Yup

The Dungeon poster, only the castration device is labelled 'a little sit down' and the women onlooking are 'ADHD'

Wangleberry@wangleberry· 23d

Nothing says 'fun for all the family' like simulated castration This is on exiting the London Aquarium, btw. You know, a place lots of children visit

Advert for the London Dungeon. An anxious-looking actor in everyday clothes watches as a costumed actor with obviously fake blood on his face waves some kind of long-handled guillotine-like device in the vicinity of the first actor's Personal Zone. Two bland women look on, laughing. It's somehow giving Freudian weirdness without actually being interesting or entertaining.

Two idiots <3

Two black cats on a cream carpet; one is partly-loafed, the other stretched out. It looks like they are holding paws. Neither one gives off any particular air of understanding, or indeed having a single braincell to share between them.

Gnome with a chainsaw; probably shouldn't have given him that

Gnome with a long beard, red hat, blue trousers, a yellow top, running at full-tilt, carrying a chainsaw and with an air of ill-intent

Good morning, bluesky! What are your minor peeves, irritations, and annoyances today?

Wangleberry@wangleberry· Jul 9

Sorry, everyone, but it's a very pleasant 27C in the shade here in Leeds

A garden in summer; blue skies, a lawn, a greenhouse, a sandwich

A pylon looms over a canal. It is high summer. The light is golden. Fresh green. A boat in the foreground.

Tiny horse

A shetland pony by a canal. Summer. Evening sunshine and fields reflected in the water.

My god, the Saturday nights I had here

Wangleberry@wangleberry· Jul 7

Local vixen. Mum and Dad leave cat food out for her and the hedgehogs (obvs it gets stolen by the other local cats and foxes, too). Earlier in the spring, she brought her cubs in to the garden to show them off. 'Look. I made these out of the cat food you gave me.'

Red fox on a garden wall, sniffing delicately. She is sleek and glossy. It is high summer.

The Humming

A path by a canal in the countryside. Looming over all: Pylons.

Wangleberry@wangleberry· Jul 6

Please enjoy this good Looming Pylon

A canal; a house made of Yorkshire stone; willows; a Looming Pylon behind all

Does anyone recognise this? Calling @demontomatodave.bsky.social in particular? It is an object of the 1990s, I can tell you that much. Possibly just a kinder egg toy?

Wangleberry@wangleberry· Jul 6

Have you ever seen more 1990s-coded jewellery

Silver bracelet of smiling suns, in that vague astrological new age style that was everywhere circa 1995

Wangleberry@wangleberry· Jul 6

That's not bad for what would have been 13 years old

Going through an old box of stuff from the attic. Had a driving lesson that day. We were all astonished to be given history homework.

Close Encounter of the Bum Kind

A bottom looms over a displeased man. The bottom is enjoying itself.

This bum is a senior Civil Servant in Whitehall

A cartoon bottom, talking into a mobile phone and clutching a small pointless bag, talking utter civil-service-shibbolleth bollocks

Wangleberry@wangleberry· Jun 28

Good night, bluesky. Sound on.

Wangleberry@wangleberry· Jun 26

I'm sorry, but it came to me as I was drifting off, and I had to share it with the world lest it become too powerful through feasting on my mind alone

Wangleberry@wangleberry· Jun 25

No weather tomorrow, thank goodness

Wangleberry@wangleberry· Jun 25

All three of ours have basically been this all week. They do not pay rent.

Look, here's one in the wild - using 'genre' to mean 'elements of specifically scifi or fantasy', rather than a generic term for 'the type of thing something is'. Why? Why cede ground to language which positions 'lit fic' as a normative baseline?

'Click below for lots of interesting discussion. For
me, I feel like there was an era where general
fiction with genre elements was

1. being marketed as
I
genre-defying"
2. ONLY in conversation with general fiction, not
at all with SFF'

SO as a SFF-first reader, the reads were incredibly
flat.

A brightly-lit fuel forecourt, with a car entering on the left. In the distance, a hot pink and pale blue sunset. Hot being the operative word.

An elaborate shitpost - which took me forty-five minutes when I should have been trying to sleep, and which was a fun exercise in gilding the lily - but a shitpost nonetheless

These eyes have seen a thousand wonders shine:
Great miracles, in heaven and on earth,
And though my life be short compared to thine,
A thousand years could not contain its worth.

I watched great ships of war sweep through the night,
New constellations 'gainst a starlit haze,
Where, bested by Orion's ancient might,
They roared their glory in a final blaze;

And softer still, in silent darkness stood,
I saw two worlds, and, passing inbetween,
I witnessed there what no Man ever could -
The light of God in thrall to a machine.

As tears in rain are lost like morning dew,
I give these echoed sights, in death, to you.

Thank you so much to everyone who has been very kind and put some pennies in the slot machine. It is a massive, massive help. Here is Today.
