I don't know.

I'd prolly touch it.

The Witches Chair from the Mermaid Inn, Rye, East Sussex.
Judith Blincow the owner of the Inn has this to say about it, ‘It is a seventeenth century chair which used to belong to a witches’ coven and has a curse on it.’ We always tell people not to touch it.’

Witches and that sort,

Can we talk about burnout and/or boredom in the craft?

It feels like I haven't been expanding myself lately. I spend a good bit of time preparing events for our community every month with three other members. Our paths are all different so we take turns leading the events. I partially started doing this thinking I would find others who follow a similar path to mine and we could do group work together (not as a coven but as a circle).

#Selfcare

I just watched an interesting video where Doctor Eilers explains that self care is not what most people think. It’s not treating yourself to a nice dessert or a day at the spa, or a weekend trip.

Instead it is more about fulfilling your most basic needs, as shown in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs: mainly enough sleep, rest, healthy food, physical activity, contact with loved ones, friends, family etc.

But there is a whole industry out there that wants to sell you self care products.

I have written a blog about self care a few years ago but I think I need to revise that some time.

The video: "Self Care is a Scam“

If you love horror movies please give my daughter's TeenHorrorCast a listen. She's so right that she, as a girl, had a really different take (and the right take I think) on this film than I did at first, and she changed the way I thought about it completely.

Mastodon folks tend to be pretty tech-savvy, but it's come to my attention that simply not knowing how to get ebooks not purchased from a big retailer onto their e-reader stops some people from getting books that way. So I wrote a helpful guide! Share it with someone who wants to support DIY authors and small presses! https://write.as/brendanhalpin/how-to-load-downloaded-books-onto-your-e-reader

Remember to include little human touches in your work so that it breathes. Random bits of humour. Rude or angry graffiti. Kids playing with a rock.

Stonehenge in the late 19th century, vs today.

How far should we go in restoring ancient sites?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the only one stopping you from becoming a rumpled library detective with a checkered past who lives in a little cottage on the coast filled with black market rum & grumpy cats is you.

When I eat alphabet soup, I only eat the vowels.

Why?

Sometimes.

Didn't watch the Grammy's. Reading up on the "Fast Car" performance with Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs. My heart is full.

Had 2 copies of that album (1 cassette, 1 CD). Can't play the cassette now. Wore it out in the 80s/90s.

I wish I could find the full performance somewhere.

Look at that wonderful monster claw clutching a steering wheel. This is the kind of moment this monster fan lives for, and it comes from The Night Caller (1965).

This wonderful gentleman was quoted over £5,000 for a new boiler installation.
He called Community Plumbing & Heating Support - CPH CIC ( D.E.P.H.E.R ) for a second opinion.
After we assessed his situation and his partners situation we decided to do a #FREE boiler installation for him, his partener was in a care home, being cared for as he was very ill, he had very little left after paying towards the care.

He said to me
" Is it OK if I have a husband "
He thought that we would say no.

Yesterday: Another grey, drizzly day, another noble, lovely sparrow along the river trail. Folks can say what they will about the wet or the wind we've been having, but it does make for some lovely movement and colors on the trails, and it brings out the sparrows posing after their baths.

THE SPIDER LABYRINTH (1988) is an Italian supernatural conspiracy horror film with stop motion effects.

Frankly, that sentence should be enough to convince many of you (you know who you are) that you need to see this film.

Exterior street in at night, in the rain, in Budapest. The architecture recalls the exterior of the apartment building where the opening double murder of Suspiria occurs.
