Physical books all the way and this year trying to push myself to read authors/genres I wouldn’t be aware of previously. But time & distraction is an issue, mornings with coffee is best so little chunks at a time. Audio not so much anymore tho good for long walks … but boy do I love a good book!

autumnal and damp

free fallin’ 🍂

autumnal yellowy leaves strewn on damp morning mulch path as damp dog blends into the pale leafy colour while other trees cling on to their green

on the rocks

monochrome morning view of the sea splashing against the rocks, cloud filled sky greyish. depressingly void of colour and light

Now, more than ever, you have to be a weird little pervert who makes art of questionable quality. You need to be driven crazy by the flesh. Because, as we all learned from Cronenberg's The Fly, the computers are not made crazy by the flesh. They can't do it like us.

Whenever I see men complain about the male loneliness crisis or unique emotional/psychological issues faced by men, it’s very clear that they just don’t see women as full people capable of experiencing the exact same emotions they do

This morning’s sunrise over Marseille.

The sky appears to be on fire. The distant horizon and city buildings frame the fire with darkness.

I actually don't think it's unhinged but: If you're a man who considers himself well read, if you've studied literature and try to read "all the greats", but you haven't read a single Jane Austen story? Then I can't take your literary opinions seriously.

"Language has been verbing for as long as it has languaged." New post on Agatha Christie – as a verb stancarey.wordpress.com/2025/10/11/t...

when a dark secret from your past threatens to destroy the new idyllic life you've created for yourself

little yorkie named Rupert sitting in a big pinky beige-colored blanket, leaning up against a dark brown leather couch. there is a potted plant behind him, he's wearing a tiny terracotta sweater. he has a very William H Macy-in-Fargo expression on his face, like he's nervously smiling.
