Not happy to learn BSKY suspended Patton Oswalt. He is one of the good guys. I guess this platform is no different from all the rest. So over social media.

what’s important to me: loving the humans and animals in my life, writing, and spending time in nature, which is a spiritual practice for me. I have the opportunity to do all of those now, unlike when I was younger, busier making a living, and confused about what was important.

I have been deciding whether to winnow down to one platform in the year 2026. Substack continues to be my favourite but Bluesky is running a close second. I wish more of my friends would begin blogging. I’d love to hear what they have to say.

Unless I absolutely must for professional reasons, I will not be watching your nuclear war movie. I will not be watching your incredibly bleak and depressing murder show. I will not be watching your artistic despair. It’s nothing personal, I just don’t order water when I’m already bailing my boat.

Five Things So Lit open.substack.com/pub/nadine38... A few spooky reads, classic, mid-century and contemporary novels for long fall evenings. These are short novels and one could ostensibly read all five in a month. Happy Halloween xo #halloween #booksky #horrornovels #horrorsky #horrorbooks

#TheTwen2ie5 10/50 Arooj Aftab — ‘Raat Ki Rani’ (Pakistan, 2024)
Same comment as last time I posted this: Her vocal is so light it's as though it could float away and carry you off with it, but the music underneath is tense and grounding. Brilliant record

Lunch at Westfalia Bakery never disappoints. The croissant was stuffed with ham and cheese, the bun with sweet/savoury Bulgogi beef. 10/10
