From the Larchives: The Rocky Horus Picture Scroll. One of my favorite works. I had the assistance of an Egyptology PhD student to translate the Time Warp phonetically. Enjoy :)

Edinburgh Castle from Salisbury Crags, with a bank of cloud behind it and surrounded by wispy fog.

The Last Dinner Party on stage. Keyboards on the left, Aurora is wearing a black dress. Emily on lead guitar is next to her in a floaty white one. Abigail in the middle in another white dress, has one hand in the air. Lizzie on rhythm wears a suit, and Georgia on the right is wearing black culottes and a white top with ribbons tied off the neck of her bass

Abigail is dramatically lying on the floor

Abigail is at the back with an acoustic guitar as I think Aurora is singing

Tiny criminal, photographed this morning.

She jumped in the plant and promptly got digging zoomies.

A very small kitten, tabby and white, shouting while I hold her up in the air with one hand. If you look closely you can see that both she, and my hand, are covered in dirt. The plant in question is blurry in the background.

It's Ace Week! 💜 Ace Week is marked annually, to raise awareness of ace identities and the challenges and barriers that asexual people can face, to bring together people across the asexual spectrum and celebrate the beautiful diversity of the ace community.

Graphic with the colours of the asexual flag in the background. It says "Ace Week! Oct 19th - 25th 2025"

Graphic with a purple background. In separate boxes, it says "Asexuality is an orientation and just like being gay or lesbian, bi or straight it’s a core part of someone’s identity." "People of any and all genders can be asexual." "Asexuality is on a spectrum. Demisexuals and grey-aces, who only experience sexual attraction rarely or under some circumstances, are also included under the ace umbrella." "Asexuality is not the same as being celibate or unable to have sex." " Some asexual people have no interest in romantic relationships, and some do! People who don’t experience romantic attraction are known as aromantic."

Of course women don't like the Cybertruck.

Women only want one thing, and it's donkeys carrying lambs up the Italian Alps in special pouches.

We’re back… but not okay.
It’s been a long, painful silence.
Not because we wanted to disappear — but because life forced us into the shadows.
This is Reem and Sakher.
And we are not okay.
We are both very sick from malnutrition.

The Leverage cast seeing the Louvre heist and collectively posting, "Not it," is the whimsy we deserve.

The lake of Llyn Cerrig Bach, Anglesey-one of those rare places where the veil between then & now can feel like mist, & never more so than, having spent the weekend hunting for its lost Iron Age artefacts, & with its ancient peat ingrained beneath fingernails, someone lifts a carnyx to their lips

Immigrants apparently have unlimited free time in which we must be mentoring, volunteering, and generally doing a bunch of stuff that people born here are absolutely free to not engage in
Girl, I have five jobs. When am I meant to be doing this?

Ben Ansell @benansell.bsky.social · 3d

Haven’t read the report yet but this looks to me like another example of adding yet more makework to the immigration process for unclear reasons other than possibly getting mentioned in Politico Playbook.

Can I interest you in some desolate landscapes getting swallowed by fog

A litter-strewn path with water on the left and large industrial buildings on the right. It is swallowed by thick fog almost immediately.

View over a large flat grassy plain with strange hills, with lots of rubbish dumped around the edges. A thick fog leaves only the slightest hint of buildings in the distance

View in thick fog towards the sun. Buildings are vaguely visible across a road and a metal fence either side.

An overgrown railway line and dirt path converge in the foggy distance. They are lined with brambles and trees in autumn colours. There's promise of blue sky above.
