This song was playing on the radio as I drove to university, aged 18, leaving home for the first time. I was so nervous I pranged a car at a traffic light near the campus. The driver let me off. The song reminds me of that, and the whirlwind weeks of making friends, partying, and exploring. Wow.

I wonder how many people have this in their @letterboxd.social 2024 round-up?!!

Flying Dream 1 - what a brilliant Elbow album! Full of melody and quiet resolution.

And that's 30 rejections for my crime novel. Time to quit submitting I think! #writing

My son got this question in a test, but got it wrong. The pic shows the size and direction of forces acting on the astronaut. In which direction will they move when the forces are applied?

It kicks off today... 🎄🌟🕯️🎅

Also loving the new Beirut song. Wow - so beautiful.

I'm obsessed with The Cure's new album. Love it.

Has anyone else ever had someone sit opposite them on a train, tear out a single-use cosmetic face mask from a pouch, and sit there, staring, with a second skin sitting on their face? Happened to me on Weds night.

Monstrilio by Gerardo Sámano Córdova is a wonderful, extraordinary novel. A little rank, in places, but also hugely moving.

@filmstories.bsky.social Just got the latest. Loving it...

He'd never be on it anyway, but knowing Paul Auster will never be on Bluesky saddens me.

I used to be terrified of posting about writing and the agent querying process on X. Feels like a much more supportive community here.

So much space here...
