I mean, I knew I was going to enjoy @misterkristoff.bsky.social’s Empire of the Dawn event in Toppings tonight, even *before* he walked out wearing a Sleep Token hoodie - but then Brotherhood of the Wolf and The Lost Boys both got a shout-out and I knew I was in the right place

Frankenstein was every bit as beautiful as I (desperately) hoped it would be. I adored it.

I can’t claim to be an expert on faith and belief, but it’s always seemed to me that a fairly major component of Christianity revolves around humanity and empathy, and the friction between the concepts of the human and divine. And this feels like the exact opposite of that. It’s baffling.

I just finished Joey Batey’s It’s Not A Cult - and it is absolutely wild, in a really fun but also really dark way. It’s going to take me a day or two to digest it, but I don’t think I’ve read anything quite like it - or at least not for a long time

Excellent evening spent with the Bath Film Festival behind the colonnades, in a vault under the road and right next to the river, watching a film about water vampires. It was all filmed around Bath, and it was an absolute joy to watch it sitting right next to Pulteney Weir

That’s so weird - I did the same for a while! I think must have conflated her with Annie Mac at some point, because Annie looks *exactly* like I’d imagined Mary Anne to.

With Halloween and long nights coming up, and mock-exam season just around the corner, it feels like a good time to usher my study drug / exam stress horror set in and around London’s Barbican, Sleepless, out of the shadows.

I’m slightly devastated to have finished reading An Academic Affair (picked up on the strength of @sarramanning.bsky.social’s review, because when it comes to romance Sarra will never steer you wrong). Characters I could happily have spent far longer with, and a wine bar I’m distraught isn’t real

🎶 Girls don’t like boys,
Girls like miniature companies that send them a free buff Jack Pumpkinhead with their order because it’s October 🎶
(Seriously. I can’t stop laughing, and I cannot recommend We Print Miniatures enough)

For National Poetry Day, this piece of magic by Louis MacNeice, which manages to rip open and then gently lift my heart every time I read it. It’s never let me down yet.

A fine afternoon in which I went to see Caught Stealing (Austin Butler has a series of increasingly awful days), and walked home in gorgeous sunshine with Bath looking beautiful. Saw a very accurate signpost, and a huge dragonfly flew over my head right as Edge of Seventeen started on my headphones

Reading a romantasy where, for reasons, they just spent ten pages churning butter… and then didn’t wash it before they put it in tubs to store or sell or whatever.
Mel would never.

It’s the 24th September, which means it’s the anniversary of Branwell Brontë’s death. He died of “chronic bronchitis” and “marasmus” (wasting) - both linked to tuberculosis- at the Parsonage in Haworth, on Sunday 24th September 1848 and was interred in the family vault four days later.
