the Sharks have harnessed the power of the Jets?

I'd apologise but I have the same earworm

my brother and sister in law spent some time in Cambodia working with a local nature reserve and said there was one radio in the village where they were, and it played two songs on repeat: Gangnam Style and What Makes You Beautiful

that sounds like the kind of argument that didn't go well for Charles I

that makes so much sense! (Mum was a librarian, there was never any shortage of books in the house, but I did wonder why and how the Arnold Bennetts made it in there)

searching to confirm the title told me there was a telly series adaptation of Anna in the mid 80s which is probably why my parents had a copy in the house

I read Clayhanger and Anna of the Five Towns as a teen and now remember asolutely nothing about either novel!

Just finished watching Tales Unrolled and @luiscarazo.bsky.social you and your players (I don't know how many are on bsky!) broke my heart in the most beautiful way! Stunning world, characters, mythology, relationships and I want to watch it all over again.

I couldn't manage both and I love the Swan more than the main house these days, so Cherry Orchard won out

I deleted all my accounts when the Russians took over, but oh, it hurt.

Assuming Livejournal is social media - SO MUCH. It introduced me to fandom, to wonderful friends, to music and tv and theatre and movies that I'd never have discovered alone. It got me gig jobs back when I was working as a musician. It got me support to get medical diagnoses.

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

"we can't ask because they might say no and if they say no we can't do the thing" yes, that's how a society works, that's not something we want to "disrupt"

Vae @vae.bsky.social · 7d

we're going to Cherry Orchard!

I'm never forgiving Nick Clegg for going into coalition with the Tories and increasing university tuition fees when he'd run on a platform of reversing their introduction. Nothing I've seen since has convinced me to change my opinion of him.

ok. Start asking, then. And respect it when they refuse.
