No more fantasy worlds where the magic and wonder is going away. I want fantasy worlds that are getting more magical and wondrous every day. I want to see the elves coming back from the West just to get a taste of all this wonder.

Rewatching some old Poirots. 'One, Two, Buckle My Shoe' has prompted two realisations. First, that you could remove the death scenes with the spooky effects and the ironic nursery rhymes and the episode wouldn't suffer at all.

It's cool when a game's save feature involves the characters making notes about their progress, reporting to an outside party, or something like that. The story's only set when it's recorded, and if you died, you didn't get to record it, so you just go back a few paragraphs and try again!

Sometimes, I like to share a hot take on a cold topic. For instance, I disapprove of caricaturists who combine a realistic style with grotesquely exaggerated features. If you can't caricature someone with only slight exaggeration, or capture a recognisable likeness in a cartoonish style, get out!

After a particularly physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting few months, we managed to get away for a weekend and see some nature. We saw horses, cows, sheep, alpacas, kangaroos, rabbits, lizards, ducks, ravens, ibises, galahs, cockatoos, magpies, bees, and some critters I didn't recognise.

This is probably going to sound ridiculous, but god I hate memes these days. There used to be a lot of memes that were just harmless fun - talking animals and such. Now they're all far-right stereotypes.

There's a very wise and worthy post on Tumblr about coercive systems of division and control, and I'm not here to criticise, but this is the first line and I can't tell you how seen I felt reading it until I saw it didn't end at the word 'person' and thus wasn't saying what I thought it was saying.

Hello, 'Owen'. I want to play a game. In ten minutes, the machine in front of you will break all of your bones with big hammers and set fire to your eyes. You can leave at any time, if you can just admit that you're trans, you idiot. There is still time - for now. The clock is ticking...

'Show, don't tell' is an important principle when writing. For instance, instead of having a character say their name is John Hunter, they should be shown shooting a deer while sitting on the toilet.

Catching up on the new Kill James Bond. James Fox appears. 'No relation to Laurence Fox, I hope.' My heart dropped. I'm so sorry, Abi. We all have to live in this world.

Househunters on Escape to the Country used to all want to run donkey sanctuaries. Now they all want to rent out glamping pods. Donkerys are the real victims of the englampification of society.

Years ago, I read an article - I think it was on The Straight Dope - about the habit of tapping a cigarette before lighting it. Apparently, it was quite common for many years, but few could agree on the right way to do it, or the reason why.
