I’ve long followed Caroline’s work, always proud & moved by her & her colleagues’ (including @zackpolanski.bsky.social )
efficient, diligent work, with & alongside others where possible. Proportional systems can reduce adversariality.

Politics doesn’t *have* to be a bucket of piranhas! #TeamGreen

I love a quince. People are just giving them away this year. Slice em thin and they are good in a crumble with apples. Great steeped in gin (like sloes). Great just to have a bowl of them in the house for their scent.

Quote this with the first 4 Horror movies that come to your mind that are 10/10s for you. No cheating. Just the first 4 that pop into your head.
The Haunting 1963
Dead of Night 1945
Night of the Demon 1957
Dracula 1958
saw all of these on TV as a kid. Didn’t pop in my head - they are always there.

Woody. Base of dense decomposing leaves and fungus compressed under sludge. Middle notes of warm post-Christmas cinnamon and crisp pine. Concerning top notes of airy cosmic nothingness.

Tonight at Gloucester Cathedral, I'm looking forward to reading some of Ivor Gurney's incredibly moving war poems + some new work of my own, noticing how contemporary war poems shift and echo work written more than a century ago, how alike we still are.
