Reading 'Dunce' by Mary Ruefle and mostly I have no idea what she is saying to me but I like it

“A radical humanitarian poet, O’Rourke exposes the futility of bloodshed with fierceness & unwavering empathy... ‘Prophetstown’ is as much an appeal to conscience as it is an exceptional literary achievement.” ~ @mollytwomey.bsky.social on ‘Prophetstown’, now available from all good bookshops 📚

Dropped a cup of coffee on my laptop so if you need me send your finest pigeon x

And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

Thinking of complimenting the many suv owners in my estate by saying 'hoho that massive beast of an unnecessary machine looks capable of causing catastrophic injury and a higher chance of death. Wicked cool, buddy'. 👌👌👌

☀️ As the sun sets on the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere, we’re tipping our hat to the Summer Solstice and Midsummer... This beautifully coloured work by Susan Lecky (1837-1896) is likely a view from Valentia Island, County Kerry as the expansive Atlantic Ocean stretches into the distance 🌊

3️⃣ The mandatory 3-day wait is paternalistic, medically unnecessary, and delays women from accessing timely care, sometimes forcing them to travel abroad. 👏 NWC welcomes proposed legislation to remove it and we will keep campaigning for abortion access for everyone who needs it.

Ah English Paper 1, a big day for those of us who inexplicably decided to make that the rest of our lives.

Adored listening to students being happy with English paper 1 on the radio, the most glam paper of all x can't wait to read all the writers of the future 😍

Drs and specialists are expensive, but today my Dr said 'aw poor thing' and the letter from the specialist said 'very pleasant lady' so it was all worth it ☺️
