When using a public toilet I always try to get out as quickly as possible without touching anything. Never have I wondered what anyone else’s genitals looked like while doing that. Trans rights are human rights.

The first (1955) Danish edition of Ray Bradbury’s FAHRENHEIT 451. Later editions did not convert the title, so this is the only SI-compatible edition! 🎢

Was treated to a most wonderful library today. And a decent helping of autumn.

A long corridor, lit from the right. It has rows and rows of bookshelves leading off it

🎵To eat a Minion
🎵Holding up a towel to hide from god
🎵And wouldn't it be nice
🎵Though quite forbidden
🎵Savouring the yellow flesh of Bob

I was given this as a Christmas gift and had never heard of it. It’s now one of the books that’s stayed with me and I keep thinking about it. I just can’t describe it to anyone but I foist it at them saying, “I can’t explain, but read it.”

I’d not thought of it like this. Interesting and scary read.

I'm pretty sure that taking someone's prestigious titles away doesn't retroactively undo any abuse they inflicted on children, but then I freely admit I'm no legal expert.

Made my family come to a cemetery today to find fungus. Devil’s fingers. Very pleased with myself.

A scaly ball in grass, dirt if cracked Ken, with pinkish white pithy flesh inside.

By the time he’s ’talking about Jolene in his sleep’ and calling her name out and whatnot, our narrator has already lost. It’s not about pleading ‘don’t take my man’. She’s got to look at the underlying situation.

Found a lovely cup of tea on my desk today, nice and hot. Thanked my colleague who told me I’d just made it myself. And made her one too.

I cleaned the chicken mirror and I may accidentally have broken Barracuda. She’s been humming to herself for fifteen minutes now.

Turns out that when Americans said "If it weren't for us you'd be speaking German now..." their objection was to learning a second language, not fascism.
