Every now and then I remember that this Plath finger puppet exists. #SylviaPlath #SheCouldNeverHaveImaginedThis

#SuperCedar by #byredo. This is a really soft scent, cosy, warm. Stupidly expensive. It feels like a fragrance that someone would have to get close to you to smell. 6/10 #TryingToDescribeFragrancesIsHard #WritingExercise

It’s *really* hard to describe a scent, but I am going to try.

(I’ve amassed quite a collection of discovery sets & beauty box samples so figured I’d start reviewing them.)

👀 It's me!

I am proud to be a Library Champion.
Equal access for all - information, books galore, games, companionship, and a safe space - what a beautiful thing that is.

Meet Bob, my pet algae. He’s just had his first rinse and water change and is ready to carry on being groovy.

We employ a team of four Prisoner Library Assistants to help us run the library at Ford Prison. All of them are Library Champions who encourage other prisoners to make use of our services and enjoy everything we have to offer. 📚 🏅🏆

Me right now, not wanting to get up and go back to work after a week off. #bedselfie

I’ll read anything Sittenfeld writes but this was disappointing. I wasn’t too interested in the comedy skits; I’m not sure the humour landed. Noah felt cardboardy. What did work was how she writes on self sabotage - the way we fuck things up and sit in the awkwardness. Thoughts?

This is the sky right now. It is so sparkly and utterly beautiful.

New experience unlocked 😉 got locked on a pier. One of those times you think, no! There must be a way. There was not. Two big iron gates with huge padlocks & nobody around.

Spoiler - At the end of the pier was a helpful man who fetched a code for the padlock. But for a few minutes…

The best part of being an editor is sharing excellent writing. Congratulations to the writers we have nominated this year @theforge.bsky.social

I saw this recently and was amused.

Oh guys, I went a bit budget with my skincare and it was a complete waste of money. I figured Sali Hughes is a dependable beauty journalist so her collab with Revolution would be decent.
The moisturiser smells like scented nappy bags...

Oh Sarah, be warned - it is a slippery slope. I held off for so long but now …

What an excellent washing up brush. Expensive but sturdy and the smiley faces (yes, plural - the end serves as a stand *and* has a face) bring me joy.
