Bookworm, yogi, bird lady, bookseller, student of the esoteric, fan of the colder, darker seasons. I dream of the abolition of Daytime Saving.
On Volume 5 of #Proust #InSearchofLostTime (La Prisonnière). Proust reading groups are conspicuously absent from the online booksphere. There’s a Proust sub on Reddit, and semi-dead discussion thread on a Literature Discord I found. Are you reading Proust? Hit me up 🤙 #LiteratureSky 📚

Waking up at 3:00 AM unable to go back to sleep when your alarm is at 5:00 because weeks ago you offered to cover part of someone’s shift. Giving up and getting of bed at 4:30. Hating the moment you were born.

UK tour is banging.

Food is awful. Company is great. Favorite show’s so far Sheffield (home of Def Leppard) and Glasgow!

How do you get featured in a feed? I’ve used the right tag ( #birds ) but I can’t see my post. Please help out a BlueSky novice🙏🏻

I took this from Pigeon Rescue Netherlands but it's about a horrific plan of Turin's council in Italy. Please share and sign the petition www.change.org/p/fermiamo-l...

Have you all seen this—the massive pigeon statue called Dinosaur on the High Line? It puts such a grin on my face.

Art, and the joy and beauty it brings to life, is a form of resistance. #resist
Listening to Adeline (17) sing songs at the piano makes me feel like Trump, maybe, just maybe, won’t ruin everything I’ve ever loved about the USA.

If anyone is currently reading 'À la recherche...' in any language/translation, whatever volume you're at... I'll follow you! Currently on The Guermantes Way, Italian translation (Giovanni Raboni). We can geek out together 🤓 #proust

The expected standard “nope” government reply promptly came after reaching 10k. Signatures over 40k now, can we make it hit 100k so that the Govt is forced to debate it? Yes it’s pointless but it’s also a reminder 🇪🇺. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
Petition: Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible
I believe joining the EU would boost the economy, increase global influence, improve collaboration and provide stability & freedom. I believe that Brexit hasn't brought any tangible benefit and there ...

I’ve just seen a post by some techno influencer or something, saying something along the lines of “what’s so special about reading books”. Her tone irked me but THERE’S A BUTTON TO SAY “LESS LIKE THIS” 😍😍😍
