The problem with having just read a classic novel, then trying to watch an adaptation as someone with degree-level knowledge of literature and adaptation/remediation: Oh God This Is So Bad and also now I have about 15 essays in my head about why.

My obsession with anything @catswrites.bsky.social has ever written is certainly coming to a middle. Which one to pick up next? So many options…

Gotta love the @netflix.com booth at gamescom. First, they had excellent morning coffee. Then they had lovely ice cream. They also have a giant pirate ship which is very cool but I cannot eat or drink that.

As far as fire and brimstone on folk nights go, Heather Dale’s ‘Joan’ is up there, but also I pulled it off and I am rather proud of how my singing has come along.

The amount of times I solve a cryptic crossword clue and it is just utterly infuriating is getting... somewhat concerning.

Find out what makes you happy. A lot of what we do - hobbies, leisure activities - are governed by social expectations. Find out what *you* like, and then make sure to do it, at least occasionally.
If you’re over 30, quote this with some life advice 🤌🏼

Pope Leo's first sermon and, uh, his using the phrase "be ever more fully a city set upon a hill" and cf'ing it to Rev 21:10 instead of any of the others before saying "many baptized Christians" are "living in a state of practical atheism" is. Well. Shots fired!

Read Pope Leo XIV's first homily as pope
During his homily, delivered in Italian, Leo XIV said that Christians must serve a world that is often hostile to their beliefs.

Driving from Reading to Leeds after work on a Friday (a 4 hour drive at least, 4.5 in our case with a dinner stop) is certainly a choice. Better than a 7am start tomorrow, but choices were made.

That moment when you realise that you have a half-finished, 50k draft of the exact kind of m/m historic romance you've been obsessed with reading recently sitting on your hard drive. That you wrote. Back in 2017 or so.
Guess I'm picking that back up then...

I realised I had stopped reading again, because all the books I was attempting needed more spare brain than I currently have to give. So I picked up Slippery Creatures by @kjcharleswriter.com and devoured it in three days. I just need silly queer romance in my life, the hard-hitting sci fi can wait.

Today I planted a raspberry bush and a lavender, and sowed kohlrabi, celeriac, tomatoes, chilis, cucumbers and a whole bunch of different herbs. My garden will be so bountiful.

Which'll almost certainly be another defence of the Cass Report, because of course it will, but that doesn't mean we stop pushing them on this.

My quest to introduce the local pub folk night to people they might not have heard of continues. This time, @taliskimberley.bsky.social, I chose Archetype Café as my first song of the night (and promptly mangled the key change, sorry…).

They say a person dies twice: once when their heart stops beating, and once when their name is spoken for the last time.
It is, therefore, my favourite act of necromancy: walking a cemetery, tracing the withered names on washed-out sandstones, and speaking them again out loud.
