the 'Jamie Oliver Petrol Station' music video. CMAT is dressed in an amazing lime green tank top and matching skirt, with a long-sleeve purple top underneath and a wide black belt. She has red hair and is holding a cornetto ice cream in her right hand. Behind her is a row of four plastic chairs, a tall green plant in a white pot and a grey/white background. CMAT has her hand on her hip and is grimacing at the camera is a forced smile. The caption 'OK, don't be a bitch' is over her head.

way too icy for my run this morning, so had to turn back halfway to avoid the risk of a broken ankle, but look at that blue sky 💙
A view of my regular running route which shows a frosty rural road lined with bare trees and hedgerows. The sky is a gorgeous ombre of dark blue at the top right down to a pale bluish white at the horizon. The sun is shining and the air is clear and fresh.

This poem is dedicated to anyone heading back into work and having to endure dull conversation about what they got up to during the Christmas holidays.
New Year Office Chitchat How was your Christmas? you ask and I think of the bloodstained rug and the silent scraping of the spade in the garden at midnight and the wash wash washing of my hands and the dreams, those endless dreams which haunt the night-time and smudge their thumbprints on the day to come and I reply Super, thanks. Yours?

monday
The 'y tho' meme, depicting a chubby little monkey figure from an old painting. They have a lovely round head and a cloth covering on their hair and are dressed in robes. Rosary beads are entwined in their fingers. And 'y tho' is written in white text next to their chin.

a man with his eyes closed says we 've had one yes but what about second breakfast ?
Alt: Pippin from Lord of the Rings says 'We've had one, yes. But what about second breakfast?'

different dogs
different seasons
same fairytale road
Wilma the Belgian shepherd stands on a trail looking off to the right. Everything is lush and green. There is lots of grass on the trail and there are bushy trees everywhere. The sun is hanging low in the sky casting a lovely warm glow over the scene. Marina the saluki lurcher stands on the trail looking off to the right. It's frosty cold and the full moon hangs low in the pre-dawn sky. Trees and bushes are bare and the grass is dormant and short. Marina wears her 'wealthy landowner' jacket over her little blue and orange sweater.

my boyfriend just handed me a package containing a christmas present from him to me that arrived late and i...

to be loved is to be known...
Close up shot of my feet and lower legs. I'm wearing a pair of novelty socks which are brown and white stripes and have big stuffed cat heads sewn around the ankles. Four round and cute paws are placed along the 'body' of the sock, which is basically the length of my foot. I'm wearing leggings and I'm standing in the kitchen. The floor is mock wood tile and there is a fridge and a table and chairs in the background. Same shot, except this time, I'm tilting my left foot towards the camera, like I'm on a red carpet. Which I totally would be if I wore these socks all the time because they are incredible.

just rewatched KNIVES OUT GLASS ONION with a first timer and tbh i enjoyed it more this time around, if only to drool once more over kate hudson's iridescent dress
Kate Hydson in a promo shot as Birdie Jay in 'Knives Out Glass Onion'. She's wearing a fabulous iridescent halter neck dress of gold, green, blue and red. She looks like a shiny beetle. Her hair is soft waves, and she's demurely holding the side of the dress with her left hand.

sweater weather
Marina the saluki lurcher rescue stands outside a white and blue cottage. She's wearing a peach and blue sweater. A slightly different angle of the same shot.

it is fucking DEPRESSING the amount of screenwriters using AI for pitch decks, posters, and their own creative work, too

defend your use of it all you like but it makes you look cheap, it makes you look like a hack, and you're using work that's been stolen from your fellow artists to generate slop

These are unsettling times.
Upon Awakening to the Sounds of Distant Rumbles   He awakes from seasonal slumbers to distant rumbles. A storm approaching, perhaps, or the muffled guns from the ghost of a war long since waged upon faded fields.   The dawn chorus wakens the dead and rattles the brain as the back street clatter recedes into murmured memory and the awful truth emerges. Bin day! The revised Christmas holiday collection schedule.   Thoughts fly unbidden to the rooms of recycling, Pennines of packaging, glaciers of glass, corridors of cardboard and cartons, growing, overflowing, silently creeping up the staircase, across the landing, clawing at the bedroom door. The horror! The horror!   He lies there and tries to collect himself. Brian Bilston

not moving from this spot for any man, woman nor beast (unless marina needs a wee)
Marina the saluki lurcher rescue is curled upon her bed in the living room, her nose buried under a blankie. The photo is from my POV on my armchair by the fireplace. There's a christmas tree, a dresser, a footstool, a rug, a doorway to an office, a sofa and a TV hanging on the wall. My feet are covered with a blankie and I have a book on my lap open to a short story by Catherynne M Valenti.
