Bluesky is dying. Please follow me @ albertthecarrierpigeon. He likes sunflower seeds. Please, no timewasters, or cats. Thank you.
Rich & powerful white men destroying the planet for short-term gains as if their grandkids won’t require water, fertile soil & breathable air in the future. 🤷♂️
When this national nightmare is finally over, no pardons. No “This is necessary to heal the country.” Public trials. Jail time. We need to expose, convict & punish every corrupt & complicit one of them.

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? O fitted sheet, where is thy short end?
Cool! Looking forward to it! 🦈
Ending the summer by seeing a 50th anniversary showing of the ultimate summer blockbuster ‘Jaws’ tomorrow, but this time in 3D!
Humidh
I have a piece of furniture at home made up of many different elements. I mostly use it as a desk, but it’s also a periodic table.
Narrator: It was, in fact, not enough and, naturally, no changes were made in this country.
I don’t know why they named it Hoth when quite clearly it is coldh. And send.
Nice of Cracker Barrel to give the MAGA crowd something to celebrate on the day Taylor Swift announces her engagement.
Not saying that they copied our engagement photo, but it’s suspicious nonetheless… 🤔 Congrats, anyway. 🥂
I hope there’s an official announcement when we’re finally great again. I wouldn’t want to miss it.
My dedication to this cause knows no bounds.
I may not be the busiest person in the office, but godammit my laptop is always fully updated.
I’d love to get some MG and YA indie books for kids/teens. If you’ve got one - ONLY IF IT IS MG OR YA - please drop a link below for me to browse! I’m looking for books for YOUNGER readers, so this isn’t a *rec it to me personally* post. Hit me! 🥰
Here’s my pirate tale. The sequel will be published later this year: www.amazon.com/dp/B0CVYPN5Z2
I’m in the mood to watch a film where an older man is painting someone’s name on a glass office door and he gets yelled at to go away and finish it later.
The current Republican party will eventually collapse. The Democrats will attempt to reconstruct whatever is left of this country by implementing necessary progressive ideas, but will split. It’s going to be a decade or more of chaos.
Damn, they went and made England woke.
Even though I’m in the US, I expect my employers to respect my cultural identity. Therefore I will recognise this Bank Holiday by doing as little work as possible today.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, because I have a bad memory and lose track of the conversation easily.
I watched this excellent film last night on Hoopla, the same day my library announced that, due to budget constraints, they would be ending access to Hoopla in October. ☹️
And yet the chance of becoming a new superhero is worth the risk, I’d wager.
Draft 4.0 of Book 2 is done! If you’ve read Book 1 & are interested in being a beta reader while I work on Draft 4.1, message me. As it’s a direct sequel, knowledge of the 1st book is a must, thanks. Experience of beta reading & giving useful feedback in a timely manner is a plus. Cheers.
No, that was me. Permanently.
Went to a Renaissance Faire over the weekend. Saw a lot of cool costumes, but my favourite was a guy wandering around looking confused as the David Tennant iteration of The Doctor.
You should watch ‘Last Night in Soho’ because it is very good but also to honour Terrence Stamp. RIP.
Having another one of those occasional “what if we bought an air fryer?” days.
I only use this option for short periods of time because I’ve convinced myself it will suffocate me.
Those Second Amendment guys practicing in the woods all these years are gonna end up siding with the tyrannical government, aren’t they?

Next week, Trump has agreed to meet Putin in DisneyWorld, then Vegas and finally in Cawker City, Kansas to see the world’s largest ball of twine.
Yeah. Unfortunately all my stuff is here, though.
Gavin Newsom doing everything he can to make me like him again and it may be working.
Sure, it’s just a sandwich, but what if it had spicy mayo and some of it got in his eye, or he’s allergic to eggs, or a sharp crust sliced his cheek, or it was a grenade or Molotov cocktail or pie a clown might throw at a circus, not so funny now is it?
Trump’s latest decree regarding DC is a trial balloon. Expect a Reichstag fire event in another major city soon.

Sounds like it was record-breaking rainfall in places. Some of the videos of areas I know are crazy! 😲
Severe rain last night. Flash flooding reported all around us. Thankfully we didn’t lose power. The sump pump kept up and is still kicking out once a minute, but the basement is dry and we’re safe. Looks like a few FB friends didn’t fare so well. ☹️
Store website: Check online to see if we have the item in store before you leave! That will make the disappointment even more bitter when you’re here and we can’t find it!
At least it’s my car this time.
Hey @howardking.bsky.social can you believe I’m still let loose with one of these things..? 😆
Cleaning the house because the house is dirty and cleaning the house because we have people coming over are two very different chores with two very different vibes.
OK, that’s enough for me to know I don’t need to investigate further. Thank you.
Excuse me for a moment while I become my Dad but who is Sydney Sweeney and is there any good reason why I should care?
Reading an article about the woman who killed members of her family with poisonous mushrooms, and this paragraph about one of the survivors jumped out at me. Sometimes I just love the understated prose of the BBC.
This is who runs this account.
Support an indie author. Get a cool book to read. What’s not to like?
Do you love #scifi or #fantasy? Do you love a good sale? Well, this week, between 7-11 of August, is the Epic Sale of Beloved SFF, where over a hundred books that have been recommended by other authors will be 0.99 or less. Check the list: talesfromthecircle.com/epicsale2025...
Every jacket can be a camouflage jacket if you choose your backgrounds very carefully.
Me on FB:
*shakes fist at blu-ray with only one version*
I liked it but didn’t love it. Was far (jump)scarier than the abysmal Exorcist 2, but seemed disjointed. Read up about it today and seems parts were reshot. There is an original version (‘Legion’) out there that I want to track down now.
All human life was there.
It’s possible that there’s a generation that will wax nostalgically about clicking through Netflix options in the same way I look back fondly on traipsing the Blockbuster aisle, idly skimming the back of VHS boxes.
They will be told it’s Biden’s fault. They will told that everything is far better than it used to be. They will be told that immigrants are the problem. They will be told that Democrats will enslave them. And they will believe it and continue to vote against the evidence in front of their eyes.
It’s mostly drowned out by the weird noise the dishwasher started making several months ago.
The people down our street who have had a flag similar to this one in their front yard for months have taken it down, I noticed today. I wonder if this is significant… 🤔
Finally fixed the problem of the weird noise the washing machine has started making by retiring to a different room further away.
I have this on audiobook. Very fond memories of McCoy persuading a Klingon (I think) that his doctor is trying to kill him.
*how to keep ear buds from falling out* *how to locate a missing ear bud* - my browser history if I owned ear buds
Nice! I’m watching this for the first time this Sunday. 👻😱🤮
The good people of the world need to get louder, I can still hear the bad people.
Yup, slumming it, I reckon. Not scary, didn’t make sense, lots of locusts though. Looking forward to the third one still.
If you’re going to have that many locusts in a film, it really needs to be mentioned in the title. Just my opinion.
Love it! 😆
Hello, I’m a cat in a romcom. I am a metaphor for the loneliness the leading lady feels before she finds her true love. I know that I am in a film and that my owner is a huge star. I do not care. I am a cat.
Yeah, I’ve heard good things about number 3, which I’ll see next week. Haven’t heard anything at all about the most recent sequel, which doesn’t bode well.
I’m working my way through the Exorcist films. Over the past few weeks, I’ve seen the two (!) prequels & rewatched the original. Tonight I’m diving into the first sequel for the first time. I’ve heard it’s terrible. I can’t wait! 😊
History will document that the US embraced Fascism to ‘own the libs’, we are so stupid.
This country better shape up soon or so help me god I’m gonna have to start a podcast.
And that is the cheapest. Are a family of 4 gonna drop $500 for a film? 🤷♂️
Watching ‘Sunday Morning’ and they have a bit about the new ‘Wizard of Oz’ showing at The Sphere in Vegas. Looked up ticket prices just for funsies. $114. 😳
Dear Scotland, Please keep him. Thanks, The United States of America.
Letterboxd challenge: Take this one line review - “Our boy did not deserve that” - and see how many films you can post it for.
New #BookReview! Tonight on the blog I've got The Magic Circle by @barryryerson.bsky.social, a fantastic YA dystopian novel blending sci-fi and magic in an interesting way with plenty of LGBT+ and disability rep. Big Umbrella Academy vibes. Really enjoyed this! www.alankdell.co.uk/... 💙📚🪐 #SFF
Yeah. Except I’m the only one in the office. 🤷♂️
Republicans: “Oh, so you say you *really* want the list released, even though Democrats will be on it?!” Me: “Yes.”
Imagine if Obama was being accused of embezzling, his accountant was jailed for being party to embezzlement, and Obama’s former lawyer went to talk to him in prison to see whether Obama was actually involved at all. Then imagine Fox News anchors’ heads exploding on live TV.
I’m in the office today instead of working from home because of an in-person meeting which was just canceled. Happy Friday everyone.
DOJ: “Was Trump one of the clients on Epstein’s island?” Ghislaine Maxwell: “Yes.” DOJ: *waves presidential pardon in the air* “Sorry, what was that? I didn’t hear you.”
I totally believe that, if necessary, I could successfully land a plane full of screaming passengers despite having no flight experience, even though I totally couldn’t.
*sigh* *sigh*
For every like this post receives, I will glance at my phone, shake my head a little and sigh.
Unsettling to be excited about the book I’m writing being nearly finished when the country is going to shit.
