I write books, drive a mobile library bus, help organise a yearly literary festival, drink wine, do poetry, read a bunch, and shout about things I love. Specialist subjects are crochet and dinosaurs. They/Them 💜🤍🖤
I'm having so much fun! I've not done any drawing for ages 😊 thank you for hosting, I'm really enjoying looking up pictures of the daily nudibranch and being delighted that such beautiful ridiculous creatures exist 💜

Oh that's so cute! I think could assemble it for you... I can swap you for... *rummages in bag*... a couple of pinecone-shaped foraging purses?

How much of each millionaire do we have to consume? I seem to recall that prions are only an issue if you eat the brain (although I may be wrong) so maybe if we just left that bit aside?

I'm really enjoying looking up reference pictures on inaturalist each day and saying "how is this a real creature?? That's obviously a fancy jelly bean" 😊

Sorry to hear you're going through it, sending all best wishes. Here's a photo of me last week when I visited the Wondrous Yew in Gresford (it is indeed wondrous and I was very excited).

Like, if you can't give us some kind of ending to season 1, why should I believe you'll give us any answers in season 2? Or season 10, for that matter? I worry it means YOU don't know the answers either.
It's doubly frustrating because I've quite enjoyed what they're doing.

And listen I'm fine with a few loose ends, maybe a fun lil cliffhanger to keep us eager for next season, but I object to there being nothing resolved, no plot threads tied up, no explanations, and no resolutions.
