Francis Crozier reclines fetchingly on the Arctic shale on his side posed like Dr Ian Malcolm with one arm resting on his raised bent knee but in full battered-looking cold weather naval slops and with a little sun protector tucked under his hat. Somebody else is bending down next to him and a few other people are milling around in the background. The eternal reminder:

SATURDAY CHILLIN’

Don’t fucken @ me

I’M CHILLIN’

From a backburnered May-December literary #MMRomance, "Still Waters." (Not a literal bear.)

"An older ginger bear living alone in a house full of antiques and art sounded like a man Ken definitely wanted to get to know better.
Much better."

Due to popular demand we have added a new Patreon tier.

Screenshot of the Antiques Freaks podcast Patreon page. Text describing the new tier reads as follows: "For $8,000/month, Ken will compliment the mid-century modern furniture of your choice. He will find something sincerely positive to say about anything and everything from tables to chairs to entire interiors done up in the Mad Men fashion. He will tell you that you have made excellent choices in selecting individual pieces. He will sing the praises of smooth blond-wood and clean lines. You will be stunned at how much one man can learn to love Mid-Century Modern, for a price.

These compliments are available through text, audio, or video.

If you're willing to cover travel and expenses he will also do this in person."

Spooky season is upon us - you know what that means...

The Haunting of Heatherhurst Hall is a Gothic #ffromance rife with horror and heartache, wherein an American heiress makes an ill-advised marriage to bring herself closer to the woman who’s stolen her heart.

As a pallet cleanser may I recommend AMC's 'the terror' season one to those who like good writing? Honestly one of the best written shows, holds up on rewatches EVEN BETTER than the first time, sound design/costuming/set/acting perfect no notes (cgi a little wonky but I forgive them 😌)

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?
