The mantra in my house is: be unbutterable!
I feel it in my soul.
Isn’t it amazing the way life can seem too short, and intrinsically magical, yet at the same time feel like a long, uphill road, potholed with fuckwits?

Since The Night Guest is coming out in paperback we decided to try to gift another copy bitten by Uggi. And it went … a little *too* well. (See picture 🧵)
Like and share this post and on December 30th I will select a winner and send them this teeth marked copy!

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

I've lived in Scotland for 2+ decades and, therefore, have only a few "firsts" left available to me. Today, however, was my first macaroni pie.

This is correct. 🍎
even mediocre apple pie is great to me though

I can't even begin to process this. Feels like grounds to unfollow.
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

Add cats and this is pretty much me, yup.
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Raccoons are showing early signs of domestication.
Urban raccoons are evolving a short snout, a telltale feature of pets & other domesticated animals, but scientists believe this is just a ploy to get closer to our trash.
This is Roy. We feed him but aren't falling for his bullshit act.
