It's giving Disney villain...
Madame Medusa, villain of Disney movie The Rescuers. She has red hair and is wearing a red dress, gaudy jewellery and too much eye makeup.

Today's tiny poem.
White text on black background reads: This morning, I just lay there It snowed last night Shovels scrape the sidewalk Somewhere beyond the whiteness the world burns on I should fix inequality I should fix injustice I should fight for the dream that was I should brush my teeth But sleep doesn't do what it once did This morning, I just lay there

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky.
Screenshot of a post from a user named Amy, which reads: I used to laugh at jokes with setups and punchlines but now it's just stuff like this. Below is a picture of a yellowed device with two lights and a speaker, labelled "SMORK ALAM" (sic).

I really enjoyed this one too - includes illustrative cartoons, which makes it an extra fun and easy read! And yes, the space colonist oligarchs are delusional.

To start the new year fresh, I put the dog's blanket in the wash. Judging by the side-eye, she's having a terrible 2025 so far.

A quick roundup 🧵 of the books on my #BookChallenge long list that didn't quite make the final cut. All too good to leave them languishing in my notes app!

Resisting the urge to binge Lidia Poët S2 because I'll be too sad when it's over. I love the choices for the time jump between seasons, the way romance serves the story but isn't the goal, the period politics, how the crimes reflect theme...oh, and the costume design is DIVINE. 👌❤️ 🇮🇹 📺 #scriptsky

A personal - favourite is the wrong word, but YKWIM - a complex of pit houses identified in Banff in 1914, likely built by Indigenous Secwépemc peoples. Likely around 4000 years old and the first protected site in Canada. Destroyed by expansion of the Banff Springs Golf Course around 1928.
Map with a cluster of circles, showing location of ancient pit houses in Banff, Alberta, identified in 1914 but destroyed in the late 1920s. From Langemann & Greaves 2015: Curiosities, Collectors and Housepits in Banff National Park: The First Protected Archaeological Site in Canada.

Been quiet on socials for a week away with my fave person.

Our (fab) hotel had named rooms - many hilarious choices were made, but this one was my fave.

In other news, must book tickets for that new Robert Eggers film I keep hearing about...
